No 1 son's partner has tested positive on an LFT. Both going for PCRs tomorrow. Somehow I don't think they'll be here for Christmas.

They've already had Covid and are double jabbed.

Hold Christmas in the New Year if they were due to visit/you were to visit.

Here's hoping PCR's are negative.

Evening folks just filled in my fuel support application £180 well thats better than a poke in the eye think i'll go and buy a better lock for my precious ...not out of the 180 squids of course theyre totally not related....
Re- blessed day wishing...never really bothers me, its there problem not mine, I just say "okey doke"

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Never heard of the blessed day thing. Not something that would bother me.

I really hate it it when someone in a store tells me to have a blessed day. How dare they tell me what kind of day to have.
I said that because I was thinking what a blessed bike ride I had today. It is ok to tell myself what kind of day, though. Went from -6C to 39 C. No wind until after I got home. Very nice.
Be safe and well

Only ever heard that expression in The Handmaid's Tale

I knew I'd heard that somewhere, but couldn't work out where, thank you

The oldies are the best, from my Facebook page, lol.

Thanks for your replies. I am prolly too sensitive.

Went from -6C to 39 C.

That can't be right! Just wondering what it should have been?

I just got an email from my pal who is over in Texas for a few months. [Correction] He said it has been a bit misty there today but 27 C forecast over Christmas.

 

[12boy]

You are correct.....it was 3.88 C or 39 F. I have to translate into metric and Celsius. Sorry...39C would be hot in the Dog Days of August.

Good morning all.
Early night and a good sleep....... feeling OKish. Hopefully this coffee will do its job.

 

[Dave7]

BTW......that made me 1st apart from Colin and 12boy but they don't count as its still yesterday to them

Morning. Took a while to get to sleep but eventually nodded off and have had what’s a long lie for me.

Think I’ll head up the hill walk this morning. Should just about be able to see where I’m going without the head torch by the time I reach the start of the trail. Not sure there will be much in the way of views though as it’s still pretty overcast.

Hello! I haven't looked outside yet. Bed at 9.30pm and slept till 6.00am 👍

Granddaughter today and she is sleeping over tonight. Her first night away from Mum and Dad. Her nursery is closed tomorrow and both have to work. It's going to be fun.

Mrs P is still struggling with a cough. When she gets a coughing fit it just wipes her out.

Nothing else really. Stay safe.

@Drago hoping all is OK? 🤞

 

[PaulSB]

Oh yes, enjoyed this one.

Good morning folks, interesting minor central heating problem here, central heating set to manual, on a Monday night, and only on a Monday I'll switch the heating off when I go to bed and it'll switch itself back on during the night . I think I'll have to investigate the battery in the control unit.
