Some Good News,

late in the afternoon Diana felt well enough to get up,

and start cooking! also look at these photographs of the house being built in the Philippines,

now up to the first floor,

even night fall does not stop the work,

a night time video of the work,

next day a look at the nights work,

during the day, lunch,

a new front gate has been ordered,

the concrete mixer must be working overtime!

ground and first floors in,

and more supplies arriving all of the time,

and it all looks like it will completed on time before the monsoon season,

and a video of work so far,

as well as Diana being up, the second covid test arrived, the doctor telephoned and decided that although the first test for covid was negative, a second test using a different kit should be completed, by 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Saturday, the kit had arrived and was back in the post, there are special priority post boxes around the UK as it happens there are 3 within half a mile of us, the Royal Mail handles test kits in these special boxes as ultra urgent, making multiple daily collections even on Sundays and bank holidays, this special service has been in operating since November last year, thank goodness we are not in the shambles of Europe!

Diana still had a major headache and pain in her muscles and joints, but as she had not eaten since being bed bound, except for a small bowl of soup, she was hungry, so beansprouts it was then,

followed by duck pancake rolls, we decided against a dessert,

after the meal we watched a film from Brazil, Get The Goat, which we both found so funny in a slapstick way,

we followed that with one episode from The Irregulars, loosely based on the gang that Sherlock Holmes employs to do his undercover work, we watched the first of this TV mini series and found it rather good, the costumes and sets we were really well done, it just seemed a shame to bring in people with super natural powers, but there it was, by now Diana was so tired that she went to bed, I watched a couple of Midsomer Murders than I too was off to bed.
