Sunday night Halloween dinner here as Daughter back late from Kentwell and collecting R and the dog anyway, plus O enjoys being the one to hand out the sweets to the trick-or-treaters. No pumpkins carved this year but R and O did decorate outside and our table. No special spooky recipes this year either just these dumpling skulls (which look a bit more like mummy heads than skulls) as requested by O, they topped the swampy veg casserole to go with a table full of normal stuff.
The dog went home Sunday night and was back again Tuesday as O wanted to go to the HE roller skating session at Bury St Edmunds which left nobody at home!
She was supposed to come back Thursday as Emma and O had planned a day in London, however on Wednesday M had to go for a PCR test as he'd had a couple of positive home tests. So everyone in their house is playing safe and are staying home. They were all here Sunday and two of them again Tuesday so Hubby and I did LFTs and they were both negative.
M had a positive PCR. Daughter, R and O had negative LFTs, then O had a positive LFT on Thursday, so the three of them went for PCRs and the girls were negative but sadly O was positive. Daughter had a track and trace chap on the phone for 40 mins asking every possible detail more than once and because we had contact with them recently our details were given. Daughter phoned to warn us. Then very soon afterwards Hubby and I both got texts and had to fill out online forms and book tests for Saturday morning.
We've just got back, that was efficient but horrible of course.
And really there's nothing else to report on. I've been slowly re-patching some very worn bits on my patchwork peg bag. Another huge amount of soft toys landed here that all need to go through the washing/ drying/ brushing up process. Plus the Christmas cards and list are ready for me to start writing, always a daunting prospect but fine once I get started.
Enjoy the weekend, and hope any fireworks are a pleasure not a problem.
