I don't know much about the pox since I had them 100 years ago and so did my kids but isn't there some sort of incubation period where they are are contagious before you know they have them and just a few days after they appear?

Honestly I wouldn't worry about it since you already had them but that's just me - also you are either going to get shingles or not I don't think that is an issue right now. We can't get overexcited about every thing that might happen or no one would ever leave the house.

Here I googled - you should worry before hand (unfortunately who could know?) but not after 5 days later:

How long is a person with chickenpox contagious?
Patients with chickenpox are contagious for 1-2 days before the rash appears and continue to be contagious through the first 4-5 days or until all the blisters are crusted over.

My oldest daughter is 30 now but when 6 got chicken pox .With her teachers advice I kept her in the house with the shades pulled and she got it again when she was 8 .Full case . Dr. said , because the first time she had it it couldn't come all the way out without the sun and exposure to light .I didn't keep her sheltered at the latter time and she got it all out . I know it's late on the date here but she did get twice .

I didn't know it gets that hot in the UK. The heat can make it tough for sure. We usually get a week or two of over 110 F (43 C), but for the most part the summer is 90-100 F (32-38 F)
TX is a blast isn't it! LOL

Take care and try to stay cool! - Dave
