No Christmas market, hot pork sandwiches, brass band playing or Santa climbing down the church tower this year in our little town :( But, Santa will be travelling around the streets with his elves, throwing around plenty of sweets and switching on the Christmas lights in the town at 5.00 pm :P

This is always one of the highlights of the year for our small community. Let's all look forward to a happier 2021.

Maybe when all this is behind us we'll appreciate the good things in life. I doubt it but we can live in hope. Stay safe and hey let's be careful out there.

negative for antibodies
however pharmacist friend said that that didn't mean we hadn't had it
as antibodies fade over time.
so that was a waste of money :roll:


As we both had it early in the year, before we knew it was in the country, we never had a Covid test. Fairly sure Mike picked it up on one of our many hospital visits, following his open heart surgery. He very nearly died. Then I went down with it, thinking I was maybe starting a mild cold. Only it knocked me off my feet and I had the long Covid version and only started to feel recovered, in August. So I have read a lot about it all and it seems many don't show antibodies but they do an immunity due to T Cells. Which is a form of defence system but don't ask me to explain it. I understand it when I read about it but I don't know enough to explain it to anyone else.

One thing that confirms, to me, that I had it is, Covid is the only virus known to man that actually 'turns off' the olfactory nerve. That is what causes the loss of taste and smell. Unlike a cold, when you lose those senses due to the nasal passages being blocked, I came downstairs one morning and suddenly realised I'd lost it all, completely. It was the weirdest thing, I was so concerned I grabbed a can of air freshener, sprayed some into the lid and sniffed and got nothing, nothing at all. I think it took a week or so to come back but I was so ill at that time, I don't remember.

Hope everyone is keeping safe and that you all manage to enjoy Christmas. x

I live in Manchester so been in Tier 3 since the summer so not ready for Christmas at all due to restrictions but ready for it as a short respite from everything.
I am cautious about going out as I live in a retirement flat and some of the other residents are vulnerable and also my daughter is heavily pregnant with an imminent due date.
