I've now had a text from track and trace on work phone. It's legal now! 10 days off work from day after contact day. To be followed by two weeks holiday. There's a positive there I think. At least I'm not going to contact anyone who's positive now. It kind of secures trouble free holiday. My partner works from home and we don't really have much contact with me anyone normally. Low risk really except for me going to work during the week.
The chances I've caught it from him are very low. I was in and out of the room a few times so no continuous 15 minutes contact. When in the room with him I was over a metre away. I felt antisocial like he smelt bad or I did keeping back like that but these days it's what you have to do. 4 days after contact LF test negative. PCR test just arrived. I'm certain it'll be negative.
I've just got to think of it as an extra few days holidays for free!! Plus I've just sent OH off for some things I need. She joked about having a few hours in Kendal laughing because I can't, so I have her a long list of stuff to get for me. Wiped the smirk off her face. Lol. Mind you she wiped my smirk off by telling me she's got a long list of jobs for me.
It's no longer curmudgeonly this positivity, is it?
According to Robert Rinder in today's paper, isolation is a suggestion not a legal requirement,after being pinged.Jeremy Clarkson says he read in The Times,how non eco friendly electric cars really are,or not actually. Dove do you hold the beer glass in your feet then?
Here's how to do it @Nanny Beach ... best to practice in a proper pub that has no carpets ... take a good solid pint glass (not one with a handle or one of the new thin glass ones) and get someone else to fill it with Adnams bitter and put it on the table in front of you ... put your hands behind your back, bend over and grip the edge of the glass closest to you between your teeth as far down the glass as you can manage. Carefully start to drink as you begin to straighten up ... keep drinking and eventually you can tip your head back and drain the glass.
Unless you're able to 'down a pint in one' it's best to practice that first .......... you see , it takes years of devoted application and skill .........
It didn't half impress the young art students when this 40+ year old mature female student did that in the Students Bar at the beginning of Freshers' Week ....... start as you mean to go on and set the bar high is what I always say That's the way to earn the respect of staff and students ... 👍🍺

I'll be mowing my front lawn tomorrow. It's not been growing much because of the toing and froing with the stump removal. I reseeded the part near the stump border and tried to remake the lawn edge with some flimsy edging strip from my parents. The seeded part is now a luscious green but the rest is a brown green disappointment.
My annoyance with the seed is that it didn't take at all for the first inch and half from the edging strip. What's that about? We watered it whenever it wasn't raining. It's not dried out any more than the rest. I simply cannot think of any way around it other than cutting the lawn back by that inch and half.
Then there's the issue of a two tone lawn. The new grass is good but the old isn't. Should I reseed the whole lawn with a light sprinkling of seed? Not a full reseed just add a bit. It's annoying how it's grown.
Late spring, spotted some gladioli on sale and was tempted. Now I really don't like Dame Edna glads but these were pictured as having orange, yellow and cream spikes of gaudiness so perfect for the hotter end of my new bed. Planted them up in an old window box and grew them on till the bed prep was done and then planted out the very healthy young plants in mid June.
They have just started to flower at last and are bright pink!
As we are not in psychedelic 70s mode they are all wrong next to the burnt oranges of gazanias and marigolds and the hot reds of hemerocallis and salvias. Can't move them safely till autumn either so will have to lump it. Humph.

We have had heavy cloud and sticky conditions all day , thunder rolling round since late lunchtime. Rain? Hardly enough to fill a saucer let alone a cup grr.
