    Hoping you are feeling better soon, lots of colleagues at work have Covid at the moment. I was meeting a friend today who is feeling very rough as well suspects it. 
    I came on to look at your photos, looks like the weekend was very enjoyable . 
    Are you going away over Christmas time again ?
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

  • Sorry to read you have Covid again. It seems to be rife at the moment… probably as there’s no restrictions anymore it’s spreading more widely.

    Feel better soon x

    Oh no! Hope it's not too bad and you get some rest and relaxion with the dog. Are you WFH or off sick? Because we can WFH a lot of people work when they're unwell which they shouldn't really but it must be saving our organisation a fortune in sick pay.

    I don't have a computer at home so I am having the time off.

    It's the second time I have had it now. The first being in 2021 just before my birthday.

    It was fairly mild last time so hoping it will be thistle as well.

    Ha - I love the Dambusters - it's my "not so local local!" - Greg & Steve who run it are ace, they've put so much work into it and the food is always cracking too. I do slightly miss the days when less folk knew about it through before the two extensions were built! :lol:  Lovely to see an unexpected photo of it on here! :grin: 

    In less good news, sorry to hear that you've got Covid again - there really does seem to be a fair amount of it about at the moment, although I guess that will likely continue just with less people realising it as time runs on - now it's out there in the wild the only thing that will change is people testing for it when feeing a bit rough I would think. At least it does mean for some folk them taking time off, anyway, rather than trying to work through it because they feel it's expected of them. Hopefully you'll get away with a mild case again and be negative really soon.

    Thanks all. 

    I'm not doing too bad at the minute. Feel OK just now. But I keep going through phases of feeling rough then coming round again.

    The annoying cough has started this afternoon as well 🙄 

    The other half hasn't got it yet so I have hot washed the bedding and towels for him to put back on when he gets home and I will use the spare bathroom and bedroom until I feel better.

    I know he will say don't bother but it makes sense to try and stop him getting it. Unless he already has of course!
