Morning. We have rain but mild. Different story tonight though when it’s to be clear and maybe get down as low as 2 degrees.

Today’s excitement is the green general waste bin. :laugh:

How exciting.....its our general waste tonight. I do it at night as they have been know to collect at 0630.
AND.......our general waste bin is black. Green for us is garden waste which makes sense to me.

Apparently its going to start raining 🌧 in the next hour, or sooner :laugh:

Not a lot on today. Got problems with 2 radiators which refuse to heat up (one of them is just a few weeks old). Have to get them sorted asap.

Do they have bleed valves? Maybe just air locked?

Gosh, it's very mild out. I had a mix of jogging and walking and got a tad sweaty. Not long out of the bath but need to cool down a bit before having my breakfast.

I am no expert but think its the thermostatic valve. Reason being, one gets slightly warm all over. On the new one it took 2 hours to heat up.

Good morning folks, quite a restless night as the dreaded Covid made its presence known. I was lying in bed wearing jim jams, thick woollen hiking socks and my dressing gown with my feet on a hot water bottle and I was still shivering. Never one to miss an opportunity I started analysing what was triggering the coughing fits and trying out various things. After a while I realised that a particular breathing technique would really help and finally drifted off to sleep in the early hours.
Very impressed with the response from the NHS. I reported my positive test using the online website, it remembers my details so it was simply a matter of clicking my way through the screens and ticking the " Positive " test result instead of the usual " Negative " one. I received a text message and an Email within a few minutes asking me to confirm that I had indeed tested positive and saying that a Doctor would be in touch within 24 Hours. At lunchtime a Doctor from Poole hospital rang and had a chat and talked me through the new antiviral drugs he was going to prescribe. At teatime the Pharmacist at the hospital called me and had a further chat before informing me that they would send the drugs by taxi. They arrived about half an hour later and I was able to commence treatment last night.
Mrs Tenkaykev is still struggling, people have been wonderful with offers of shopping, bringing meals around etc.
I've knocked up a spreadsheet on paper with details of symptoms, diet, and any side effects / interactions as they are keen to get feedback on what is a relatively new medicine ( Paxlovid )
Meanwhile the sun is shining and I will sit in the garden with a coffee and a book.
Have a peaceful day folks 👍☕️☀️

Barnet,
Good morning all.
It started off sunny, but is now clouding over. Rain is on it's way:rain:.
I took Harry, our big tabby cat to the vet this morning. He is having a heart scan, the Vet. Picked up on a problem last time he saw him. He is also having his booster jabs at the same time.
Tonight I am off to White Hart Lane, or the Spurs Stadium as it is now known. The supporters still call it by it's former name. Spurs v Entracht Frankfurt, 8 pm. ko.
Enjoy your day everyone :cuppa:
