Friday's Fave Five - 18th February 2022

Friday's Fave Five is hosted by Susanne over at Living to Tell the Story.  Pop over to her site to find out more and to find other like minded bloggers.

Here are my Five Faves of the week:

1)  I have a mild case of Covid.  That might seem strange but I'm thankful that I don't have a severe case and that I'm double vaccinated and boosted because otherwise I dread to think how ill I might have been this week.  I tested positive on Monday so have to isolate until 25th Feb (next Friday) unless I test negative tomorrow and Sunday. (Or any 2 consecutive days before next Friday.)

2)  We met up with quite a few extended family members last Sunday to wish one of our nephews and his fiancée good luck as they have since left for New York where he will be working.  It was lovely to catch up with family members, some who we hadn't seen for a while.

3)  I'm thankful that I only seem to have passed Covid onto my hubby and not to anyone at the gathering.  The excited couple had negative pre-flight tests and left as planned on Tuesday.  Fortunately Hubby's case of Covid also seems mild.  He tested positive yesterday despite us trying to avoid one another as much as possible.

4)  Online and home delivery of grocery shopping.  We wouldn't have starved but it was good to get our usual delivery today with things like milk and eggs etc.  Although we've both been contacted by our local council to check if we needed any support.  Thankfully we don't but good to know it's out there for those that do.

5)   Books to read!  The main symptoms I've had with Covid are cold like symptoms plus I've been very tired.  Thankfully with no commitments I've been able to take things really easy and I've managed to do a lot of reading this week.

As I'm writing this I'm listening to the wind from Storm Eunice which has swept across the UK today.  We were actually in a Red Alert area which is not something that happens often.  It has been very windy but thankfully we haven't suffered any damage although there are a few trees down in the local area and I expect there will be some down in the forest but the advice generally was to stay home unless it was absolutely necessary to go out.  Of course as we're isolating we didn't have any plans to go out anyway.  The winds seem to have eased a bit and currently the sun is shining.  

Have a good weekend all - ours will be quiet!
