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!!

@KarlGessler ok

We're starting to see something of an end...very weak still, but the boys are mostly better, or at least dramatically improving

Jo and I still have a cough, although mine is worse than Jo's. Managed to have it absent all day until I ate a piece of chicken and managed to breathe a little bit of it...took me 2 hours to come back to a regular breathing pattern again after that... so frustrating as I'd worked really hard all day on that!

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

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.

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