There's not much to report this week as we've both been lying low waiting for our COVID symptoms to pass. We have been isolating, of course, as we wouldn't want to give this to anyone. Thank God we were able to access antivirals, which probably diminished the degree to which we were attacked, but neither of us wants to go through this again.
Thanks to everyone who responded when they read the news - we were inundated with well-wishers by email, text, Messenger & What's Ap. I cancelled everything that was on this past week, but Wes, who was three days ahead of me with recovery, was able to handle a couple of Zoom chats. He also made meals when the soup ran out, produced hot lemon drinks at the drop of a hat & looked after Morse, who was very happy to be spending all his time with us.
Here is Morse yesterday, fresh from a bath, celebrating his 4th birthday
We watched Melbourne Cup week races at Flemington, put on some bets, won some, lost some, as you do & ended up square over the week. The win by Gold Trip of the Cup itself was most exciting & well-deserved & the crowd to see him was amazing considering the wild, wet & not so warm weather.
I went for a walk around Maloney Folly yesterday to see what had been happening in the garden while we were in bed & was delighted to see our weeping Japanese maple had done its thing. As well our only rhododendron now has a single flower & it won't be long before there are roses in bloom. The lavender & seaside daisies are going crazy & the banksia rose is climbing over the arches in the back.
We do hope to be back on track this week, although I have cancelled or postponed most activities as we have been warned about doing too much & suffering a relapse or just being too tired.
