A Family Affair........

 
I'm not sure how much I'll write here this week, covid is making me feel like a full on head cold with the constantly runny nose and annoying cough, and the heat here is certainly making it worse allowing very little proper restful sleep. Of course Hubby has tested positive now too, inevitable eh? Our lovely neighbour-friendA is shopping for essential supplies of paracetamol, tissues and gallons of fizzy water.

Lots of advice on social media of cooling tactics. Read that ice packs up high help to cool the hot air that rises so cooler air falls. Sunday night put bottles of water in the freezer and Monday morning hung them. Of course Monday was a cooler much less sunny day so it's hard to tell if it's effective and there was quite a bit of dripping on the carpet. 

Monday morning the neighbours had coffee morning in the shade of our tree but of course we didn't go out. Heard afterwards there were none from number 22 as they have covid too! Late Monday afternoon we got a call from Daughter to say her and O are leaving Tudor Kentwell and coming to stay as they are positive now too, so we are now the isolation hotel keeping her house germ free for R while she is still performing. Time for a full Tesco delivery. 

Wednesday gave us a little excitement and something to talk about when it rained. Daughter feels better when she's outside so she has been practising her club juggling. O had spent a lot of time outside filming himself and then even longer inside editing. We had a premier showing of his finished sketch which was brilliant. 

O was a bit bored and went hunting through lounge cupboards and drawers, then he finally told me he wondered if I had an 80s/90s camcorder. Actually I have and told him where it is, that's it on the floor in front of the TV. With granddad's help the two of them sorted out the bag and worked out what tapes, cables etc we had, got it all charged up, practiced how to use it and O went filming. Of course it took just as long again to try all our current equipment to work a way of getting it from camcorder to digital form on Os computer so he could edit. 

Thursday evening all four of us did the quiz, which was a bit reminiscent of our lockdown days. 

Friday the dog decided I was her favourite and pinned me to the chair for a lot of the day. 

So that's about it really. The week has ended with O and Hubby feeling totally fine now, Daughter mostly better but still hasn't got her taste back and inconveniently I'm still blowing my nose and coughing all day, gotta pass soon eh? 

Hope you've had a better week.
