I hate to say it but little point in doing an LFT once symptoms are present - but a PCR at this stage means isolating while a result is waited for of course...ugh.

Another day, another dollar.
Still not feeling at my best
but plodding on.
Too much to do & not enough time to do it!!
That said everthing is falling into place!
Final decision on Hollyrood is a no.
I have made my peace with it.
The invasion arrives tomorrow so looking forward to it.
Not looking to the cooking & burning of said mealon Sunday.
