A Post

 I have covid. Tested positive a week ago. Still positive. A positive person, as my daughter says. Had a few days of flu symptoms, took it easy, and am still doing so. Good excuse. It's hot and I'm bothered.


I feel fine but can't be bothered with blogs, annoying people or constant whining. Not to say the three go together. 


I went through social media lists and cleared out all the annoying people I was following or who followed me. Then I cleaned the floors. And went out into the garden and ripped out all unproductive plants. Made me feel much better.


Daughters gathered around doing shopping and giving advice.


K has been negative throughout.


The one interesting happening all week were some very low flying big passenger planes. They sounded as though they were preparing to land in the bay below. But they continued on to Athens. I had fascinating views of their under carriages from the terrace.  


Today there are fires on the outskirts of Athens. Cool breezes which will turn into a heatwave by the weekend.


Hopefully I'll be out by then and able to swim again.


Our local beach had a big cleanup which we should have been part of.  No photos of it on Facebook. Or not that I've been told about anyway. Not much communication at the moment in our house. 


How the hell did I get the dreaded lurgy and not him. I hadn't been out for days. Whose evil eye poisoned me.

  2. Bummer. Thank goodness it's a mild dose and you are able to do a good spring clean of your unwanted social media followers.
    (Must check if I am still there....)

    1. Ha! You're the second person to wonder if they had been deleted. It was mainly on Instagram I removed unknowns. I have few enough blog followers! But I did unsubscribe myself to a few blogs .
      Just felt good to clean up a little.

    1. So many people here have it. I had to catch it sometime. Can't understand why K doesn't have it though. His time will come

    1. It's a flu which you can very easily pass on. Fortunately most seem to have a lite variety, omicron I presume as Amy says. You don't feel that bad but isolating is a nuisance

  5. No doubt you have omicron, it seems to affect everyone differently from what I've seen, hopefully you have a mild dose, my daughter and I got hit hard when we had it in April this year but the boys got it easy. It was probably bound to happen sooner or later, stay safe aye.

    1. Yes, it was my turn. I'm lucky that I have a mild dose. As you say, it's just a matter of time

  6. It might have been a curse but it sounds like it has been a very productive one. F should catch it and our clearing out process might go a lot faster. Hope you are well enough to swim before we really bake. Xxx Mr T

    1. I got a negative test today so it's all over, bar a bit of coughing. Wasn't bad at all

  7. Cough? Fever? Breathing? You sound like you got off lightly.

  9. Glad it's not a really bad case you have. We have managed to escape it so far (touch wood). We have been vaccinated 4 times and will take the next one that comes along too. We have a brand new great grandson (first) 4 days old and will be seeing him tomorrow. Can't wait!! Have been seeing all the terrible fires and heat in Europe. It is very scary! Take care.

    1. Congrautlations on your new great grandson. Wonderful news for you. Must be exciting to see a great-grand!!
      Fortunately Greece hasn't had Europe's heatwaves but there are fires all around Athens today. And high winds

  10. Oh dear; you sound positive though! I smelt and saw smoke yesterday. I still don't know what it was, maybe Facebook will tell me later.

    1. Maybe you're smelling the smoke from Spain and Portugal. It travels a long way. Across the Tasman sea from Australia to NZ.
      The thought of those big fires is frightening. There are fires around Athens today. Fortunately for us the smoke is being blown in the opposite direction.

  11. The virus seems to be everywhere, take time to rest and recover.

  12. The B5 variant is very contagious. It’s the same as what we had when we came back from vacation. But I do have a suggestion for you! Do not test to see if you’re negative, because even though it’s been 14 days, and you haven’t had symptoms, you will probably test positive even though you are no longer sick, or able to pass on the crud yourself. I was doing that, until a friend told me she was told not to do that. It’s what you call a “fools errand”, lol. It's also a waste of your tests, so save them, and when you have no symptoms for 5-7 days, go on out there. Good to hear K has managed to avoid it!
