Not a cloud in the sky today, would have been a lovely commute, fell out of bed with Covid trying to feel OK this morning - seemed to hit my chest yesterday evening - rifled through the 'drugs' box and found some decongestant. Seems more like a clogged up stinky cold with me. Breathing OK so might risk 'self service' at the supermarket (I won't breath on anyone) for more drugs as we're out of ibuprofen - alternating paracetamol and ibuprofen. Moved a few meetings to Teams !

I also need to get my wife some flowers as it's 20 years since her brother died of a brain tumour ! That's most important, covid or not.

Enough time for a slightly longer commute if I'm quick...

And what's truly bonkers is that apparently the Republicans are looking at impeaching him...

(according to the BBC)

Not if they do not get control of the Senate. Results still coming in, but not looking like the big win Republicans needed to stay relevant.

Why is the name Skoda now being pronounced Shkoda ? Has Sean Connery been giving elocution lessons ?

Always the way I heard it, but I lived in a neighborhood with a large Czech/American population.
