My Coronavirus Self-Isolation took a step further towards feeling further like a solitary confinement in prison last week as I managed to get an electrician who was able to come into my new but ancient house. Initially I only wanted some very minor work doing but as is the way with things, it all escalated… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 43 – Self Isolating without electricity

Coronavirus Diary 42 – Necessity is the mother of invention
I started Ye Olde England Tours in 2013. As far as I know, I was the first person in Britain to do what I do. In fact I was so pioneering that I was thrown off Viator/Trip Advisor as back then such activities were very tightly controlled on that website and you have very certifications… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 42 – Necessity is the mother of invention
Coronavirus Diary 41 – A life of being nice doesn’t pay.
A few days ago I had a phone call from the Police. We ended up talking for around 90 minutes; not just having a chinwag but we were going through a statement about one of the recent crimes I suffered. I haven’t talked for 90 minutes combined all of the last 2.5 months and was… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 41 – A life of being nice doesn’t pay.
Coronavirus Diary 40 – How to make friends and influence people
For much of the last week I have been out in my back garden. It’s one of the sole parts of the property that I can make progress with given the state of the world at the moment. In a world where electricians can come in my house to sort out my unsafe electrics… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 40 – How to make friends and influence people
Coronavirus Diary 39 – The false dawn
I hope everyone is well. Before I get to my post I read for the first time a news-piece that actually related to me during these virus ridden times. “Solo lockdown is really tough. While people on Twitter and Facebook posted of much-awaited reunions this weekend, and their frustrations at not being able to embrace… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 39 – The false dawn
Coronavirus Diary 36 -Surprises, good and bad.
I’ve had a sore chest and temperature now for 3 days and slightly sore eyes. Another week, another hopefully false Coronavirus alarm though can truly tell? It’s quite amazing I think that on days like this I would normally be working 18 or 19 hours, walking miles and miles and talking incessantly. To get ill… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 36 -Surprises, good and bad.
Coronavirus Diary 35 – You can’t fix stupid!
I’ve made a few mistakes in the last few days. The first one was having grown tired of having my new house full of rubbish that can’t be disposed of, I decided to put some art up on the walls to make some space. As I suspected, it turns out that 200 year old walls… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 35 – You can’t fix stupid!
Coronavirus Diary 33 – Waste Not, Want Not
Yesterday was a bit of a momentous day for me. The giant skip that had been blocking my window to the world was finally taken away after almost 8 weeks. The delay had been that a pneumatic part on the crane which is mounted to the back of the truck had failed and they waited… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 33 – Waste Not, Want Not
Coronavirus Diary 29 – Learning Latin
I’ve always enjoyed languages and being a bit fed up of either staring at my computer, making plans for my work or finding somewhere semi-comfortable to sit in my partly completed house I decided I would put my spare time to good use by deciding to learn a language. I heard about a website and… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 29 – Learning Latin
Coronavirus Diary 28 – Dancing in the rain
It’s raining today as I write this. It was raining before I got up, it will be raining when I eat and still be when I go to bed and if all goes to plan, it might still be raining when I get up tomorrow morning. For some reason I really quite like epic periods… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 28 – Dancing in the rain
