Happy Easter everyone, from a cloudy Glasgow, where its 11°C.
Pants, my condolences to you and your family. ?
Bella, its so uplifting to hear of news of your wee grandsons. New life at Easter, what joy!
I had a lovely surprise visit yesterday from DS2, who stood at the bottom of the garden, while I sat in a chair at the door. I hadn't seen him since he went to the USA on honeymoon. It was unexpected, because they were off to the theatre in Edinburgh.
TillyTrotter, he had brought an Easter Egg, was that your work? ?
His first words were: Mum you look like sh**t! I replied: I feel like it too!!. ☹
Later on beautiful spring flowers from the still besotted newlyweds arrived, what a lovely surprise. ?
He had just left, when DD and SIL arrived with a care package. They were rather grumpy and looked quite fragile.
Apprently, it had been SIL's works leaving do, the previous evening, their first night out in two years, so they were allowed to be fragile!
Much to my relief, their visit was short, I just wanted to go back to bed, but was trying to put on a face, so they wouldn't worry. They are so good to DH and I, I don't know how we would have survived my sheilding period, without them.
Easter dinner is a bit of disaster. I may just use the roast beef to resole DH'S shoes!
I thought I would cook it in the Ninja, to make life easier, as DH can't cook , otherwise the meat would have gone to waste.
My brain wasn't working, so I just estimated the cooking time.
I was in bed and DH, who is still struggling, fell asleep!
My only consolation is that we have both lost our sense of taste and smell,( that's why he failed to smell the aroma of charred meat), so it wouldn't have mattered anyway, what it tasted like!
I have no desire to eat, but surprisingly, I have a craving for chocolate! ? I will be like the side of a house, by the time I am released on parole.
I have always enjoyed Easter day, as a family day, so many happy memories. However, I will spend it mainly in bed.
I have had most of the named side effects of the anti virals, (not unexpected according to the doctor, given previous similar episodes) plus Covid symptoms, so a gentle day ahead.
I am on a high, a mixture of relief that I no longer need to worry about catching it, but especially the fact that I am in my own bed (despite it being a designated snore zone) and not a hospital one, as predicted. I am a very fortunate lady!!
It is good to hear that the other Covid warriors are improving, however, my thoughts are also with those, who will not find much joy today.
Safe journey Ash and OldD.
Have a lovely day folks!
