Lifeless

Both Lorraine and I feeling lifeless and unwell this morning, Lorraine sounding a bit like Barry White. Quite a bit of Covid about at the moment so it was worth using up our last tests. Both negative. We slept in till ten, and dozed more this afternoon too. Steve texted to say he had a bug that floored him for a day, but is now repairing. I hope we have that one. I finished Carlo Rovelli's The Order of Time. Immediately ordered another short work by him, Seven Brief Lessons on Physics. Another chapter of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader after we'd crept off to bed. 

Also attended an Understory Conversation, which required me to sit in front of my screen and listen mostly. which was, as ever, interesting. I posted to Mariscat Sampler to Charlotte a week ago, from the post office with a first class stamp, which has never arrived. It adds to a list of wifi, trains, buses etc and other things linked to communication that have been a bit haywire lately. Astrologers would call it Mercury in retrograde, but I don't believe any of that nonsense. Or do I? 

Profoundly happy I didn't have to work today, or make excuses to anyone.
