I’m sticking to one over Easter just to keep stuff simple and to keep it to 40 weeks.

Disease is still in me, I tested positive again this morning. We came away to Yorkshire as planned because I can hide from folk as well here as at home. Mrsgriff is walking me off my feet - if there’s a river I’ve walked beside it. Nearly 14 miles over the last two days. I also doubted we’d get our money back at short notice now that you don’t have to self isolate.

I’ve lost the sore throat and headaches but kept the runny nose and phlegm and developed a hacking cough that comes on from time to time. The worst thing though is the pangs of guilt that I sometimes get when I think back a year to all those whose lives were at risk from this and who were pariahs if they caught it when all I have seems to be a head cold. Mrsgriff tells me not to be daft but it would be different if she caught it

To be honest like most of the country the pair of us have decided just to get on with life but to be careful around other folk; we still mask up and sanitise as we used to. But I reckon this herd immunity thing is the way we have to go now that it’s just another flu, albeit one which mutated from a deadlier strain.
