Dear All,

Not too much to report this week due to registering +ve to COVID since last Sunday I haven’t left the village all week. Kate and I have both had COVID before but this time it was about 10x worse with a few days in bed, a rasping cough and other flu-like symptoms.

A couple of photos from the quiz last week:

I was able to tune in to both “The Balkans” and “Eat Well, Live Longer” on Zoom but had to miss “Adventures in High Places”, “Biographies” and walking this week.

I have managed to do quite a bit of digging both here and at the allotment and planted Chinese Greens in the greenhouse.

Another gardening event this week was harvesting and sampling the Tudor Vegetable Skirret – verdict? not unpleasant but not a strong flavour.

So, this week I have cancelled an Eye test, a Hearing test, a flu jab and to complete the week a tooth cap fell out!

On the positive side I have managed quite a lot of digging and had time to prepare my Biographies contribution which this time is “William Cobbett” of Rural Rides fame.

News just in from U3A is that the office and all class rooms in Bridge Street, Cambridge have been closed for at least a week due to discovering evidence of Legionnaires Disease in the water supply.

STOP PRESS I have tested -ve this morning after 8 days!

 

Regards

 

Mike & Kate
