Still slow. MrsF now has chest infection had a gap between covid then chest getting bad. Still wheezy for me. OK doing jobs, but if I rush about, I'm out of breath - still having the odd coughing fit.

This is why I take Covid seriously: I can end up like that with a normal cold.

Well, that was an entertaining game of football. I think the Aussies were bloody unlucky tbh - to take the game into extra time if nothing else. I'd have enjoyed another half an hour of that.

Anyways, lovely supper of soup, then ham hock in parsley sauce*, mashed potato and steamed carrots, sprouts and cauliflower.

* parsley from the garden - my two planters needed to be thinned out some.

Watching a program of Tommy Cooper’s best moments. He really was a geniuses and is timeless his biography is an interesting read.

Yet another cold, grey & breezy day in east Suffolk and it looks like it's set in for a few days. At least it didn't rain today which, when combined with the stiff breeze, ensured that the roads dried out and I was able to get out for a couple of hours on one of the good, non-mudguarded, bikes.

I am currently suffering from an overdose of sausages, baby potatoes and peas used as a recovery meal.

I will be going for my usual Christmas tree - one that's still planted in the ground. A long way away.

My son's take was a poor team propped up by Messi!

Makes me wonder if they'd actually be a better team without Messi...

I've made some DIY draught excluders using duck tape and bubble wrap to deal with the draught from the door between the sitting room and the hallway. It's a good degree warmer in here as a result. And on that note I'm heading off to bed.

Nunnight one and all xxx

I agree too many nice bikes in Kent and no reason to visit!

I saw 2 bikes that I was looking at in Kent and at cheap prices to elsewhere . They might not everyone wants to buy but I thought I would try going over to the Dark Side and try a kiddies bike ! That's a bike with a sloping crossbar and a huge seat post . A Carrera Virtuoso .
Is Dartford in Kent ? If it is that is where I went to with my brother to pick up his Planet X Holdsworth Tribute Cyclone . Now would I be jealous of him ?
Especially when he leaves me behind when we go out together.

Morning.
Georgie has brought one of his friends in . I left them playing together in the kitchen . I saw its tail once as they were playing hide and seek. It was a mouse .

 

[Illaveago]

We didn't know that Strychnine Come Dancing was on Friday! . We had a shock last night when they were about to do the knocky out bit!
We watched it on I Player .
We thought the bit on Friday was the discussion bit following the knock out .

 

[Illaveago]

Georgie hasn't caught the mouse. I set a humane trap near there so that it can hide in it if it gets past him .
