Wednesday

 Good morning, everyone.  What a gloriously sunny day it was yesterday and today's forecast looks positive too.  It's not so warm and there's a bit of a frost right now but that's OK, it is only March, after all.

I have a few more photos from the weekend to share.  Outside the bungalows, there were some very nice displays of bulbs, pretty much all miniature types, in raised beds.  Here's a few . . . they were so pretty.

I seem to have acquired a cold from someone over the weekend, waking up yesterday with some aches and pains (which could have been exercise based) that developed into a very sore throat and a bit of a cough.  At least, I hoped it was a cold but a couple of people in the Potters' group sent messages to the Facebook group yesterday, saying that they had just tested positive to Covid.  Obviously, I tested straight away and it was negative.  The aches have gone but the sore throat is still here so I tested again this morning and it is still negative.  I've taken some pain killers and the throat is easier; I just don't have much of a voice!  :-)
I'll keep testing!!

Before I heard about the others in the Potters' group, I had popped out to Sainsbury's to do some shopping and top up with petrol.  The bank account has taken a battering but at least, if I do have to isolate, I'm well topped up.

The rest of the day continued as planned.  I got three loads of washing done, dried on the line in the sunshine and ironed.  It's aired overnight so this morning I can put it all away.  Ironing line-dried fabric is so pleasant - a lovely fresh smell and it smooths out so easily.  I was feeling quite zonked so took things quite easy, reading, cross stitching and watching telly (and ironing!!!)

Today I had planned to go to Lindsey's Wednesday group circuit class because I was still driving home on Monday.  However, given the situation, even though I am testing negative, I think it would be better for me to access the class online, if possible (it usually is) - some of the Wednesday group were at Potters and probably wouldn't appreciate any germ laden people turning up, whether positive or negative.
I was then going back this afternoon for personal training and have asked Lindsey for advice.  If she'd rather do it online again, that's fine and, obviously, I will test again before I would set out anyway.

Apart from the above, whether it be online or in Lindsey's studio, I don't have much else planned.  No washing, the house is still in a reasonable state, I'm starting the allotment work next week (weather permitting) and so I may as well continue to chill anyway.  I haven't caught up with the final of Throw Down (although I do know who won - no surprises there) so I have that to look forward to.

I hope you/we all have a lovely day without too many hassles.  Take care and stay safe.  xx
