Good morning all from a dreich and miserable Glasgow a day for the house today and a warm welcome to all the newcomers. There did seem to be a few yesterday.
Glad to hear you are becoming more mobile, Mick, just be careful.
Looking at the reckless ignoring of social distancing by some people, I worry about another wave. We have had no deaths in Scotland for 48 hours, so a ray of hope here.
Good luck Ginny, with your project, sounds just like my cup of tea from your description.
Pants, so glad you arrived safely. I'm sorry to hear about your DD Scentia. Despite what she has said, a girl needs her mum at a time like this. She will be exhausted, both physically and emotionally.
Yesterday, I did eventually receive a return phone call from the hospital.
My side effects included, dreadful stomach cramps, an all over (driving me to distraction) itch and a hacking cough. ☹️ The cough is a rarer side effect.
The hacking cough, of course set Covid alarm bells ringing, especially, as I'm shielding due to my lung conditions.
Eventually after insisting, I have been nowhere near anyone for 16 weeks, do not have a temperature and have not lost my sense of taste and smell, it was decided it must be the medication and I do not have Covid.
Unfortunately the medication will be in my system for another two weeks and it usually takes about six weeks for my body to get used a new drug, so the next dose will be postponed for a week to give me a bit of respite.
All I can do is take antihistamines and see my GP if things get worse.
Yesterday I did manage to clean the cooker, with some interference from DH, when he returned from the golf. That man is a pest!
The rest of the day, I pottered about in the garden, it's very therapeutic and solitary, which I like.
The constant rain has caused everything to sprout, especially my herbs which are some height! A job for DH is to trim the trees at the bottom of the garden yet again, as, they are growing at a phenomenal rate.
Our plan is to move DGD's Wendy house in among the trees and make her a den, which will then make room for my new vegetable raised beds. She so loves a den. ?? However, when she went exploring there recently, she discovered the the statues of the scantily clad, Roman ladies. To say she was horrified, ? is an understatement! ?
Hopefully, when shielding (I hope) is over at the end of the month, she will be down here to play. I can't wait!
Thinking of Bluesapphire and all who need our love and support. Take care when you are out and about, everyone. Wishing you the best day you can everyone.
PS. DH is planning to make beer today. The last time he made beer was over thirty years ago, when NASA offered to use it for rocket fuel, it was mind blowing! ?
Watch this space!
