PS - am sure Vlad won't mind the thread derailment.  I am supposed to have a short attention span after all.

Not a problem cherub...
I will write the yarn using all your names, feel free to add to the tale, comment, or critique as we go along...ps I am not received any cheques from youse actors yet.

Hi Annie.  Yes, it's a happy and friendly forum... usually.  I'm sure you'll enjoy it here.

Welcome Annie, I hope you enjoy the forum.  There's a couple of oddballs on here, but the majority of us are pretty normal

Only reason I tested was because I'd arranged to meet somebody. I still had some covid era tests that were abour 6 months out of date so got new from Amazon to confirm. Cheapest they had. They only have a few months life but I still used up the old free ones which still seemed to be working OK.

I never had a temperature more than maybe 0.5C over my norm (which is actually lower than average at 36.9) the second time. Don't remember if I did the first.

Tis often so. I beheld an angel once when I stopped for breakfast in a northern motorway services on the way to a client's site. All interest faded when she spoke to the bloke in front.

Ta.  Will wait until tomorrow to see if it is just a mild cold before taking FTs.

Fingers crossed
