I haven't got much of an appetite, but I persuaded myself to have some chicken and barley soup, and I feel a little better for it. At least I can still taste things

The injections work.

Having covid is boring as you aren't that ill if the vaccinations work but you can't go out anywhere. I had it earlier on the year just before all the laws changed.

Oh Afternoon!

Why is my car always dirty two days after I washed it?

Yes, I assume it might be a lot worse without the vaccinations. But it's pretty unpleasant as it is

It's usually dust from the Sahara

After returning from my ungodly early start, I went back to bed for a few hours.

When I got up, the clouds had largely cleared and the sun had come out and it was a very pleasant drive down to the parentals. It started to rain as I approached their place so I decided not to bother with a detour to the car wash (same dust as on SE's car, I suspect).

A nice day was had with the parentals. The sun came out occasionally and it was rather on the breezy side.

The drive home was uneventful too. Some showers of varying enthusiasm.

Had to park in the next street as no room on my road. I'm so looking forward to having a driveway!

My temperature went up unpleasantly during the day, but it seems to have dropped a little. Still too high for my liking

The pulse oximeter is showing 98% though

Better try to get some sleep and hope for the best tomorrow

Goodnight all

Gosh. Snapped off inlet manifold bolts. Used a TIG welder to a) heat up said bolt and b) add some metal so he could grip the bolt & wind it out of the head, the heat (which would have been considerable) having broken the bond between the bolt & the head.

Reminded me of the bodge I did on the inlet manifold of my Ford Zodiac Mk IV back in 1976. .

Morning all
CBS, etc.

Trip to Lyme Regis yesterday involved the usual sampling of rums and gins in the "Seriously Good Wine Co" (Out of date website, but great shop). They've launched their own rum and while The Wife^TM was in some other shop, me and The Dog^TW were inside. When The Wife^TM asked if I was ready to go, I pointed out that it was father's day and that The Dog^TW was thinking about buying me a bottle of rum. Clever dog.

The evening's televisual entertainment was "A Small Favour", which almost got turned off after a few minutes, but was worth sticking through to the end.

Morning all

Blue sky with some wispy fluff. Currently 16 degrees with a high of 21 expected. Barometer up to 1019 mBar.

As the bed had been changed yesterday (which I omitted from my reports), it's now bed linen wash day. Ordinarily I'd have done that yesterday but I was out. I decided in my wisdom last night to put the first load on a delayed start timer. Once again I forgot that the timer is relative to when the cycle is due to finish, not due to start, so I was woken at 0645 by the WM going into its first of many spin cycles. The first load was therefore done and hung up by 0720 and I went back to bed for an hour.

The pillow cases are now in the WM.

It can show up within two days. And I tested negative immediately before setting off on Thursday morning…

Also, I hadn't been anywhere else that I recall earlier in the week, like in shops or what have you.

My friend's husband has just tested positive with the faintest of faint lines on the test strip apparently. I'm not symptomatic but will do a test later just in case. As HWMBO and I spent a reasonable amount of time with them over the weekend, I'm hoping my lucky streak isn't broken.
