Neg...

 Finally tested negative today (29/4/22). Still tired, bit of a cough (although this is alleviated by A's tea) and a daily sinus clear-out. 

Went to Market for cheque and saw a friend who has just had her 5th jab - she is imuno-suppressed. Oh, and she has recently had covid. She is hopping her resistance is now sky high.

Strawberries and stray emails

A is feeling a bit off so they didn't come to the plot today. I tied up the tomatoes that the wind had blown down and did a bit of weeding. The old shed end has fallen on the asparagus bed but it was too heavy for me to lift - will take two! The water butt by the door is full, so hopeful the well is too. Picked a few strawberries. P. collected me. Saw a 5-spot yellow ladybird, a lilac (or maybe grey) long bug with apricot (or orange) spots in 2 lines down its back. After some research, it could be a ladybird larva. We went out earlier to Helen's, to collect face masks she had made. Lots of choice and came home with 3 instead of four - idiot! She is looking well and pragmatic about her health. While I was at the plot P went to the tip (an hour and a half today - chap said last week was quick because everyone was at the beach. Probably why the R rate is back up to 1.) Also got some milk and spuds for tomorrow. Still windy, but the sun is trying hard. Confusing emails f...

Is it worth it?

There was a social-distanced meeting in Rosemary's garage this morning. Rain was heaving down, but at least the thunder and lightening seems to have passed over. Still muggy, a breath of fresh air would be nice. Market meeting was to decide how we should do a re-opening. So much faff! What with perspex screen for the cashier, card reader for cashless payments, ways to clean and sterilise - so much to consider, not sure it will be worth all that effort! Oh, and we will have to increase percentage to 12 to cover extra costs. Thankfully, others are investigating the important stuff - all I have to do is buy cheap kitchen roll. Now it is Friday. P bought tomatoes from Costco for me so we went to West Kirby for apples, basil etc to make tomato+basil dip. Have mint in the garden so trying to come up with something to use it. Current thinking is tomato, crab apple juice (in freezer), mint, grated root ginger. Maybe a touch of chilli for bite, maybe cucumber for coulth. Have done a f...

All or nothing?

 They are talking about the 19th July - well, it started as talking but now it is beginning to sound more like arguing. Should all restrictions go? or be more cautious and add another stage to 'normality'? I, for one, am not going to be leaving my face covering at home any time soon. Sanitiser will still be in my pocket, windows on trains etc will still be opened and if a lift looks crowded, I will get out and wait for the next one.  A matrix sign has the message -Be patient, be kind, be safe. Sounds like a plan for life.
