Well, unsurprisingly I have a positive covid result this morning 🙄 Sigh. Managed to avoid it all this time, even when Mr Cheery had it at Christmas! Most vexing.
Hey ho. At least I'm off work this week anyway. I've cancelled the vets, and am trying to stay holed up in the study away from Mr Cheery 🙄 Good job I didn't have much in the way of exciting plans for my week off 🙄 At least it might spur me on to get some gardening done if I start feeling better - can't infect anyone out there!
So it looks like a day of knitting and watching videos for me. Any recommendations for cheery YouTube channels? Gardening/homesteading/ thrift etc? I've recently discovered Bernadette Banner who I'm enjoying (she's not actually under any of those categories 😂)5 -

Ahh - sorry to hear that (although not a surprise, given your symptoms - both of mine started in a similar fashion) - hopefully you start feeling better quite soon!

Thanks Cheery, but sadly not really! Taking it very easy today! (I should point out that all this extra time has been put to good use - have nearly read EH’s diary to date from the beginning)Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days
