This morning I set off on a decent distance run. After about two miles the forecast “light drizzle” became a torrent for the remainder of the run. Westerhill, became a rivulet as I run down it and from then on I was soaked. Fortunately, I wore my lightweight cycling waterproof so I kept reasonably warm. […]
We have started to dare to look at the possibility of visiting the villa in Spain in September. Still rather ambitious as we feel that some precautions and restrictions in both countries will still be in force then. However, EasyJet are showing flights and if we want to use our voucher from last year’s cancelled […]
Yes snow has arrived but not in Maidstone, just a bit of early sleet , then some rain then just cold and dull. However, in Reading and as far south as Beckenham there was enough snow for the grandchildren and their parents to enjoy being away from home- learning and computers. We woke late this […]
After surviving her fall sometime ago, hospital treatment and a new hip, she had to endure isolation after hospital, which she hated and made a fuss. Then she settled after they moved her room nearer to the nurses station so they could keep an eye on her. I was allowed to visit for sometime which […]
News today that the new Covid variant which started a few weeks ago in Kent is more deadly than the original. It is more contagious as it is now right across the country but it is also accounting for the great increase in deaths. Hospitals and staff are struggling to cope whilst more are dying. […]
Today has been a mixed bag of news and things. My brother Malc and Anne have moved to their new flat by the sea. Hope it has all gone well, I won’t disturb them by ringing yet. A bit of sunshine this morning so did a 5.5 mile run. Despite cold wind my pace was […]
Deaths reach a new daily record high of 1820 but new cases locally still falling. Vaccinations in UK now over 4 million just short of the Govt target. On top of all this the north of the country has been hit by a big storm with bad flooding and in some areas heavy snow. We […]
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 […]
