Yes. At last, after a gruelling fortnight, much of which has been spent lying languidly on my bed, my Covid test this morning tells me 'good-bye'. One more test to go and then hopefully I shall feel better. (difficult when one is going 'downhill' to decide when one feels 'better' from Covid but the wonderful herbaceous geraniums and roses are definitely making me feel more human (as long as I don't try to do anything!))
The sun certainly does the old bones good.
The irritant at the moment is that the batteries need changing in my garage door. I have them here but cannot change them because it needs two hands. My electrician is on holiday but is coming home today (must be hard as the joyous background 'noise' (or should I say 'nature's music') sounds so very tempting. He says he will pop round and change them for me this evening.
Off now to look for something tempting to eat (for the past fortnight everything has tasted like cardboard).

Yay for good-bye to COVID! So glad you're on the mend again. Hope you can enjoy a Kit-Kat at least, as well as something nutritious or another. Keep on keeping on. I'm always so glad to read your posts, about your doing the puzzles and keeping up with news.
I am happy you are feeling better! May every day be better than the last.
Best Wishes,
Kay
It never struck me until now. I remember that losing your taste was a side effect of covid that we all heard about back in the early days of covid. I had forgotten about it. As covid seemingly morphs into something less deadly, what were your symptoms? Did you have covid ever before or was this the first time? If you've had it before, did this seem like a milder, gentler covid?
I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better, but now I'm off to have a read about the current covid situation.
Cheers that you'll soon see the end of Covid and will begin that long recovery. Every day a bit better so that will be good. Hope your taste buds wake up so food is yummy once more. Meanwhile you can feast your eyes on your glorious garden!
Cheers that your electrician will be back on the job to install those batteries this evening.
Hugs!
You have such a nice team of workers to take care of the needs of your home (and you!).
I am glad that Covid is negative now and hope your taste improves quickly. Enjoy your garden, Pat!
I am so glad to see you back among us. Any time one of us very senior seniors disappear from blogging (even with an excuse like covid) one wonders just how ill that person really is and will that be the end of their blogging career. Best wishes for continued improvement.
So glad that you are on the mend. I've just returned from the Dales. We had a 'bit of weather' for our walks but it was beautiful as we were packing up to leave. It always seems to be the case, making me very loathe to go! Always beautiful, whatever the weather.
No questions here just good to hear you are beating the Covid and can see light at the end of the tunnel. Nearly there.
Good to hear from you - hope the Covid vanishes completely very soon.
Good to hear that you are seeing COVID off.
Roses and geraniums are a good garden combination xx
Debby This is my first taste of Covid. I no longer go out - my Carer and I went down with it on the same day. I have been quite ill - no appetite, extreme weakness, bad cough. I am picking up now and almost in the clear. Not nice. Still no appetite but this symptom seems to attack everyone who catches it. I have never missed a vaccination - had one six weeks ago.
So glad to see your post and hear you're feeling better!
Hope your carer is doing well.
Roses & geraniums are lovely in the garden, and I'm glad you're enjoying them.
Hope your appetite improves and food is tasty once again.
So very pleased to know you are 'out of the woods' dear Pat.
Take care and regain your vim and vigor quickly - and stay well from hereon out X
I'm so happy to hear that you are testing negative for the dratted COVID and that you are up prowling around for something to eat. Nature is the best medicine and the birds and flowers must help you feel better.
So pleased you are rid of the dreaded Covid. I have managed to avoid it so far, but I had a really unpleasant reaction to the latest booster jab, which has left me with no energy. I don't fancy having another one. I hope you will begin to enjoy your meals again and to be able to move about once more.
I'm so glad you're feeling better, Pat. Xx
My grandmother always swore that tinned peaches were the best thing to eat
Hope you continue and feel better and better every day
I'm relieved you're starting to feel better Weaver. Covid is such an unpredictable swine, isn't it.
I hope that the summer weather will mean you can sit on your porch, or at least in an open doorway, and enjoy some warmth, and the views of your wonderful garden. Hoping each day sees you with more strength and a better appetite .
Glad to read that you are feeling better. Jackie
Good that you're finally leaving Covid behind.
I'm pleased to hear that you're feeling better; most of us have almost forgotten about Covid, although here in France I'm seeing a lot of people wearing masks (not me).
Nice to know your bout of Covid is on the retreat, and hopefully, you'll soon be able to taste those kitkats again.
I am intrigued as for your garage door - you don't drive anymore, so why is it so important to have the batteries on the door changed the very day your electrian returns from a holiday?
Keep getting better, I miss the daily meals your carer once used to cook for you. The plants are indeed lovely at this time of year and it is warm for once, though changing on Thursday.
Meike, I think you will find that the garage is like another room to Weaver and in it she keeps her freezer and her bins both of which she needs to have access to.
SO glad to hear you're done with Covid. It's lovely that you can look out in your garden and see flowers all around you. Flowers always cheer me up.
I pleased to hear that Covid is at last beating a retreat for you. There's nothing worse than all your food tasting bland or yucky when you're ill is there, when all you crave is small tasty nibbles to try and get your strength back up.
I hope your KitKat starts working its magic again by afternoon tea time. (I keep a stash of KitKats as well except mine are full size.)
I'm so happy to see your post and know you are feeling better. Kit Kats have healing properties don't they? Perhaps doubling up your usual consumption... Pat in Pennsylvania
Thank you for the explanation, Rachel. Yes, I remember Pat mentioning the use of her garage for other things than storing a car. But I would have thought that the door between her bungalow and the garage is a "regular" door, not like a motor-driven door like the big one at the front of the garage.
Now that you're tested clear of Covid you will begin regaining a bit more strength and well being with each passing day,I am relieved and very happy for you,Mary
Hope you regain
Your Kit-Kat taste,
So those you've got cupboarded
Don't go to waste.
Retrain your tastebuds
To savor your treat
And in no time at all
You'll taste vegies and meat !
Best wishes to you Pat -from Pam.

Glad to hear that you are on the mend Weave. You are right about it people having very different symptoms. To my knowledge neither my partner nor I have had it - could have had it a been completely asymptomatic of course. Have always tested if one of us hasn’t felt well but so far it has always been the one line and not two.
It's steps forward and steps back for me too, now. I try to go forward more than back, but things conspire against it.
