She is so inconsiderate...
You don't have to apologise for putting it here. We are all here to listen/empathise with others' frustrations especially to stupidity like this over Covid issues.
Hugs for you

I've signed up to an app @dunelm recommended and my GP suggested I call 119, which I did. I'm now on a strict 14-day isolation and if I show any symptoms they will test me.

She is in the beauty parlour where, if she is carrying, she will spread it. I bet she won't tell them or her bloke when he trots over tomorrow.
 
Unbelievable!

I don't suppose you can travel with all the lockdown but Lichfield had over 290 slots available on Tuesday, just a thought if you were concerned, drive in, do it yourself. You can also book a do it yourself kit to be sent to your home on the Gov site. I guess you know these things though.

Hope all bugs miss you.
 
I should have stuck to Novas! Still here is yesterday's painting seen as many things by forum members but for me I turned it Landscape and saw a forest sunrise. A4 about 1 hour in total, quick brush strokes and splurge of colours...I think I will go back to more traditional techniques for my next one of a Larch Landscape.....
 

The gov site won't send one if (bizarrely) you have been in close contact with someone who was tested positive. I'll go back to monitoring everything again and see how it goes. At least I know they will test the moment I show anything.
 

You have done the very best you can @Alien Aspie
I hope the 14 day isolation passes without incident or symptoms.
Take care.


I have been signed up to an app for some months now, which will give me access to a Covid test if I need it. My county council sent me details of it somewhere near the beginning of the first lockdown.
 

I like this very much @Muddy Cyclist
I find this very cheerful and uplifting. And would be happy to see more of these.

He has decided to be difficult. He asked to go in the garden so we put on the plastic outer bandage that keeps his bandage dry when in the garden. He goes in the garden and refuses to do anything. He hasn't been to the toilet for ages but he just wouldn't do anything. It got really cold standing there waiting for him. He can be so stubborn sometimes.
 
Forest sunrise - fabulous textures on the trees. Colours work very well.
 

Totally understand why you’re so cross, that is an unbelievably irresponsible attitude. Well, I wish it was unbelievable. Unfortunately some people are just that selfish.
I have a friend who’s having ongoing immunosuppressant therapy for cancer. First thing his wife did when he broke the news - during the first lockdown, was take the kids to her mothers to have a self pity party. Then she started nagging him to landscape the garden Incase he got too ill to do it later. She has made zero attempt to keep him safe. He caught a bug and was hospitalised. Not two days later he’s having to hang around outside the gym, in the rain and freezing cold, where his 5yr old is having a tennis lesson, because she has a hair appointment and neither lesson nor appointment can possibly be cancelled. - And that’s only the tip of the iceberg!! No, in my opinion he should not have married her.
Some people are just beyond! - A guy who has a unit near my Dads on the local ind. est. had covid but came in, coughing etc, to do a quick job and made sure to visit everyone else - maskless, to tell them he was ill. He’d even had a positive test! No sense at all! Needless to say, the whole site went into isolation mode and he became pretty much public enemy No.1 for a while.
 
Poor thing. Our Moët Peas (to fool sesnsors) on command which is very useful although I often feel a complete Charlie standing in the garden saying "Go and do a W eeeee"

Thank you. I have started two more today but have given up on both, paints away, Mandolin, guitar and borrowed Mandola out for a while to scare the neighbours, I will be considerate and leave my fiddle on the wall.

My Boo would pea and poup on command. People in the park were amazed, my ex was very strict with her commands to him (and me)

Sounds like a very well behaved Labrador, I have had three, two were so intelligent and responsive to voice and clicking finger commands and could be trusted to stay for ever in the same place if asked. The third Moet which we have now is smart enough but can have his moments, not so much now he's blind as he relies on us for his bearings, does well though.

Edit PS. Sounds like you had to be a very well behaved for you ex, I'm sure you were very well trained.

I believe that the medics have so far discovered over 500 functions that the liver dips it’s sticky paws into - a very busy bee so no wonder we get caught out just at at time when we think that we have it nailed.

Sorry to correct you fellow motorcyclist and painter of little helicopters and submarines flying over oriental scenery.
Just before I walked out of the liver transplant unit in Birmingham one of the top liver research physicians told me that they had identified 106 major functions and over 5000 minor functions, that was over 28 years ago.
We stand no chance understanding this diabetic conundrum, well I stand no chance.
 

Boo was gun dog stock and nothing would faze him and he knew his commands perfectly. Personally, I thought it was a bit much especially when I found out I would sit on command too Those days were pre me knowing about my autism, it was hard going and I'm better without someone breathing down my neck

Two of mine were Champagne Show dogs all males all entire. I was lucky as they were quick learners and only wanted to please. The middle one Ben was my favourite and I miss him most but he was a first cross between a Labrador and GOlden Retriever, he looked just like a Champagne Lab but was so intelligent and easy to train. I have always been strict in a loving, training sense with our dogs, non ever went upstairs, only came into the lounge if invited, never fed tit bits, never allowed to jump up as a greeting, let's face it 36kilo jumping up you is no joke, a hard master I suppose but dogs are dogs, great companions but not human. I understand why you miss Boo.
 

They sound lovely, I often think of getting another dog but I don't want to outlive another friend or have one outlive me. Now I settle for other peoples dogs running up to me in the park

I had two Newfoundlands as well, and there is a chap that I occasionally meet in the park that has two Newfies. Best hugs ever

She won't even consider that she could be spreading it even if she is atypical. There's no-one for me to talk to atm so I apologise for putting it on here. I'm going to have to get another test, I've been so **** careful since March

That is dreadful. Absolutely appalling behaviour. No wonder you are fuming.
