  • I hate dolls too, my mum said I used to throw them out of the cot when I was small and I only wanted toy animals  🤣.

    I'm sorry you feel unwell and tired still. Ignore the housework, who cares what it looks like? You're not allowed visitors anyway and you need to focus on resting and getting well.
    Im so relieved we aren't allowed visitors at the moment, I don't think I could cope with any anyway

    OBL - I think the evidence re your covid recovery is that you do need to rest. So you can go to work & rest at home but not do both of the above plus run around being Mrs Busy on days off as well. Lots of people will be opting for a quieter time this Christmas & I think you need to be one of them. A bit of additional rest might be exactly what you need.

    I've come to the same conclusion. I don't feel good at all tonight after being in town again today. Im going to have an early night because I've got work tomorrow and on Saturday I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to crack on with my knitting

    Just caught up with your diary OBL, sorry to hear you are still suffering with the after effects of Covid . They call it long Covid don't they , I think there will be a lot of people with it so maybe there will be more information on it in the future . 
    After hearing everyone talking about frightening things , I don't like shower curtains being shut so I can't see the bath, not sure what film I watched but it is a no no a shut curtain. 
    Hope you manage to rest tonight and tomorrow before you have work again. Take care . 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

    Im the same with the shower curtain 😀😀. I think some of my current illness is Fibro related too,I'm in quite a lot of pain which makes anything else hard to cope with, I do feel really tired though and still feel sick which is getting me down

    Dont laugh my fear is crows. Started after DH and I had watched the Alfred Hitchcock film "The Birds". All fine until I went to our kitchen and he crept up behind me and squawked like a crow. Been scared of them ever since. Our Jack russell loves them to chase.

    I am glad someone likes them. Yes they are cheeky but when they sit in a tree and I have to walk past they just make me go cold.
  • I don't mind them, but can see why they look sinister. I think a group of crows is actually called A Murder, which probably doesn't help...

    We have lots of crows where I live, they strut around, casually crossing the road. But I witnessed them killing a wood pigeon on the park across the road from me and it was awful. They were pecking away at it. I was seeing them off but they kept coming back, even though I had my dog with me who was also trying to see them off. 
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • I'm sorry you're still feeling rough OBL. I suppose you can't be sure if it's long covid or your fibromalgia (spelt wrong I think).

    I find crows a bit scary as they have such long beaks and I imagine them pecking at me 😟. Mind you I find seagulls a bit intimidating too as they are such large agressive birds 😟 (the ones where I live are anyway).
