31.1

Well rather unexpectedly I tested positive for Covid this morning. I got to the end of Pilates last night and in the last 5 minutes I thought “ooo my nose feels a bit drippy” but I didn’t think much of it. This morning a very faint line told me otherwise.

Oh well. I don’t feel particularly poorly to be honest although I went back to bed this afternoon which helped.

Unfortunately, and rather to his surprise, Dad tested positive for Covid yesterday.

He had been at our house for tea yesterday so of course I have been pretty convinced all day that I probably have Covid. I have done 3 LFTs, all of which are negative and I am asymptomatic (apart from when I think to much about it!)

Wonder how long we can hold out for. It feels like the net is closing in! There is so many people off work and school so who knows how long we will stay negative for.

This has been my obsession for the last couple of weeks. Today we did twice the amount of tests just to see that we are clear. Fingers crossed we get to the PCR test at Heathrow – the weather looks awful tomorrow and a really nasty storm is predicted. I am really concerned that we might not make it to Kenya at this rate!

So, today was a different day involving home school for the kids and work for the adults. There are definitely some advantages of having a trained teacher in the house! We mostly muddled through and managed to do some work and some educational stuff. Far from perfect but all have survived… so far.

I have started a new challenge of my own – the Icicle Challenge. Swimming 10 days a month between now and March with some bonus points for extra swims and cold swims etc. Today I had a lovely swim on my own at the Bathing Pools. It was heavenly. Cold water swimming is definitely good for my health and wellbeing.

30.2The Mister and Tom went out to do Park Run this morning while I did a bit of cleaning and tidying in the house.

I managed to have a nice walk with sister and her dog and I saw these gorgeous pink flowers on my walk through the lanes. This afternoon I went for a fabulous swim with a friend at Rousse. The sea is still lovely – chilly but gorgeous.

The boys did more sorting in the garden, clearing up the leaves from the garden and sorting the garage.

The kids are doing ok but are really quite bored. Some lovely friends have dropped off a few treats for them. People have been so kind and have offered to help out in so many ways. We do appreciate it so very much.

28.3I woke this morning to this glorious view. The sunrise was heavenly and the cat was purring so loudly she woke me up.

Our morning lateral flow tests revealed that The Little Mister is also positive for Covid so he headed off for a PCR test which was, very obviously, positive. So, now we have all three children positive and all adults negative. I guess we will see just how effective the vaccinations really are in the house of Covid.

The kids have been pretty good all day – they have played loads of games and I picked up some more puzzles from the library and have spent quite a bit of time on the trampoline. How crazy they will be after 10 days I don’t know! The Mister and Tom also put up the shed – hurray! That means that we can do some sorting in the garage and make things a bit more useable.

As I am double vaccinated and symptom free I was able to go out so I went to town and bought some food and stocked up on the essentials… more lateral flow tests and large quantities of booze. We’ve got this!

So, this is what happened today. I received my first Covid vaccination.

I have to admit that I was really anxious about it as I have heard of people who have had really nasty side-effects but it was fine.

The whole thing was run amazingly well and we were in and out in no time. I just have to hope that the next vaccination is also a walk in the park!
