Re: BLOKES THREAD-aimed at blokes-shielas welcome.

Just thought I'd share something stupid I did. 

Makes me have a lot more sympathy for some ebay users, I know how they feel now.๐Ÿ˜…

 

About a month back, I booked a hotel for London. Friend recommended the President and I had a look, it seemed okay, is part of a small chain by Imperial hotels, I think it is.

Some one night I get online, open it at President, click the book now tab and proceed to book 2 rooms.

Took extraordinary care to get dates right, credit card details right and so on (as I was booking for us and a friend). I tell everyone we are booked in to the President.

 

Fast forward a few weeks and notice the  money withdrawals are in the name of the Royal National and it seems to have a different address. 

Seems that okay, I was looking at the President and pushed the book now tab but then on next page there was another small tab in top left corner and you had to again choose hotel.

 

Luckily, it is just down the road a bit (all their hotels are in a close cluster) and was a few dollars cheaper. Thank goodness I found out now though and didn't lead the troops into the wrong hotel.๐Ÿ˜š

Re: BLOKES THREAD-aimed at blokes-shielas welcome.

As Springy says, hit and miss with Covid.

 

Same room?  No.   Just breathing is spreading the bug.  That's why there was a 1.5 metre distance.

 

When I had it, I isolated in the loungeroom.  Only went to other parts of the house when His Lordship wasn't there, (he spent his time in his man-cave, lol) and I always wore a mask when venturing out of the loungeroom.   Slept on the couch.

 

I sprayed a lot of Glen 20 around on surfaces, and in the air.

 

He never caught it.....but that could be coincidence.   IDK

 

 

While I'm here, I'm now eating normally, so 'crisis over'  ๐Ÿ˜

Re: BLOKES THREAD-aimed at blokes-shielas welcome.

Assuming you are both vaccinated, I wouldn't worry too much Dom. There are several flu variants around that seem to be affecting people far worse than covid this season.

 

I have been exposed several times (friends ringing a couple of days after lunch or dinner with them to say they have tested positive) but the only time I got it, was after a flight to NZ with my son a couple of years ago. He had a mild but annoying cough and when he tested himself (we had free testing kits from the airport) he was positive. I had no symptoms at all  but also tested positive. Because it was a couple of years ago, we self isolated. Now days  I don't think I would self isolate if I had no symptoms although I would wear a mask if I had to go out.

Given she does not have the flu symptoms - would we all be OK in the same room - she's not spluttering all over the place.


 No no no no!

 

Not in the same room. Thatโ€™s the way to catch it; she doesnโ€™t need to be sputtering. Your poor daughter is going to have to be confined to solitary. (So to speak.)

 

Separate utensils, separate toilet, etc.

 

 

 

PS: Donโ€™t let her sing.

 

PPS: How would she feel about being in a negative pressure bubble?

 

PPPS: Okay, it doesnโ€™t have to be a bubble.

 

 

Iโ€™m hoping you donโ€™t catch it, and I hope your DD recovers asap.

Re: BLOKES THREAD-aimed at blokes-shielas welcome.

Lovely here - warm.

 

She's being a very good girl - keeps to herself - wears a mask when she ventures out of her room - takes wipes to cleanse everything she may touch.

 

Begs a question though - you don't know you're positive till tested.

 

She came home Friday night - spent all day Saturday rampaging with the vacuum cleaner - ( did ask her what she was on ) - cause I wanted some - LOL - the symptoms didn't appear till during Saturday night.

 

So she had touched everything in sight - and I gather one is contagious if one tests pos - but have done the yards anyway.

 

So far so good - well - it's only been a couple of days - so we shall see if either of us have contacted.

 

Other than this - now everything has had a dose of Dettol Stuff - what's left - so binging on ' The Perfect Couple ' - it's not ' Outlander ' - but just OK.

 

Hope all are well.

 

Springy - leaving tomorrow for the big jaunt - how I envy you - don't forget those plug thingys - for Europe.

 

How goes it Stawks - vegy soup still a go??

 

Countess - she laughed when I forbade her to sing.

Re: BLOKES THREAD-aimed at blokes-shielas welcome.

All good here, Dom.

 

Daughter took us both out to see a show at the nearby local Community Centre called Tap Pack - a bit of a take on the Rat Pack.  A few Sinatra songs, Sammy Davis Jnr type of tapping.  That sort of thing.  Was a good show.

Had dinner out, so all good in the tummy department here.

 

 

Am making chicken burgers for dinner.  Haven't cooked anything for a loooong time.

I am just watching the presidential debate. I think Harris sounds confident and knowledgeable and the debate is more interesting than the last one... Sadly I have to go back to work soon.

I hope everybody is OK! I have been very busy with many projects.

Re: BLOKES THREAD-aimed at blokes-shielas welcome.

I don't understand why she keeps saying all the the things she will do when she is president when she can do most of them now. Bit like saying to your partner I will change when we get married and your partner saying how will things be different then when you could make the change now.
