Well it’s now day 15 of the dreaded bug. No sleep last night hope at the back end of it now. Makes doing the daily job very hard work.
Mum has had it for 3 weeks. Just keeps recirculating. She gets better then goes worse again. I’m floored again this morning, had a day dressing turkeys yesterday and it’s taken every bit of energy I’d got 🤦🏻‍♂️

We have all had it for over two weeks now and just starting to come out the other side now so hopefully be able to enjoy Christmas lunch. Parents seemed to have escaped it but dad was coughing yesterday and they both now have bloody covid.

It certainly wipes the energy out of you. Just been strawing be feeding pigs and feel completely had it.

Yes I got it. Mass message to everyone I guess.

I got excited when I saw the red envelope lit up and thought it might be from someone that occasionally drops in on here but sadly not this time.
