Just had a positive result from a covid test, so the weeklong retreat I'd booked at a Buddhist centre in the Lake District is not going to happen. Ten days self isolation instead.

Thanks TM, I'll just have focus on the £400 I'll be saving by not going. That is if they refund the £80 deposit I paid.....grin

Yes, instead of strolling through an acient woodland path to the coast, having long and meaningful talks in the huge lounge and taking lessons in the stunning World Peace Temple i'll be sampling the deights of Christmas tv at home.

I used the home testing kit, came back negative on the first two tests, but because I knew I was going to be mixing with people at Manjushri, I decide to book a pcr test. That came back positive. I tried the home lateral flow test again today, it was positive.

I got pack of seven lateral flow tests, from the NHS on the internet, I test every two days, it's easy.
