Happy fan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, it’s not getting much warmer, although it’s a mite chillier in Ontario: David has just FaceTimed with huge amounts of snow in the background. None of that here, but we’re getting some sun, and today I noticed that the afternoons were getting longer, as far as the light is concerned. I went out for a walk too, up to the Rosary, after Dot had done an earlier solo walk down by the river, to buy a new bobble hat from the Carrow Road shop to commemorate Norwich’s recent win over Everton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While she was doing that I was e-consulting my surgery, and am now expecting ca all from them some time on Friday, because I threatened to stop taking my beta blockers, which I suspect are making me cold and achy. I also rang up Autoglass, who are coming to fix my car windscreen on Wednesday. Before doing my e-consult I also did another lateral flow test, just in case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our vicar now has Covid, though mildly. He posted on Facebook warning people to test every day, because he had had several negative tests before getting his positive one. I guess that’s fine if you’re determined to get it. Worrying how many people thought that was a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, last Thursday was sunny and cold. In the afternoon Sean came round to try out an old cassette on our machine, but it was quite muffled. As a result I played a very clear The Lion and Albert<\/em> to Bridget, who came round to clean, and David, who came to pick her up. In the evening we watched a new series of The Bay<\/em>, and Screw<\/em>, a very good series set in a prison. Excellent characters.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday was very cold, but sunny. Had a haircut in morning, followed by a bath. Felt quite ill most of the afternoon: stomach felt wrong, shivery and my head was swimmy, with lots of popping. Took paracetamol, which helped a bit. Dot thought it was the beta blocker, but I wasn’t so sure. However, I’m now giving it a shot. Anne came round for a couple of hours, then I went out for drinks on the street while Dot went to Morrisons. Des brought her fish and chips: I had kipper and leeks. Watched the film Rita, Sue and Bob too<\/em>, which was funny but quite odd: think I liked it more than Dot did. Then Death in Paradise.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Felt rotten on Saturday morning after a bad night and took a Covid test, but it was negative. Went back to bed and got a little more sleep while Dot practised violin. After lunch she went to the match with Matt and Amanda: Norwich beat Everton 2-1. After doing a number of things, I had a bath. In the evening was well enough to go for a meal with Des and Chris \u2013 curry-centric. Very nice too. Felt full and tired, but much better than earlier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday was very cold but dry. Not walking weather, especially as I still don\u2019t feel right (though not as bad as Friday). Went to church in the morning, and I gave a sermon I did almost exactly 20 years ago. Well received. Dennis, a new member of the congregation, then gave a mini-sermon during news time. Carrie was leading. Only 13 there. Had longish FT with David in the afternoon, mainly on politics. Suggested he wrote a book. Glad to hear that Amy is apparently much better. Watched a lot of TV, including football, The Green Planet<\/em>, Around the World in 80 Days<\/em> (which is brilliant) and Vera<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
