    Covid test done , no queue , it was very local as well . Just have to stay in now until result comes or Sunday as that is 7 days . Still have a temperature though. 
    I have ordered myself a new phone as mine looses battery power far to quick. Got an iPhone again but an old model paid for in full. Have a sim only contract already. First phone I have ever bought outright in years. 
    I don't need any shopping whilst in isolation , it's only a few days. I am missing my walk though . Am doing indoor exercise and watching what I am eating. 
    Work is still very busy and think it will be for a while yet, until lockdown measures are relaxed.

    I hope you get your test results soon Sunshine. If it's negative then you won't have to miss your walks. I'm glad you've got enough food to keep you going anyway.

    Take it easy and rest if you need to rather than working. Whatever your body is fighting it needs to rest to do it. 
    Happy new phone 👍

    My week just gets worse , a dear friend passed away yesterday no age 69 . I haven't got dressed today and have been so busy with work, no time for self pity.

    So sorry to read this. I have quite a few friends in their 70s and would be gutted to lose them. Good that work kept your mind off things. Fingers crossed for a negative test result.
