And happy belated anniversary, Steve and Pat!

942 829 And happy belated anniversary, Steve and Pat! Thanks Sarah. I nearly said that I hoped you would be able to return to the UK but perhaps that's not what you want. Maybe you're hoping to be stuck there for the next three months If I get a positive test result while there I won't be able to fly back until I get a negative test ... I would be going for it except I have a cat here. No good options for the cat to go to another house, unfortunately. I'm not sure how long my family will be able to visit and look after her. I see, that would be a problem but hopefully it won't come to that.

I have a headache, sore throat and mouth ulcers. Normally, I would just ignore it and take things easy for a couple of days but in today's climate I thought I ought to check whether it was Covid. So I took my temperature and did a lateral flow test, since I had an unused home test kit I've been itching to use. It was negative of course.

That sounds miserable, Steve. :-( I hope you feel better soon.

Another worrying symptom is how it's affected your ability to count ...

Yes, a few other things are a bit shaky too, I have completely lost my ability to wash pots and mow the lawn.

Anyway, I shan't be doing any mowing of lawns this week because it is raining solidly and forecast to continue all day today and tomorrow.
Plus, Miisa doesn't have a lawn.

942 815 If being unable to wash and fold laundry is also a symptom then I've also caught it.

The problem with painting and decorating is that it uses muscles you haven't used for years and leaves you very tired after a couple of hours.
Corollary: The problem with being tired after a couple of hours painting and decorating is that you can easily lose your balance and fall over into the plant pots and garden furniture behind you thereby sustaining damage to your arms and legs.

Could worse - if you fell over into paint pots and house furniture ..

It could have been worse. A few seconds earlier, I was hold a tray of paint and a paint roller. I'm not sure how I managed not to do that.
I've slept for ten hours in the past 24 but I still feel completely wiped out.
Tomorrow, I'm either dog-sitting or going to a friends' wedding. My daughter and her husband are guests at their friends' wedding and I'm looking after their dog. Unless I can persuade someone else to do it for me.
