Jenn and Russ left on the 16th to head for a few days at the Edinburgh Fringe, and the next day we took the car to Inverness for a software update and a couple of minor repairs under warranty. We met Alison and Hugh for lunch while we were there, and enjoyed catching up on each others’ news.
By the weekend, James started to feel under the weather. He had cold symptoms and nausea; he felt quite ill. We happened to have one Covid test left in the cottage from last year; it was still well within its sell by date so James tested and indeed he did have Covid for his second time. We wondered if Russell might possibly have had Covid because the current strain seems to include gastric symptoms, and James felt a bit sick at the start. We will never know. Unusually, James spent the next day in bed, and even after he started to feel better he was very tired. A couple of days later I started to develop the same symptoms and felt suitably sorry for myself. We didn’t have another test but I assumed that I had Covid too and isolated myself accordingly.
So our last week has been very quiet, we have stayed close to the cottage with our kitties and because of the Covid we unfortunately had to cancel planned visits by Christine and Gerry and by Maud and David.
To look on the bright side, the weather continued to be delightful, in defiance of the weather forecast, and we were able to sit outside and go for walks, and we had some interesting chats about the future.
