We took Madeline into town on Monday afternoon. She went into her first music shop, I showed her the maps in WH Smiths and her Granny's book but she slept through it all.We tried to get some lateral flow tests in town as they have run out on the government website but they also had in the two places we tried. An annoying woman, not wearing a mask got into the lift with us in John Lewis even though she was going up and we went down. I'll come along for the ride she said. It didn't go down well. Heard that John's lad James and Rick's lad Nick have both got covid. Went for a ride on Tuesday with Kelvin, Andy and Stuart. Had a couple of pints in The Black Horse. When I got back found out the washing machine had packed in and a new one ordered. Popped into town early on Wednesday to try to get some lateral flow tests but couldn't. Heard Saturday's 150th anniversary game againt Luton is off because of covid. Went to The Reading Twilight Trail in the evening. It was pretty good.It was inThe Forbury Gardens and abbey ruins. Managed to get 2 packs of LFTs at the test centre in the town hall on the way back. Amy cooked a great rice noodle stir fry. Lynda C emailed to see if we still wanted to go ahead wirh Monday's drinks because of covid. Said I'd rather not. A record number of cases was reported today. It turns out Nick Kay doesn't have covid but James Clift wife does. Madeline in a new green outfit on Thursday morning playing computer games with her dad.
James and Amy spent most of the morning getting temporary registration with a GP in the hope they can get a booster jab in England even though they already have them booked in Scotland in January. Heard that Lynda Murphy has had covid. She thought she had a cold but tested positive. Went for a walk up at the uni in the afternoon. We had a new washing machine delivered on Friday. We posponed our meal with Bren, Lynda and Kelvin until after Christmas. Cooked yorkshire puddings but they stuck. Went out for a walk on Saturday afternoon and dropped Sally's secret santa presents off at the Wises. Tom arrived later in the afternoon. He went out for a pint later with PJ in the garden if The Allied Arms so fairly safe. We took Madeline into town on Sunday afternoon. Tom played frisbee golf with PJ then they went to the pub to watch footy. Hope that was OK covid wise. Cooked slow roast lamb in the evening. The meal we were meant to have with Bren and Lynda.
