We’ve never had a week like it. I’m so sorry for any inconvenience caused – I did put notices out on social media in the hope that none of you had wasted journeys.
I was feeling a little under the weather on Monday and worse again on Tuesday. I just thought it was a cold, however, it wasn’t until my sense of taste changed, that I decided to take a covid test, which was positive!
I had Covid a few years ago but it was very mild in comparison. This totally poleaxed me. I was unable to work on Wednesday and Lyn was also already feeling under the weather, so couldn’t cover, and Annie was unavailable, so I had no choice but to close for the day.
Annie worked as usual on Thursday but by the evening, Lyn too had tested positive. Annie also has another job and was unable to cover so I had no choice but to remain closed Friday and Saturday. It has been such a disaster, not only because we’ve been feeling so unwell, but naturally, a disaster for business – and having just launched our summer sale!
Annie had also been off with Covid the previous week, so please do watch out everyone, wash your hands a keep your distance because from what I am hearing, it’s rife out there again. I just don’t think everyone is bothering to test any more. The NHS website states that whilst you are no longer required to take a test if you have symptoms, if you do take a test, and test positive, you should try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people for 5 days after the day you took your test.
I experienced one really nasty day on Wednesday and just kept sleeping and coughing, but by Friday I was upright, and starting to feel brighter. Still weak and feeble but definitely feeling more human again.
So I will be testing again tonight to make sure I am negative before I am back to hopefully open the shop, tomorrow.
I haven’t been able to do little else, other than watch tv – Wimbledon and of course the Euros have kept me going. We have everything crossed for tonight and I will definitely be watching – Come On England!
Keep well, have a great week ahead, take care of each other and be kind.
