Though readers might not be aware, WordPress has been pushing another new editor for the last year or two. I’m always one who steadfastly refuses to embrace new technology (did I mention my 1990’s phone!!) but today they have stopped bugging me with prompt screens to use their new editor and instead made it the… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 64 – Up All Night and Social Distance Snowballing

Coronavirus Diary 62 – I love it when a plan comes together!
Some of you may remember that in the first days when everyone lock-down, I took the opportunity to go outside having already been shielding for a month or so. I went off to fully explore my new neighbourhood and found so many attractions so I wrote quite a few posts on them and even… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 62 – I love it when a plan comes together!
Coronavirus Diary 61 – When Social Distancing takes the Pee!
When I was scouting out the new tour Mayfair and Belgravia Walking Tour last week, I visited the The Grenadier Pubwhich I wrote about yesterday, I found something in the toilets which was very much a sign of the times. Of course the social distancing rules mean that we have to stay 2 metres of 6 feet… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 61 – When Social Distancing takes the Pee!
Coronavirus Diary 60: #ExcludedUK Why does my country hate me?
I haven’t worked since February, it’s getting on for 6 months now since I’ve been paid. Despite the government paying out billions to some fantastically good causes and supporting the overwhelming majority of people, 3 million of us are actually not being supported at all. We’re not in it together in any way shape or… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 60: #ExcludedUK Why does my country hate me?
Coronavirus Diary 59 – Finally I have something to sit on!
It’s hard to believe that I moved house on Friday 31st January and on Monday 3rd February at 10am I ordered my armchair and sofa. The advice to most of the planet was if you couldn’t go out then at least you can sit on your sofa and read or watch television for a few… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 59 – Finally I have something to sit on!
Coronavirus Diary 58 – An unfortunate accident!
I made a very rare social outing last week to meet a friend. It wasn’t planned but I had to go to the bank and they happened to live just a minute away so we met up for a hot drink. Staying in the cafe wasn’t an option as it was take-away only, nevertheless we… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 58 – An unfortunate accident!
Coronavirus Diary 56 – My first hug!
In England, last Saturday was known as Super Saturday with the first substantial re-opening of shops and pubs soon after most shops re-opened. Of course none of that interested me in the slightest. It probably shows something of what a simple life I lead and what makes me happy when on an off-chance I… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 56 – My first hug!
Coronavirus Diary 55 – great oaks from little acorns grow
Do you remember a few months ago in my post Coronavirus Diary 28 – Dancing in the rain I purchased a baby Spider Plant? It has been growing over the months and it must be doing well as last week I noticed that a runner and sprouted so I must have been doing something right. Obviously the… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 55 – great oaks from little acorns grow
Coronavirus Diary 54 – Going on the London Underground!
Last week I decided and sort of had to go into London for the first time since the 6th of February to meet with a colleague. It probably wasn’t the best day to go given that it had been hot for a week and I knew the underground would be a whole magnitude hotter. Also… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 54 – Going on the London Underground!
Coronavirus Diary 53 – A nice neighbour calls
I was rather in a state of undress when it happened which is rather typical. For the first time in 5 months in my new home, the door bell rang unexpectedly… ie not a delivery of any sort and I was about to get into the shower. It was two dog walkers who lived in… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 53 – A nice neighbour calls
