Illness, covid 

@marramgrass better but still not 100%. It’s why I’m still insisting that the family test when they’re feeling unwell. It’s bad enough for one person to be sick, but no point in letting the entire family succumb.

@marramgrass it’s been a pain. I feel like I’ve lost 4 weeks. A week to Fiona being ill, a week to me being ill, and two weeks of feeling completely wiped out post testing negative.

@marramgrass if I wasn’t one of the seven, you can include me. Couple of weeks ago now, but Fiona and I have both had it recently.

Still, leaves me a whole summer of licking anybody’s ice cream I want without worry so much about catching Covid again 😜

@GrantMeStrength I’m convinced that all software instinctively knows that if a word begins with those 4 letters then it will be truncated as “anal…”

@seanddotmedotuk @augieray it also took my wife at least 6 days to test negative. She had it the week before me, but I don’t think she tested early enough for proper isolation and I ended up getting infected.

@augieray @seanddotmedotuk this is my 3rd infection, and it definitely feels worse than the 2nd time, but on a par with the 1st. I’ve somehow managed to catch it in June one year, August the next, and July this year. In all honesty though, I don’t think I’ve ever fully recovered since the first one. Could just be advancing years, but I’ve never physically felt the same since.

@seanddotmedotuk @augieray I was testing positive from Monday 1st until Sunday 7th and was unwell for a while before testing positive. I’m still completely wrecked by it.

@Tapi @twostraws the Guinness brewery is just okay. You get to walk around and look at stuff, whereas Bushmills is a proper tour with really nice and knowledgeable guides 🙂

@twostraws @Tapi excellent! The place smells amazing. I actually don’t like whiskey, but the smell of the whiskey distillery is beautiful! I’ll be near there in a couple of days for my holidays; I’ll be sticking to Guinness though!

@Tapi @twostraws come to Northern Ireland and I’ll take you to the distillery tour. It’s a really good experience!

@chrisphin I remember being heartbroken the day my daughter told me she loved being in the sea with me, but that she hated not being able to see the waves coming. The day she started wearing prescription goggles and was able to completely lose herself in the fun was an amazing one.

@natural20 showing your age with “Landsdown Road stadium” 😜

@jsnell this is going to be great on my 5 hour drive to see them play next weekend!

@lexfri it’s tough to be a female mime, needing to break through that glass ceiling

@bazscott Sorry, we do use AirBnB. What I want though is an AirBnB-like system that can charge equitable rates. The wealthy should have to pay a lot to stay in our house, the less well-off should have to pay a token amount.
