Do hope you feel better soon @Pat E, that's such a nuisance after all your precautions. In a strange way, we were relieved when we both caught it at last back in March and fortunately only had it very mild.
It's raining and not very conducive to gardening so glad I got my usual walk in earlier and OH has done his.
Just tried to eat one of our pears which was supposed to be ripening - nearly broke my front teeth on it! Don't think they'll be very good this year again.
I'm debating whether to recycle my non stick frypan which is now minus it's handle as a bird bath - any reasons why that might not be a good idea? It's a perfect shape.
@Pat E hope the anti viral work well for you. So far as we know we've never had it but we are not complacent. Got into the garden and tackled a large clump of Iris sibirica, it had done the classic and spread out with a bare patch in the middle. It put up quite a fight but I got it done just before the rain came in earnest. I have potted up a couple of smaller bits as well as replanting but I am afraid most of it ended up in the green bin. Plenty to go round if anyone wants some but you'll have to be quick as the bins get emptied first thing in the morning. 😅
Hello all … we are here at the cottage … OH is unpacking while I try to disengage ‘driving mode’ in my brain. When we’ve sorted ourselves out we’ll go out and find some fish and chips 😋 Get we’ll soon @Pat E … OH’s mum said the headache was the worst bit. She was feeling ok after a week .,, it just took her a bit longer to stop feeling tired, so don’t overdo it. 🤗
It was lovely to see @Hostafan1 … he has acquired an impressive suntan … even if we didn’t see (quite) all of it 😎

Glad you got safely there @Dovefromabove, enjoy your holiday. St Ives area is a lovely place, we used to holiday in a caravan nearby when I was a child, so fond memories.
There’s always stuff to see and do in St Ives, whatever the weather. It’s one of the reasons we’ve been coming here for yonks … and there’s always sunshine coming along dreckly 😉

I hope you have a lovely time @Dovefromabove, but I'm sure you will.
It's been a sunny day. I harvested my 3 butternut squashes and pulled up the 2 plants, too late for any more to ripen and I won't be here anyway. I tidied up the grapevine which had gone a bit mad. Rain forecast tomorrow.

Cool and misty start here too, been catching up on emails must get in the garden rain forecast for later.
I hope you only have a mild dose @PatE.
I had to go out to get some bits and pieces this morning. Must get on with stuff in the garden. It's sunny.

Lucky you @chicky, I'm dead jealous!
