Cold and damp but not raining and supposed to improve a bit. My right hip has suddenly started to give me grief as a bit painful. Something new every day.
Just got a somewhat sobering email from a relative living in Copenhagen. All sorts of aches and pains appearing like me as we have reached the age of repair. Covid has resurfaced there as well and travelling to Germany you have to get tested before being allowed over the border. They were doing really well but I think things were allowed to slip too soon. She sounds very depressed and thinks it unlikely she will ever see her home country again.

Morning everyone. My grandson got his test results back last night. He has Covid19. As he is in the high-risk group we will have to keep our fingers crossed.
Stay safe folks.
Hope he gets through it ok My granddaughter got hers this morning Negative
Morning all.
Welshie..... best wishes to you and yours.
On a positive note I ate quite well yesterday.
MrsD is still having problems. Badly constipated and anything she eats comes back up
. The normal solutions ie oranges with a cup of tea haven't worked so I am going to the chemist for some medication shortly.
The promised rain has not appeared so I may walk to the chemist.....that will give me 2 miles.

Might move back to the village I was born and grew up in. This street has gradually become noisier over the last few years and I love my peace and quiet.

Oh. I didn't think of you living in (what we call) a street. You are so close to open countryside that I imagined you in a small, quiet village.

Bore da pawb.
A bright and cold here today. Just been outside twitching. There has been an osprey here on the Inland Sea for about a week now.
Spotted it about about half a mile away scaring the living daylights out of the resident ducks and little egrets.

Got a phone call last week to say "the flush" had been carried out over night. I told them it hadn't or I would have heard it. They came out next night and did it.
Another phone call to say all tests were good ie all clear.
We are still drinking bottled water only though.
That might be the problem if you bought a crate of " Peckham Spring" 😁
