Good morning 🙂 5.3 for me today 🙂
Ahh! Corfu, my first Greek Island, July 1983. 18-30 holiday. It was quite tame to be honest but I did come home pregnant! By Mr Eggy of course! 🙂Morning all,
A 6.1 this morning... interesting how things work out, I was talking with a friend yesterday morning discussing how so many appointments have been cancelled in recent times and then I get a txt from the surgery in the afternoon asking me to contact them for my HbA1c test! Spooky!
In other news and for those stowing away on my 'Silver Fox' virtual cruise we are on day 8 and back in Corfu town having completed the southerly loop of our 15 day cruise. The weather will be 31 degrees at mid-day and I think a shopping trip is due with perhaps a trip to Pontikonisi or 'Mouse Island' which is a lovely off the beaten track place to chill!
@ColinUK asked yesterday about the midnight buffet...
The answer is it's amazing!!! and totally carb free well 'virtually'
Enjoy the photos and don't eat too much, leave some for me!
Blessings Snowwy
I’m just going to leave this here with no comment...Guten Morgan. @ColinUK I’ll play Klop to your René! Are you rehearsing for ‘Ello ‘Ello? A very nice round sechs for me. I got a very mediocre O level in French but managed to translate your post, I enjoyed German more, got a quite good CSE in that! All those genders, Der Die Das etc. And nouns beginning with capital letters! Confused? Yep!
Not up to much today, a little bit shopping, I should have been getting a Tesco Click and Collect today but cancelled it to try and force myself to go into a big supermarket. It hasn’t happened yet, been in Aldi once or twice, CoOp and M&S. So I’ve ended up getting bits and bobs every few days. I’m regretting it now!
Have a fab Friday. Auf Wiedersehen! Pet!😛
That made me laugh. They are very literal as well, their words are enormous! 😛I’m just going to leave this here with no comment...
My german teacher once demonstrated the use of prepositions at the end of a sentence, which we shouldn’t do in English (but do) but which is correct in German,with the following sentence.That made me laugh. They are very literal as well, their words are enormous! 😛
I thought the point of the 14 day isolation was that you can develop Covid up to 14 days after exposure, so a test after a couple of days might not show positive as it hadn’t develped yet? Gov guidelines say do 14 days whatever.On Monday evening he got notified that the result was negative, which was a great relief, and he was allowed to rejoin the family after 5 whole days in isolation.
Isn't that for when you’ve been having symptoms but are feeling better?Well this is what the NHS told him:-

I think it would detect it a couple of days before symptoms showed, because that’s when you can spread it, but I don’t know about earlier. A quick Google didn’t throw anything useful up. I’d have thought it may not show in the early stages, because you need sufficient for the virus present in the nose and tonsils to show up on the test. Otherwise, they could make the rule that if you’ve been in contact, get a test and if it’s clear you’re good to go. But that’s not what they’re saying.Presumably the test would detect the presence of the virus even if it was incubating?
Martin
Unless you’ve been told to isolate by Test and Trace. Which does sound a bit draconian, when contrasted with the other rules for what to do if you’ve shown symptoms. And the double negative in the instructions doesn’t help with the interpretation.ie, 'You do not need to self isolate....as long as you were not told to self-isolate by Test and Trace'So what this says is that you don't need to self-isolate if your test is negative, as long as you feel well. 11 days on and he's still feeling perfectly normal.
