    Forgot to say, walking through the city centre on my way home I passed a mobile Covid testing unit and they tried to entice me into having a free test. Declined their kind offer 😆

    Awe he forgot to eat, that’s so sad. Good job you’re not in work every day. 
    At least it didn’t go to waste. 
    You must be exhausted this week,with your early mornings and your usual busy days.
    Enjoy your wine, hopefully you can get an early night.

    I’ve just heard the extremely sad news a work friend has passed away, only in her 50s, she was such a lovely person.

    She had Myeloma and recovered, then had a terrible accident on holiday while celebrating her recovery and almost lost her life, was in hospital abroad for a long time, then she miraculously recovered only to get Myeloma again, she recovered yet again then got Covid and ended up in hospital but recovered from. Apparently her health started to deteriorate and she passed away yesterday, She came to my house last year to bring me some plants and she looked so well, it’s just not fair.
