Coronavirus and Rick's 70th - Sunday January 22nd 2023

Did a bit more rodent proofing on Monday by covering a rusted up underfloor air brick. Started making marmalade. Madeline had croup in the night so they took her to AnE where they treated her with a dose of steroid. She responded well and was much better on Tuesday morning and devoured some weetabix.
Finished off making the marmalade but it hasn't set. Checked the rodent trap under the kitched cupboard and it hadn't been tampered with so assumed they were just passing through and blocked up the hole. Did the Brewdog quiz in the evening with Michael and won both the quiz and the jackpot although the latter was only £93 as compared to £900 last time. The jackpot is all cash too. What are you meant to do with that these days? You can't even spend it there. Just keep it for haircuts I guess. One of the jackpot questions was how many US states begin with the letter M and I had learnt that the previous day in order to memorise all the states. It's 8. Woke up with a dodgy back on Wednesday so took things easy. M went up to London for an IHR (Institute of Historical Research) talk. We went swimming on Thursday. My back, knee and hamstring all survived the experience. Got some pectin in the shop so re-boiled the marmalade and this time it has set. Went for another swim in the afternoon. Drove up to Howden on Saturday for Rick's 70th. Stayed at the Wellington. The do was in the Shire Hall and Nick's band The Locals were playing but unfortunaley the drummer couldn't make as he had a cracked rib so Rick stepped in. A couple of his grandkids, Mable and Eve also sang songs.
Meanwhile Madeline wanted to go out.
Drove back on Sunday.
