Thank you all, @themadvix I'm just so annoyed! It's not too bad, but a great excuse to stay in bed...!

Look! I made a flower!
Surprisingly flowers are easier than circles.

Love the flower 👍!

Beautiful! I made a crochet flower once too… that was the extent of my crocheting! 😂 Something tells me you’ll go further!

 Glad you’re not feeling too bad. Take it very easy though - my friend who has fibro is still recovering from long Covid 8 months later. Not saying there’s a direct link, but I think people with auto immune issues are more at risk. Take care! X

Thank you for the crochet love. I made another flower which looked terrible and put the crochet hook down. Lol.

I have not taken it easy. I tested negative Friday morning, called the bride to ask permission to come and went to the wedding! I won't lie, I felt really naughty going but then the day after the wedding, another bridesmaid who went with a cold tested positive (negative prior to the wedding) and the final bridesmaid was asymptomatic positive. Couldn't have got it from me because it was too soon (plus the cold existed long before I saw her) so not feeling guilty at all! Feel completely shattered now though.

Got a message from work that if you have COVID for five days you're coming back to work even if you have a positive test. Might be time to find a new job!

Currently waiting for the doctor to call, my hands are in rough shape. However, thought you might find it funny that I cannot wash my own hair so yesterday my mum had to do it. I'm literally a baby!

Urgh - that's rough what work have said:( I had another hospital pcr this week (2 weeks after testing positive) and I'm still testing positive on that, apparently (despite testing negative on lat flow 5 or 6 days ago)  although at lower levels.

Hope the doc sorts your hands! X

Sorry you've caught it with everything else going on greent. Hope it's not too bad (I really need to catch up with your diary)

Oh - I'm fine now, kp - thank you:)

Horrified at your work’s response to covid. I appreciate workforce pressures but surely you are just increasing risk of affecting the wider workforce and that’s before you consider how ill some people still are at day 6 etc.

My work isn't the greatest. They required us in the office during one of the not quite lockdowns, despite the fact we can easily work from home. well, not me at the time. I didn't have furniture during lockdown 1. 

Been doing surveys, I'm impressed with populus live which saved my £18 balance from 2014. Insane.

Thinking about buying a table top dish washer.  I will probably spend at least another 3 months pondering.

Finally have an in person doctor's appointment about my hands. I'm not looking forward to them being touched but I feel like I might make progress. 

Also, I made a rose. It took about a million hours. I'm unreasonably proud.
