Boy has finalised his house purchase in a cash deal, something his parents were never able to do so good luck to him.

Little does he yet know it but a weekend countryside retreat for his parents

That was Mexico, his purchase is a lot closer to his home

Yesterday, me and my other half (anonymity protected) rescued a retired Greyhound from a greyhound charity near Canterbury in Kent. His name is Ziggy, he's 5 years old and this is his first time of being in a home. He's settling in well and pays no attention to the cat. He hasn't figured out how mirrors work and bumps his head against them trying to get into the next bit of room. He'll do just fine.

Nice one...I grew up all my life with greyhounds and the dilemma was often what to do with them after their racing days were past them. Not all could become household pets.

My presence here is likely to be very patchy now that Covid has finally caught up with me - we'd been trying to do the right thing for our disabled son by getting him to his special social/educational group at the college but after having my car smashed from under me recently by some idiot, we've had to use public transport (a joke in Lincolnshire) and taxis - which has exposed us to even more risk
I feel fine, but if you read the literature then I'm one of those who should be considered half-dead already and in need of special care. Well I just walked five miles back home from the mother in law's place to avoid exposing anyone else to my diseased presence - and I didn't even feel the need for a sit-down when I got here. But a positive result is still positive, so we're not sure where we'll be living over the next week or so; the boy's got it, bless him, but Moira came up negative despite having all the symptoms (have to re-test her I think)

Thanks, guys - I'm now running a kind of decrepit collection and delivery service on my bike (just 1/2 hour from the mother in law's place now I've got my bike) - Moira tested positive this morning so it's a hat trick - I don't like loose ends

@Glynn Oh man, I wish you a speedy recovery and a soon-to-be-negative test. I still would not push too hard physical work-wise, even if you feel fine.
All the best !

I‘m in a meeting with marketing and PR people.
I hate meetings, because they consume a lot of time for little gain. There are few things I hate even more than meetings, but marketing people and PR people definitely are among them. Hopefully your Monday starts better than mine |
