Another record number of daily deaths. They continue to rise and all hospitals are at saturation point and medics are really suffering but plodding on, bless them all. It is expected that deaths will continue to rise for a while yet as it takes a few weeks for many severe Covid cases to finish their […]
Today was sunny and a bit warmer so Sue went and I for a bike ride. It was really nice, a round trip and a few challenging hills for Sue. We managed 20.72 miles which I think is the furthest Sue has been on one ride. It seemed like the entire population was out today […]
We had a light covering of snow at 8.00am this morning, an hour later it had turned to torrential rain. Sue and I started our evening shift last night at the surgery. It was a 3 hr shift but interesting. The medics were re-arranging the surgery layout to increase the vaccine output. This involved leading […]
Today’s weather should have kept a few more people at home. That includes me. Sue did her couple of hours school work this morning with Toby, which was OK for a while, but he can’t understand why he needs his times table! However, he has grasped some of the work he did yesterday on Fair-trade […]
The highest number of UK deaths recorded in one day since the start of the pandemic in March last year. Nothing to be proud of there are thousands dying and some people still don’t think it could happen to them or that they could have no symptoms and pass it on to many others. In […]
Stayed indoors most of the day. Did some housework whilst Sue did her online teaching with young Toby. Better response today, he may settle down a bit more when he has his own laptop soon and somewhere to work with less distractions. Sue and I went for a short work in the afternoon. I got […]
It was a bit warmer today so I went for a 7 mile run. I was really enjoying a new route but after about 4 miles I felt a muscle strain starting. I then jogged slowly and even walked a while. Nearly home I always finish running (very slowly) up Old Loose Hill. Today I […]
I have been reading the daily care reports for Mum over the last few days and there are signs that Mum is having a difficult time. She is eating but not regularly which is not good. I expect she is losing weight steadily. It was noted that the carers have to use a standing aid […]
Temperatures hanging around freezing for last few days generally overcast and today was very misty till middle of afternoon when it was bright sunshine. Sue and did our shift at Blackthorn and two hours standing in the cold was enough. I am glad I did the rota on 2 hour shifts and no longer. However, […]
This number of daily deaths now has exceeded the first peak in April. The difference then was it was a peak and then it began to fall. Now this figure is expected to continue to rise. In parts of London 1 in 30 people have Covid and the mayor has declared a “major incident” In […]
