Wot? No blog?

With apologies, folks, but I am not blogging much this evening. I am experiencing the after-effects of the ‘jab’ and have had a headache all day. John seems unaffected apart from a sore arm, so I am quite jealous.

I stayed in bed feeling sorry for myself until lunch-time then, chiding myself for being a ‘wuss’, got up and thought I might do a few bits and bobs. But I didn’t, I sat on the sofa, bleary-eyed and inert. I brightened up a little bit when Andrew phoned and I chatted to him to for maybe half an hour but, in the end I passed the phone to John and lay down on the sofa again with a pounding headache.

John, on the other hand, has been on good form. He was sorting out monetary stuff for a while and then had a hand or two of poker, before he cooked something for our tea. I brightened up a little after we’d eaten to speak to Michael, but didn’t feel great so cut the conversation short.

This evening, we had a good time ‘Zooming’ in with John’s Uni friends, by which time the paracetamol had worked sufficiently for me make a contribution or two. John, as I said, was on top form, and got everyone giggling at some of the things he said. We were sorry to hear that within Kelv’s family there is COVID and they were unable to join us today, so we’re sending much love and all good thoughts over to them.

• 19,114 people tested positive for the virus today
• 1,014 people died in the community with it today
• 350 people died in hospitals on 3 & 4 February

So that’s it. Hopefully normal service will be resumed tomorrow.

God bless. Stay safe.
