Could very well be COVID Bakers. I had it a few weeks ago, I was exhausted for a week, could barely stand up. I had no symptoms whatsoever first time I had COVID, but Mum’s GP said this Summer COVID has been a bit different. Not getting as many in same household ( thankfully), but nasty if you get it. We can get test kits, only because my OH is on the vulnerable list (cancer, no spleen), so anyone else with a vulnerable member of family, it might be worth asking your GP. Kits are smaller, 5 tests, but they are a lot easier to use. You have to pick up from a pharmacy. Handy to have in, I have to test because of Mum. It would have finished her had she got it, so we are very careful.

A much duller day here with periods of rain, although it brightened up this evening and we have just had a spectacular red sky, which augurs well for tomorrow. Phoned the dentist around 8:30 this morning and they booked me an appointment for 3:15 this afternoon, when I had some adjustments made to my new plate which was much too tight and painful yesterday.. Received a phone call from the gas boiler service company to arrange a date for the fitting of the replacement parts, more great service, as the engineer only finish the service at 17:15 yesterday.

Nice photos, WN,  and pleased to read that had a good break and got home safely. 

Glad to hear that you are feeling much better, B2, and that the temperature has dropped to a more comfortable level.

Have a safe drive home David, you have covered a fair amount of ground this trip, with another long drive in the near future too. Take care.

Our weather is weird isn’t it, not hot here, in fact I had to find a sweater this afternoon as I was cold and I was dressed in jeans and a thick T-shirt. Then heavy rain for a few hours, puddles everywhere.

Hope that you recover soon Bakers. Nice photos Wherenext.

Thanks, TTDA. Will try and remember The Cowshed for the next time were up this way...  👍👍

Well the website back up and running after being off for most of the day.

We have got rain hooray started about 9.30 this morning and still raining only light and some heavier bursts but ok with that saves watering and topping up the water butts and a lot cooler upto 20C  lovely after the extreme heat.

Sorry to hear about your illness and hope you are recovering Bakers2 agree with Ttda it sounds like Covid as it has been been around some villages here so we keep out of the way if we can.

Enjoy your trip DSB a long drive.

Off to friends tomorrow morning as OH will help out a computer issue for them and then coffee afterwards so hope it is dry so we can sit outside.

Take care folks.

Like you takethedogalong I'm super careful. OH was on the vunerable list but wasn't invited for the spring jab.

I spoke to the GP receptionist before feeling poorly. Our village pharmacy has ceased requesting repeat prescriptions from GP"s we have to order ourselves. I needed to know how go do it online.  Turned out I needed codes and passwords - I wasn't as IT dumb aside feared. I think the vunerable bit got missed on our move! Apparently Covid jabs are government lead, so check out the website. That's closed as spring jabs over.

I will ask at the GP about test kits as looking at our meds they need GP approval before reissue. I'll check out vunerable status again too.

If it was covid no idea where it came from although I hear plenty of folk locally having it. I'm still Billy no mates in that I stand well back from folk when conversing 🤣. Also really pleased that OH seems to have been unaffected. 

Your symptoms sound very similar to mine.... 

I typed this reply, fortunately I copied it before pressing reply! I fear I may have broken, not that it takes much 😕,  the website by posting. It was a new to me message

For anyone wanting a Covid test Tesco or Boots sell them for about £2 each or £9 for a pack of five. Probably local chemist as well. Always worth having a couple in the house.

I saw a thread, started by Keiranstaff, at 0838 this morning regarding the lack of access to the website for some. Rowena updated about 1030. Apparently they use Fastnet to provide the website. A member commented a this afternoon.

I had it open in a tab, read it, a few minutes ago. A refresh gives the wrong way signs! Gone from the latest activity new discussions  too! Too much information divulged or keeping us in the dark?
