    Happy New Year KC! It's lovely to see some 'sunshine' isn't it (i.e. there's actually enough light not to need the lights on all the time!).

    So, as well as pneumonia in the southern part of our family, we have covid and an unspecified infection in our northern family - they managed to get a GP appointment, and the GP actually called an ambulance, got them admitted.  Doctors are hardly seen, place is madly overcrowded, and they're coping with an 8 year old who wants his mum and isn't allowed to see her.

    Meanwhile, here's me, 250 miles away, messing about with vinegar on the walls :(

    Oh dear KC, that sounds awful 😢 Is the 8 year old the patient or is it his mum? Sorry, I couldn’t make it out. Not good either way. But, apart from sending good wishes, there’s nothing really you can do, so I don’t see what’s wrong with sorting out your house - it needs doing too, so you have a healthy environment. I hope you hear good news soon!

    Crikey, sending lots of good wishes to your family, what a difficult situation. I agree though, there's nothing you can do, so concentrating on making your own home a better environment is no bad thing xx

    Sending get well wishes to all of your poorly family members- especially the mum in hospital x 

    I echo the others - doing good things in your home is no bad thing - and may possibly help to serve as a slight distraction x
