Plague continues

[lnr]

Have now been essentially home for 11 days, and beginning to struggle with what day it is. Hope you've all had a good weekend anyway!

Matthew is now out of quarantine, and I've bent it far enough to walk with him to school today to collect our bikes and ride them back. (Quiet route, no spending more than a second within 2m of people, FFP3 mask). I mean that's not against the current rules at all anyway, but still - it feels a bit dodgy. No way I'm going indoors with anyone else until at least Wednesday, as I've not tested out of quarantine today.

Mike had a couple of really bad days, but is much improved and now just snotty/coughing/really tired.

We're now all on holiday for the next few days, though it won't be quite what we had planned. We should be in Cromer, and I'm sad we're not, but we're muddling along playing lots of Terraria and some Carcassone and watching lots and lots of films. Mike may or may not be back to work on Thursday, we'll have to see how it goes.

Just so thankful we didn't give it to mum and dad!

I hope you are all better soon.

Thanks, we're all improving, and I'm feeling pretty much back to normal 10 days on! Looking forward to tomorrow's freedom.

Glad to hear it.

Wow, I think I missed the news on that one - glad things are going the right way, though.

The timing is so so frustrating, or we'd have a vaccination for Matthew booked for this week! Now we'll have to wait until June, but hopefully we'll all get some improved immunity from this mild dose, and I'm glad it wasn't worse!

I'm really thankful that NZ is so much better at this than us!

Yes, L is in the same boat -- could have been vaxxed this week if he hadn't already caught it a fortnight ago!

Hope you're on all properly on the mend soon -- definitely worth continuing to take it easy for a while though as consensus is increasing that that's protection re long covid (as are vax, of course).

Argh, much sympathy to you and L too. It's *so* irritating, when there was no good reason to wait until the Easter Hols in the first place.

I'm taking extra vitamins and definitely going to be careful no to overdo things.
