    I roped my younger daughter in to help with that thing @Liriodendron . She was getting very annoyed at me about it! She googled and searched but nothing worked. 
    We both had a virus of some kind a while ago - all very typical symptoms of Covid - headaches, tired, no taste/smell etc ,but tested negative. Perhaps it was though, and the tests weren't accurate. 

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Happy Birthday @Obelixx, bit of a bummer about the slipped disc though. Hope you recover soon. Horse pills sound good.

    Sorry @Obelixx, seems I wrote the above a few days ago but forgot to press the Post button!

  • I think @punkdoc said that LFTs give false negative results up to 60% of the time, @Fairygirl, so it's quite possible you had Covid.  My first 2 tests were negative though I was pretty sure I knew they shouldn't be... and on the third day I got a positive.
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Just watched the piece on BBC where Rob Burrow reads the bedtime story on Cbeebies. Along with the late Doddie Weir and so many others they are doing such fantastic work to help all those with MND. Have to admit it brought a lump to my throat, true heroes all of them.

    Yes, thank goodness for some common sense. It was a completely different scenario to illegal traffickers and thank goodness that was eventually taken into account, though it took far too long to come to that decision and so caused a lot of unnecessary damaging stress.
