Monday

After breakfast hubby baked four loaves of sourdough bread that he’s been preparing  since Friday evening, while I got on with my usual Monday work.  After lunch we went into the city to visit my daughter, who came home on Saturday after major surgery last Monday, much to the relief of my son-in-law.  She’s doing very well, has a positive attitude and is determined to make a good recovery. It was really good to see her, as we weren’t allowed to visit while she was in hospital because of Covid restrictions.

One of hubby’s freshly-baked loaves looked a bit like a face, so that’s my blip for today. The bread tastes delicious - it gets better every time.

There are 6,498 new community cases today, and the seven-day rolling average is 7,046 compared to 5,129 last Monday. The number of people in hospital is 487, including 11 in ICU. Today another 8 deaths have been reported, bringing the total number of deaths to 1,567 and the seven-day rolling average to 14.
