I may be early for the good apparition, I'm hearing July 15 to 30 will be optimal for North.

@rachel8 by the way..those stairs in the video are not how you enter the place..they lead up to the "roof",which is actually the top of the hill.

Glad you had a good stay there, obladie -- thanks for posting about it!

Been having some cold/flu symptoms so we went to the drive-in testing thingy not far from us.Only had about a 50 min wait..it works out at about 3 to 4 minutes per vehicle.How those lovely nurses manage to keep their sense of humour through all this is a mystery to me.They are genuine heroes.
The test itself is a slight discomfit..small price to pay for what is achieved,in my humble opinion.Make the effort..do your bit to save the human species.
Results within 72 hrs...updates as they come to hand.

Oh, obladie! I can be praying for you if you'd like. Rest up -- hope you feel better soon. We want you back in full form ASAP : )

@rachel8
Just got the results on the SMS.
All clear.So that's one less thing to worry about.

Obladie, glad your results were clear.

Phew! Now you can relax. Remember to wash your hands frequently so you don't share your cold with Mrs. Obladie : )
Then you can both be well for your birthday and the comet and the split radishes.

I bought Gala apples at the store today.

I'll try to plan how to catch up to @SavageAntarctican in rating before the million pages forum achieves its goal.
