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 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
Coronavirus Diary 52 -Social Distancing the back garden
Progress on doing up my new but ancient house continues but at a pace even snails would surpass. It’s all down to this virus and I’ve even been thinking of bringing my new front garden bench into the house so I can sit on it and watch television. At the moment to spread out… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 52 -Social Distancing the back garden
Coronavirus Diary 51 – Social Distancing with baby frogs
I never quite know what I will find on my walks and my walk on Friday was particularly eventful. First of all down a country lane I came across a car with its hazard lights flashing and being all prepared to be beheaded and end up in several pieces spread across the hinterland I went… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 51 – Social Distancing with baby frogs
Coronavirus Diary 50 – Of Woodlice and men
I remember reading Of Mice And Men At School, it was in the 80’s when it was politically incorrect to be taught Shakespeare which had lasted centuries and so we read significant work from the early 20th century which now too is seen to have its problems. Maybe it is time for someone to write… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 50 – Of Woodlice and men
