Morning all! Psyching myself up for an essential shopping trip which is not food. I have run out of plasters! Plus, I could really do with another couple of pairs of joggers/leggings/tracksuit bottoms - whatever, the relatively loose variety of such things are called these days. Or rather, I haven't totally run out of plasters but I have run out of the ones which don't turn my skin red or even remove a layer of skin if left on for too long. I'd completely forgotten, when I bought some emergency ones of a named brand, they did that to me, it's been so long since I last had those. However, the need for the plasters is diminishing as the site is now healing nicely, which I'm mightily relieved about after yesterday's googling when I frightened myself with gruesome pictures and today was the GP's "If it's no better by... we'll have to try.." deadline. I dunno, first infection of this kind I've ever had, and I get it when I'm more or less isolated, been very scrupulous about washing self and surroundings. and am well away from the usual germ-spreaders I work with.
It means running the gamut of those neighbours who've more or less given up on distancing and lockdown, though, to be accurate this lot never really got the hang of it. Even though at least three of them should be strictly shielding It's been most interesting being around a lot more and observing it all discreetly.
Definitely been doing more work for students at a distance. Apparently our efforts at making a video from us saying what we're up to has gone down a storm and been really reassuring for them that we're still there, still concerned and still missing them. (Just remind me I said that when we return to a more usual way of education and I'm being driven mad by them all!)
