Coronavirus - Sunday 15th May 2022

Eventually got off to sleep about 2 on Monday morning I think. Remember waking up about 5 then slept though til 8. Woke up quite sweaty but feeling OK apart from really bad sore throat. Ibuprofen seemed to sort that out though. M had a bad night as well. She went to bed before me, got off OK but then woke about 1 and felt as though she hadn't got off again. I could hear her coughing. She's sleeping in Tom's old room at the moment. We got extra supplies of Ibuprofen via the street WhatsApp group. Saw the bees do their annual swarm in the afternoon. Not sure where they went. Had a really good nights sleep and woke on Tuesday feeling a lot better. Spent the afternoon reading in the garden but also rigged up the camera on the mealworm feeder and kept an eye out for visitors. These are the best couple of shots.



Got a video call from Madeline later. Played guitar in the evening and had the first alcohol free day for a long time. Another good nights sleep. Did a test on Wednesday morning but still +ve.
I've realised I've more or less lost my senses of smell and taste. Last night we had salmon with pesto and I remember thinking it didn't taste of much. Then at lunchtime today I finished off a bit of soup which didn't taste of much either. I could taste marmite on toast though. M asked me to smell a rose in the garden and it had no smell and I couldn't smell the smoked haddock or taste much of the fish pie I made for tea. It's not putting me off my food though and odd I've only just noticed it. Ian and Fran called to see if we're still going at the weekend. Agreed we'd go if we both test -ve tomorrow and Friday. Tested +ve again on Thursday morning so we wont be going to Sheffield. Even worse, for some reason there's no online cryptic in the Guardian. Sat in the garden, took a few more bird photos, played guitar. Same on Friday.


A slight variation on Saturday. Watched the FA cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea. 0 0 after extra time Liverpool won on penalties. Same as the mickey mouse cup final. Watched Eurovision in the evening which was surprisingly good. Even more surprising that the UK won on the jury vote. Once the public vote came in though we ended up second to Ukraine. A good start to the day on Sunday with a long lie in. Did and another test but I'm still +ve. Tried to report the result but the application didn't like the test id, ACAG23244143.
