Mr Blackbird

The good news is that my PCR test came back negative - hurrah! The only problem is that I still feel pretty lousy. The cold has travelled down to my chest now and I am barking like a seal. I am also rather breathless: popping up the steps to check the sunrise this morning felt like climbing a Munro!

At lunchtime I hunted for a blip in the back garden. Here is Mr Blackbird on Mr hazelh's bird table.

The rest of the day I sat at my computer, working my way through the unending to do list. The best part of the day came at midday when I spoke to Leo on a conference call. We now have a firm plan for the publication of our co-authored journal article. We're going to aim high and see what happens.

Exercise today: not a hope!
