Well so far so good with the other half!

Post by Northern Lass »

Well Wolvie and I haven't killed each other yet.
He is working from Home and has got a good regime going so stays out the way apart
from a quick tea break and lunch break.
Good lad!!

We seem to be pulling together ok.

The thing is how do we know that this virus wasn't around months ago.
It says that last year something was noted a cluster of pneumonia cases
So how do we know that it wasn't doing the tour a lot earlier thanFeb/March this year?

In January I was really ill with something...just thought it was flu.
We need these tests rolled out.

To see if we have the antibodies.

Then Wolvie can go to work! 8)

:lol: :lol:

I will know next week at some point I hope! :shock:
He has to get back from his work first! :roll:
2 taken off as suspected virus, one last Saturday and another today! :(

Hopefully the tests will get out, to see who has it and if you have had it!

I am sure if this was about months ago there would be many more deaths that would have alerted medical staff?
Who knows? :?

My sister & brother-in-law think they had it back in January (as do their doctors), his head office is in the States and he makes regular trips to and fro and thinks he picked it up in JFK in New York in the transit lounge.
Currently investigating the Hillmans of Sussex.

A lot of people still rush into A & E hospitals with the virus (understandable with the terrible symptoms) and give it everyone there :roll:

I've got shortish, fine straight hair and in the past I've tried to let it grow, but then it gets to the point where you think Oh I can't be bothered with this, then have it cut short again. Now, seeing as I'm isolated for goodness knows how long and only Ken to see me, if I shaved off all my hair, when it started to grow again, would it be thicker :roll:

No. You only have one hair per follicle and shaving is not going to change that.

I decided last summer that I was fed up of having my hair short - it seemed to need cutting more and more frequently and with old age looming I quite fancied spending less at the hairdresser's. Plus, I've been watching a lot of Scandinavian murder mysteries and lots of the older women have long hair that they can put up in some clever Scandinavian way. Anyhow, I've tried going longer between cuts but each time I go for a trim the hairdresser mutters about keeping the proportions right and I come away with a trimmed fringe and hair that is still (after 8 months) too short to tie back. So I'm pleased that the hairdressers have all been shut. I'm hoping that by the summer I will have a great thatch of hair :-)
