Rare xpcdoojk Posted February 22, 2022 #49429 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Here is the pictures I took after our very long day to get to the house Saturday.

Instead of a mega-yacht in the other shows, it's an actual (large) sail boat. They hoist the sails. It's the 3rd season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was 82 and Wed. will be 32 with sleet, ice and who knows what else will fall from our Dallas area skies. Did your cruise group charter the whole ship? Continue to have a wonderful cruise! Yes total charter with 100 percent occupancy, which required a couple of Covid tests, one of our heating systems went out when we were leaving for the cruise, luckily it the smaller unit that just covers bedrooms and a couple of bathrooms, so we upped the heat in main unit and had a good neighbor contact our heating company and it is now working. Fantastic music again today first Mellisa Manchester, then Little river band , then we saw Maria Muldaur for a second time in consecutive days. Ship is now pulling into San Juan for a medical emergency, they told us several times that this was a non Covid medical issue. We are due to dock in St Maarten tomorrow. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted February 22, 2022 #49439 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Good morning. 50°F windy and rain forecast soon. Isolation restrictions to be lifted on Thursday in England which is concerning for cruising imo. Wishing everyone a nice and safe day.

sgmn Posted February 22, 2022 #49440 Share Posted February 22, 2022 So day 5 of symptoms I can do the first test (of two) to release, but it still shows positive ☹️ Gary now shows a faint second line My SIL still shows positive My nephew (her son) now positive My neice (different side of family from SIL) also positive after attending a wedding in Dublin My DIL also now shows positive 😥 The only good thing if Gary does have covid is I won't have to isolate in the bedroom any more and will be able to use the whole house Not sure what we are going to do about exercising Molly Announcement yesterday is that from Thursday there is no legal requirement to isolate, it is replaced with an advisory to stay at home They are also doing away with free testing apart from the vulnerable. So after April we have to pay for tests 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted February 22, 2022 #49443 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) Sorry to hear about all the positives in the family including you Sue. We have had to pay for our RATS tests here. If you are over a certain age, they are free though. Our Max went a week without being walked during our isolation. Our yard is big enough that he got exercised via the tennis racquet & tennis ball. Is there someone local you can reach out to via FB or one of the odd jobs work wanted apps that can walk her?

My S8 is the perfect size for my hand which is why I didn't go with the S22 plus. I don't worry so much about pocket fit as I keep my phone clipped into a holster on my belt. If it were not for the battery issue I would still be sticking with my present phone. Though as time goes on you start running into apps that won't run on older versions of Android. Like you, I was not quick to get a smart phone. This S8 was my first one. Though now I really can't function without one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not legally, its isolate at home until two clear days from day 5 or if still positive at day 10 can end isolation Can only leave if can't get a food delivery or need urgent medical supplies/care My son is coming over in his lunch hour so she'll get one walk today I think if I'm still positive by Thursday when restrictions lift I'll take her for a walk in woods. It's easy to avoid the few people who may be there I'm feel 95% fine now anyway 👍 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea about tennis ball and racket. Nick, our youngest who lives near is going to walk her at lunch time. He was going back to the office this week but because my DIL has now also caught it, he's a close contact so another week of WFH She goes to doggy day care on Fridays to keep her socialized and she'll probably have her if we asked Edited February 22, 2022 by sgmn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not till April though. The rationale is billions have been spent on free testing for the last year or so and money needs to go towards the very big backlog that's built up this last two years. There's still free testing for vulnerable and care settings There's quite an interesting analyst below BBC News - Covid: An axe has been taken to testing - does it matter?https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-60471607 Edited February 22, 2022 by sgmn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
