Coronavirus
Yesterday I did a lone ride on my bike. Despite some recent heavy rain the weather was pretty good. I ventured out to Brenchley and then enjoyed some hilly country lanes back towards Goudhurst. In no particular hurry I stopped to take some photos along the way. The River Beult at Hunton looked lovely […]
The Govt has met it’s arbitary target to complete 100,000 virus tests per day.. All good stuff hope they can keep it up so they can monitor the rate of spread of the disease much better. South Korea have had no new cases after concentrating on testing. At the other end of the scale madman […]
After his period of recovery Boris is back at work and leading the daily update on BBC. He tells us that the UK has reached the peak of the pandemic but the The Chief Medical Officer was quick to remind us that we are far from the end. The lockdown will continue until all the […]
No, not Mum Mary. It was our friend Mary. We had a call from her just before 8.00am today. She had been stung by a wasp in her kitchen and was having an anaphylactic reaction, swelling in arms etc. With ambulance called, Sue and I went straight round to see her. Brilliant paramedics were there […]
My first day of lockdown spent indoors all day. Well apart from going to the garage to workout in my makeshift gym. Spent the morning sorting and thinning some files and cleaning the office window frames. That completes all in the house now. The rain is welcome for the garden but the heating is back […]
Sue and I did Mum’s shopping today. Sainsbury’s is much better now, good distance controls, plenty of stock and fewer than normal numbers of people. Carer Caroline was at Mums, she gave her dinner, which she ate but forgot having it within an hour when we asked her what she had. Short term memory really […]
Hospital deaths down to 418 today, a good sign but still no sign of any lockdown respite as yet. However, looks like the PM will be back at work and taking the lead again this week after his Covid-19 trauma. Today has been probably the last sunbathe day for while. Some rain forecast this week […]
No sign of improvement yet. 813 hospital deaths today from Covid-19 and the total is now over 20k. The Chief Medical Officer had been hoping to keep the figure below that. Unfortunately, it looks like the deaths are still increasing. The only glimmer of hope is that there has been a reduction in people going […]
99 yr old war veteran Captain Tom Moore who has raised £24 million through his epic 100 lap walk of his garden, has now joined with singer Michael Ball and the Nurses Choir to record the famous song You’ll Never Walk Alone. He is the oldest person to have reached No 1 in the Hit […]
This normally applies to people who have a job. However, today after Sue and I did a bit of shopping at Frankies, she mentioned that as the window cleaner had called yesterday and did his 6 mthly conservatory roof clean ( essential work??) She thought it would be nice to give the conservatory a spring […]
