Morning all! So now Elder minipeeler has tested positive for covid โ˜น๏ธ Being stuck at home with a covid sufferer who repeatedly left his room without warning hasn't worked out very well for him. Luckily he just seems to have a slight sniffle, but as an introvert he is more than happy to stay in his room with a supply of snacks and drinks and tech ๐Ÿ˜†. Miniest has some cold and flu symptoms but tested negative, but I'm keeping her in her room with a similar supply of drinks and tech. Mr P has pledged to stick his head out the window for a smoke if he needs one and not leave his room at all today, but it's a bit bloody late for that. I'm still testing negative and have no symptoms, but I have constantly been wearing a mask since Sunday and being as meticulous as I can.

It's hard to avoid in your home, you've done very well!

I hope your eldest gets well soon <3

It's not much of a silver lining, but you've just won any argument that happens in the next six months or so.

"Yeah, well you gave the kids covid by walking through the bloody living room every five minutes!"

I'd be mad not to use it!
