We're all still very rough. But I'm currently feeling the worst I've felt yet, with a cough kicking in for me too now - a cough that rarely brings anything up, just explosive coughing.

I did manage to eat a little food. Not much, but the most I've eaten for a few days

Covid updates

Jo and I slept through the morning. And her cough is very much there.

I'm wrestling with a headache again, and temperature fluctuations

Haven't actually seen the boys yet...

Could I ask, specifically, for prayer for Nathan's gums. They're really sensitive, and he isn't eating, because it hurts too much

Marriage Matters, Season 1, Episode 3 – ‘What did you say?’

https://youtu.be/aYIHgAy04SU

Introduction
In this week’s episode of Marriage Matters, Andy and Jo are focusing on communication in marriage – healthy communication, misunderstandings, and arguments - the good, the bad and the ugly!

Let’s be honest, we all make mistakes, say the wrong thing, raise our voices and so on…join Andy and Jo as they share their experiences; being honest about an incident involving a cushion!

#RealTalk – What did you say?
This week is wrapped around scripture to keep us on the right track when it comes to communicating with our spouses, starting with wholesome, healthy, good communication - a very good place to start - and end!

Andy and Jo are not afraid to admit that things go wrong in marriages, that they have misunderstood one another from time to time – it happens!

Yesterday we had dinner with the boys and watched a film together.

Nd yet, today, Jo and I haven't been yet able to get out of bed.

We're both feeling much rougher today, not better - hoping this marks the beginning of the end of the virus, rather than sinking back into it

Today is also the end of our 10 day self isolation, and 7 days with very obvious symptoms

Feeling pretty broken today. Ongoing prayers would be most appreciated

Boys seem much less bad. Steven describes his current symptoms as like that of a head cold

Covid updates: Jo and I feeling a bit worse today...totally exhausted, and weak, feeling generally very rubbish

Temperature fluctuations have calmed down, but Jo's cough comes and goes

My headache is back, despite an amazing prayer video that @Olamide sent me (even more special because he isn't exactly at home right now!)

I want sleep, buy am trying to stay awake so I can sleep overnight....I may just g to sleep soon

Yesterday we were eating almost approaching normally. Today I've given up eating a banana half way in, because it's too draining

Run down, weak, tired - that is is this morning.

Boys seem to be very slowly improving, which is encouraging

And @Jo_PrayerN_actionCenter someone just messaged to ask if we need anything bringing over...they aren't exactly local, but help is help! Thanks for your specific prayers

Andy

Painful sides when I blow my nose. I haven't coughed much, but when you do MAN is it agressive - it catches you off guard (I've been so careful to breathe through my nose as much as possible, although a runny nose has frequently kicked that one into touch)

Haven't had painful sides (from coughing) like that for MANY years

Steven has nearly lost his voice, and is feeling generally run down
Nathan struggling with temperature fluctuations
Peter is looking run down, and is very slow (we miss his joyous smile! :-( )
Jo is perking up a bit, but her cough, while pretty mild, is causing her upset

I even went outside to empty a bin...very slowly, and cos we couldn't get any more in it!!

I'm hoping these are positive signs, but I'm equally aware that good moments are followed by bad ones, so none of us are taking any improvements for granted

@tanjaostman tea tree oil is simply amazing! We will look into that room infuser thingy you mentioned at some point

First time I've felt like having a shower, since last weekend.... I'll take that as a positive

With ajo and I both coughing last night, I got up at 2 am to go breathe in tea tree oil vapour...after 30 minutes of a string dose of that, I finally started to breathe without wheezing.

Am now utterly exhausted as I tried sleeping for a few hours on our recliner sofa, so I could stay a little more upright

Nathan couldn't get warm last night, neither could Peter. Nathie actually went off to bed in two jackets, a thick winter coat and hat!

Steven is just very low, with mild symptoms kicking his butt.

For all of us to be I'll at the exact same time, is simply not something we've ever experienced previously. It is making everything even more complex!

Ongoing prayers would continue to be very welcome.

Covid prayer update: Nathan definiy ill now - he can't get warm, and had a really rough sleep

Jo had a cough slowly developing and is really rough

I was up at 0530 for food and painkillers because the headache I had stopped me sleeping. And I can't keep a stable temperature - it's all over the place

Nathan seems to be sinking a little now - just a headache so far....Jo and I definitely have head cold symptoms now, with a cough we're just about keeping at bay

Grateful for the prayers. Steven a little ill, Nathan ok, Peter is cold and has a mild headache.

Jo and I barely able to leave the bed (I really don't like hanging around in a bed!). Pain killers finally reducing my headache. We're exhausted, and we can't think straight.

On the plus side I woke up today without the odd sensation in my lungs that I've had for the past few days....can't describe ii verh well...perhaps like a cold pain? That's now gone, thankfully!

25th wedding anniversary plans now killed off, which is the least of our issues.

@tanjaostman this the right stuff?

Haven't been ill for ages...covid sucks!!

Positive home covid test for Jo (assume I have it too) which will curtail our filming day today!

Started last Wednesday so we should be most the way through...

Prayers appreciated by my DingDash family!!

Self isolating til Friday

we had an awful lot of fun doing this!

BerryBunch.family Light Party, 2021 – The Light shines in the darkness

https://youtu.be/WWc9tVUza9M

‘The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it’ (NLT) – John1:5
In this year’s Light Party, you are in for a treat – No Trick – All Treat! You’ll never guess what, Andy and Jo are joined by none other than Dave the Dog. Dave is actually in the studio, for real, ‘in person’ – well ‘in dog’!

Now, just so you know, Dave the Dog does not like the dark and was happy to show up for the Light Party, knowing that it was all about light – the opposite of darkness – and that the studio would be well lit…. but there’s a problem.

Dave finds himself in darkness more than once, tune in to find out what happens and how Dave handles himself in the studio – will Dave behave himself, what will he make of the microphones and what will Dave’s take be on all these Light Party treats we have in store for you?
