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 […]

On top of the horror of Covid, yesterday some pro-Trump supporters broke into the Capitol and made their way into the Senate chamber. One woman was shot dead and there were three other deaths. Over 60 Trump supporters forced their way in before being brought under control, but it took 4 hours. Trump had made […]
Nearly 10 months on and we have the highest number of deaths since the pandemic started and we now have over 30,000 in hospital with the virus leaving the NHS front line workers in a desperate state. Parts of Kent have had well over 1000 new cases today and Maidstone is not far behind on […]
Once again all records have been broken, that’s 1 in 50 people in the UK now have the Covid virus. Desperation now as all hopes hang on the lockdown and vaccinations. There have been 1.3 million vaccinations but that is over nearly a month. However, more hubs are opening up now the Oxford vaccine is […]
