It is now reasonably clear that our heavy colds are Covid related. Jackie and Becky were about three days ahead of me and are rather better today.
I am still not up to much, but I have posted https://derrickjknight.com/2022/04/04/a-knights-tale-122-the-thames-in-south-oxfordshire/

This evening we dined on Becky’s roast chicken, tasty tuna/pasta and potato salads. Again no-one imbibed
Dinner looks delicious. Hope you all get well soon. Did you get tested?
Jackie and Becky showing progress is certainly encouraging. We wish you all well. (And the table fare looks delicious.)
Thank you so much, Maj and Sher
So glad that at least two of you are getting better. Now it’s your turn to shine, Derrick. 🙂
Thank you so much, Sylvia 🙂
So sorry to hear that you are all under the weather – but glad that Jackie and Becky are on the mend. Hoping you will soon be feeling much better too, Derrick. Your supper looks perfect to help with recuperation.
It was a supper perfectly designed for the purpose by Becky, who, even two or three days ago would have been too ill to do it, Emma. Thank you very much.
I hope you start feeling better as well. The supper looks like the perfect light fare when people are feeling under the weather.
Thank you so much, Liz. It was
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Hope your household is fully back into good health soon.
Thanks very much, Mrs W
You’re welcome.
Just take it easy and get well soon, Derrick.
Thanks very much, John
Oh dear! Wishing everyone a speedy recovery. Those hot toddies are great for colds but unoroven in treating Covid.
Thanks very much, Sheree
Take care. Recovery should not be rushed.
Point noted, Tootlepedal. Thank you very much
So sorry to hear this. Glad you are all heading in the right direction to being well again.
The food looks yummy and good for the body and soul.
Please rest and get well.
(((HUGS)))
Thank you so much, Carolyn. It is good that I still have enough of the river bank to substitute for the forest for a few more days. X
That’s good, indeed. But, please be sure to rest.
Will do X
Get better soon, Derrick! I’ve never heard of Salad Cream, it must translate as Salad Dressing over here.
We have it in Australia also, John. It’s more like a sharp tasting mayonnaise, to my taste buds.
That’s right, Yvonne. Flo and I like the vinegar in it, so Becky put it on the table.
It is a Heinz version of mayonnaise with the added piquancy of vinegar. Thanks very much, John
Gosh, you folks make sure to take it easy and fully recuperate. It’s good you have been immunised, so you didn’t get the full blast of that virus.
Thank you so much, Yvonne
Have you all been tested, Derrick? My husband also had a cold last week and went into a panic attack because we had been expecting grandkids to visit, but I convinced him to get tested, and he was negative. Just a cold; and I wish you the same.
Thank you so much, Dolly. It is over a week since the last tests – one negative, one positive. Whether we have it or not the advice is the same – stay indoors if you can and see it through – not much point in a test.
Oh dear! I’m sorry to hear this, Derrick. Please get good rest. I’ll keep you in my prayers. xo
Thank you so much, Jill
If all of you do, indeed, have Covid, I wish you a full recovery without any lasting aftereffects.
Thank you so much, Rosaliene
Please take excellent care and get well soon! Thanks for keeping us updated.
Much appreciated, JoAnna.
I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve all been ill, Derrick. I hope you are on the mend.
Thanks very much, Alys. I was the last to succumb and have a few more days to go
I hope the days pass quickly.

Here, it’s allergies that are raging through the community. The symptoms are distressingly like a cold, but there’s nothing for it but antihistamines and an early end to tree and grass pollen. I hope your discomfort ends much earlier!
Thank you so much, Linda
Hope you feel better soon. That food does look wonderful.
Thank you very much, Gary
Get well soon!
Thanks very much, Laurie
Get well soon, Derrick!
Thanks very much, Bob
Sending my best wishes to you, Jackie and Becky for speedy recoveries.
Thank you very much, Susan
I hope you don’t really have COVID, but it has now reached the stage where most people know someone who has. We have a number of people isolating in our complex. They complain of debilitating tiredness, and have discovered they have to stop trying to fight that and just collapse.
Yes, Gwen. It is almost certainly the `Omicron variant which is now rife over here. Thanks very much
Oh I am sorry for you Derrick, and Jackie and Becky. Even if it does not appear as serious as earlier variants – or the vaccinations are taking the edge off – it’s not something pleasant, either on the body, or your frame of mind.
Thanks again, Gwen
I’ve been harbouring a sneaky feeling that COVID was trying its luck. I join the rest of the readers in wishing you all a full recovery. Hopefully you will be able to move about s-l-o-w-l-y and get on with everyday things. Just don’t push it.
Thank you so much, Anne
Sending good wishes to you all.
Thank you very much, Rupali
well everyone has said but I’ll say – take it easy – rest as much as possible – but I’m sure you will all be doing that….
Thank you very much, Catherine
I did wonder if it was COVID. I hope you are all feeling better soon. Sending all of you good thoughts.
Getting better, Merril. Many thanks
A good healthy meal there – take care of yourselves!!
Thanks very much, GP
I hope everyone feels better soon. Get plenty of rest and enjoy that wonderful meal you have displayed.
Thank you very much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Oh gosh! Covid! Do take care of yourselves. Get well soon!
Thanks very much, Joycee. The milder version
Please get well soon, Derrick, Jackie and Flo! Your dinner looks good and restorative. Rest up.
All somewhat better today, Lavinia. Thank you very much from us all
So glad you are all starting to feel better. Hugs all around.
Thank you so much from us all Jodie XX

All digits crossed for your swift recovery, and no ‘long-tail’.
Thanks a lot, Widders
That is such a disturbing occurrence. Please take a lot of rest, all of you there. Sending my heartfelt wishes for your homestead, my friend.
Thank you so much, Uma.
The table looks great! That’s my favorite sort of meal. Glad, too, you are all doing better. Colds are such a nuisance.
Thanks very much, Doug
Hope all is well now!!
At least you saved money on the wine budget while fighting that bug.
Indeed. Thanks very much, AnneMarie
I hope you’ll get better soon! Luckily the ladies are feeling a bit better! Dinner looks delicious ?
Thank you so much, Ribana
Darn virus. May you be well sooner than later.
Thanks very much, Cynthia
You are aware by now that the reason you didn’t get better sooner is because “no one imbibed.” Right? Soon as you added a bit of vino to your meal, you started to improve, right?
Sadly, I’m still totally off vino, Jan. Thanks very much
Well shucks, Derrick, I am so sorry. I was being glib and it didn’t work! My condolences! I am praying you are back to 100% very soon and can go back to enjoying life as normal.

I am sorry that you are all under the weather again. Your supper looked delicious. I hope you were all able to enjoy it. ?
Thank you so much, AnneMarie. All well, now
