Approaching

-

 The dreaded lurgy is approaching.  Most days this week I've heard of someone testing positive.  Today was pretty close - my grandson's girlfriend.  We do not actually know her but obviously it affects my daughter and her family now.   That said, we are hopeful it will pass on by!  My grandsons girlfriend works in a care home and as such she is tested before every shift so at her shift during the week she tested negative but this morning she tested positive.  He's only seen her once this week, sods law, last night for the fireworks but he swears they didn't kiss or cuddle and barely even touched other than she handed him a packet of sparklers.  She's not been to their house since last weekend thankfully.  Our grandson is keeping as much distance as he can now in the family home and we'll be keeping them distant too.   We'll still have to dog sit but as before my daughter will drop him off at the door where he zooms in and when she's finished work he'll zoom back out to greet her.  No contact necessary.  Our grand daughter will walk home herself if her dad can't collect her from school.  She usually comes here as we live two minutes from her school and waits for whoever arrives first to collect her.  Her own house is only a ten minute walk but has two fairly busy roads to cross but as she's now 11 we all feel she's well able to do that now.  Her brother will be at home too.  

I'm so so over this pandemic now as I know everyone else is.  I wish we could just get on top of it and wipe it out.  Seems like it might be a while yet though.

      So far so good. Even the girlfriend has no symptoms. Long may it last. x

    I think that's the harder thing this time round isn't it - we all know people infected or maybe even hospitalized and/or who have died from it. Thankfully for us my DIL tested negative so that made life easier since my son had only seen her the day before (at the divorce court). It really is "creeping" closer and closer isn't it, so I guess now we might see why lockdown is necessary. Stay safe!

      Thankyou and I'm so glad to hear your DIL tested negative. Our grandson will only get tested if he shows any symptoms but it highlights the fact you can be positive without having symptoms and has been a huge wakeup call. You stay safe too. x

    I hope he'll be ok, and his girlfriend too. I've sorted out the attic room as the bed settee is up there, just in case one of us gets it and needs to isolate. J's cousin died in the first wave, several colleagues had it, and in August several of KL's former colleagues had it, which meant she was contacted by track and trace and had to isolate. There have been a few outbreaks at the hospital... one amongst J's friends in another department, and it seems to be because they have to share a computer, as those who don't use the computer didn't get it! As J has to share a computer I've told him to be extra vigilant with sanitizing both that and his hands!

      So far the girlfriend is showing no symptoms and was only tested because of her job and thank goodness for it! He was contacted by track and trace and told to quarantine. He more or less lives in his bedroom at the best of times so its not too hard for him! Their house has never been so clean lol. Computer sharing is a big worry at times like this, computers and remotes are bad enough at the best of times so now they are just a breeding ground, I'm surprised its still allowed! (well, actually, maybe not so surprised!) I hope you all stay safe. x

I Didn't Want to Just Disappear!

I hate it when bloggers just disappear!  I'm aware I am guilty of this so I'm here to say thanks for listening to my tales and for all the lovely comments but I no longer feel the need to let the world know my comings and goings.  To be honest I've even stopped reading most blogs now too hence the lack of comments from me.  I've taken more to watching You Tube if and when I have time.  In summer I always spend less time on the computer as I have too much to do in the garden etc  but I don't foresee myself coming back to blogging this time.  I've come and gone too often now and although we should never say never, I think this is it. We've been to Australia to visit with my son, his partner and their dog and we had a wonderful time.  Now, 3 weeks since we came home, it feels like it never even happened! I'll probably lurk around some blogs from time to time.  I hope you all keep well and stay safe. Bye for now. xx

LIfe Goes On.

And so it continues - Covid has made its way to my family now.  My daughter has tested positive today.  Of course, sods law, she was the one who dropped her dog at our house this morning.  Normally her husband does it but she said the dog wasn't going to let her leave the house without him so she left early enough to drop him off with us.  Fortunately she's wasn't in for long and kept fairly distant from us but still...   She tested herself when she went home at lunchtime to check on her daughter who has tonsilitis.  At work she'd felt a bit ropey and thought a test would probably come up negative however that's her grounded now for the duration and I only hope she gets a mild version of it and that no-one else gets it from her!  Her hubby picked the dog up early this afternoon wearing a mask while waiting outside.  I daresay it will be this way for a week or so now. We have made the bold decision to go to Sydney to visit our son!  We ca...

Plastered

 Well, we're plastered!  It's looking good.  As I sit here typing this hubby is at my door vaccuming some of the dust.  He's been going round smoothing off the bits that stuck where they weren't supposed to be and I've just watched him lol.  I feel I've hit a bit of a brick wall today.  I think we were so busy preparing for this and today is the first day I've really stopped and it's hit me and I feel exhausted!  I think hubby must run on Duracell batteries - clearly my batteries are cheap and nasty ones! While the plasterer was here we were 'trapped' outside the dining room which is effectively the middle of the house.  We call it the dining room but its the main room in the house - almost like a dining kitchen would be as the kitchen is off the dining room and the living room is off the dining room but we use the dining room most of the time, its where everyone congregates so it was awkward not having it in use.  Fortunately we can get out ...
