We try to open our windows once a day. Even when it is less than warm. Just for 20 minutes, or so.

I'm sitting here, while we're freshening up the house - with the windows open -wondering if I should search for "symptoms of hypothermia"....perhaps we should close them again soon lol

Maybe 20 minutes is optimistic today 😜 😂

Nice to have some fresh air though!

Woke up from a deep sleep at 1215, very confused, cos I could hear Jo's coughs in the distance

Checked several clocks all showing the same time, bit it was light outside

Very confused!! I couldn't recall her kiss me goodbye, like she always does

Turns out Jo didn't go to work, as the job she had to do today was cancelled

And I'd slept solidly til after lunchtime

Maybe I overdid it with that walk yesterday!!

Anyway...time for a rest, and let myself wake up!!

It really is the afternoon!!!!!

my latest post (and first for a while)

all to do with Covid, fear and God's perspective

Covid and The Golden Ticket

Take your mind back, and you might remember seeing the first signs that Covid-19 could well be a real issue, heading our way, like a freight train running along the tracks towards the edge of a cliff!

Scroll on a couple of years, and it is still making the lives of tens of millions of people difficult, at best. It has taken many loved ones from their family, way ahead of time, and it has created an abundance of fear.

We’ve seen governments, the media – and especially social media – capitalising on the fear of covid, to spread more fear for their own ends: as one doctor recently asked, where are the international campaigns, outrage and outcry about the dangers of eating too much sugar, or drinking too much alcohol: covid is indeed terrible, but there are other serious health issues out there too, which seem to have been forgotten about.

Longer walk today.

Went easy up the [gentle] hill. My heart wanted to know what an earth I thought I was doing. Been a while!

Still. Home, tired and resting

30 minute walk under my own power today. Then, when Jo came home, I drove out to our local supermarket - which I really enjoyed...I've been getting a dry cough of an evening, but the Aircon sorted that straight away.... would've been useful knowing that a week ago!

Still, I'm getting slowly better, Jo is back to work, and the boys are back on their home ed

None of us is 100%, but we're all better than yesterday...and that matters!

Meanwhile, loads of Jo's colleagues are also going down with covid, many quite hard.

Thanks for your ongoing prayers

Onwards!!

@tanja do you have any figures on numbers of deaths from covid v abortions? In any nation?

Thanks my family for your prayers

I've just been out for a beautiful fall walk. 30 minutes, and pretty slow. But that's my first proper exercise in nearly 3 weeks! My legs are feeling it...but I feel great for getting out under my own power.

I've missed most of the really beautiful days and foliage. But saw some beauty in the nature near our home none the less

The leaves are on our driveway

The green path is actually a steep slope...it made me feel hopeful - tomorrow I will try a proper walk into the fields, and get some more exciting photos

Exciting to me, though, cos it represents the ability to breathe and walk 🙂

I'm outside the house 🙂
Walking to the local shop with @StevenBerry for a card and some dinner

It's an exciting moment for Me after two weeks never leaving the house...going to A&E doesn't count

for the first time in two weeks, I actually feel like I am a bit better than I was yesterday

plenty of things going on in our family life, but we have (thanks for the praying), perhaps, made some progress generating something of a short term fix for our website (very technical and I had to get @TakeN wo work through it with me 'cos my brain just couldn't understand it all)

thanks to my beautiful DingDash family - you've been such a strength and support over the past 2 weeks of Covid. we've been humbled by multiple message of love, prayer and support

I've got 1 antibiotic pill left to to take today

Jo is back at work today, which - for her - means working from home until this evening. she still has a mild, dry cough, and is a little slow and weak

boys are back at their home ed, and Peter is doing a sterling job getting on top of some of the housework that has built up - he's loving helping his family out this way

i'm still in bed, but getting there

Andy B and the BerryBunch

some updates on our website and material creation of late!

we haven't disappeared. we are still here - but our website is having some bigger issues (with our hosting company)

so if it goes offline again, it will be quite possibly, semi-permanent - we have a solution, which we'll put in place in the next 36-48 hours and that will resolve things in the next week or two (hopefully much quicker!)

with recovery from Covid, and some other stuff, we're not working at our optimum right now

on top of prayers for Covid (we're mostly past that now, just getting our strength back), could you pray for the website stuff - it is stretching my brainpower, quite a bit, and has caused us quite a bit of stress when we could do without that

had a little sleep...antibiotics must be doing something, because they're knocking me out within a couple of hours of taking one

2nd pill taken of 5... Shame my appetite is so shot at the moment cos the scrambled eggs Steven made me are probably very nice
