I’ve touched on how nice I find it that celebrities and ‘stars’ have been thrust out of the lime-light this last month or so as finally the media wake up to what most of us knew… that they are almost pointless. I wish the attention were given to every day people who accomplish great deeds… Continue reading Coronavirus 19 – Social Distancing with 99 year old Captain Tom Moore and his multi-million pound fundraiser

Coronavirus Diary 18 – Social Distancing with Typhoid!
One of the things I love doing is studying maps; old and new. Having moved back to just one street away from where I spent my teenage years I’m now able to use the internet to piece together answers to questions that have been bugging me for much of my life but which no-one else… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 18 – Social Distancing with Typhoid!
Coronavirus Diary 17 – Social Distancing with Opera, Fräuleins and the low-skilled!
I was reading this morning that the social restrictions the government have put in place a month ago have been so successful that they are worried on how to convince people to come out again once it is safe to do so. I’d go a step further and say except for the whole Coronavirus, I… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 17 – Social Distancing with Opera, Fräuleins and the low-skilled!
Coronavirus Diary 16 – Close calls and quiet
It’s been a rough few days really. I have been unwell. I’d like to say that I had the virus but I don’t think I did though I suppose it is possible. One of the things about having asthma and food related illnesses is that the symptoms of when they make me ill pretty much… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 16 – Close calls and quiet
Coronavirus Diary 14 – Why thursday’s break the routine
If you’re anything like me then by now you’ve established some sort of routine, even if a very slack and boring one. It’s been over 3 weeks since the official the official notice to not go out unless necessary; 6 weeks since I began properly socially isolating and much longer since life really bore any… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 14 – Why thursday’s break the routine
Coronavirus Diary 13 – Breaking the curfew for a peek over London
You know sometimes you just think you’ll write a 10 minute blog post and then 2 hours later….. If some one had told me 6 months ago that I would be living in a 1830’s house in a village with a raging plague outside and the best chance I’d have of acquiring fresh meat would… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 13 – Breaking the curfew for a peek over London
Coronavirus Diary Supplemental – Self Isolating with a good book!
I wasn’t going to post anything today. Being cooped up inside for week after week and having a work in progress living room where one can live but not yet feel comfortable today offers a rare chance to go in the garden. Last Sunday it was snowing and yet today on Palm Sunday it is… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary Supplemental – Self Isolating with a good book!
Coronavirus Diary 12 – Small steps, big solutions
One of the things about self-isolating when you’re on your own is that there are very limited opportunities to speak and fewer still that anyone might answer back. Yesterday I went to my front door and daringly opened it. There weren’t many people about even by curfew standards. The little school opposite me remains open… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 12 – Small steps, big solutions
Coronavirus Diary 11 – Self-isolating with Soya…. Ugh!
Yesterday was a day of unexpected pleasures; namely a food delivery by a friend. My kitchen is now loaded with enough root vegetables to last a week or two and I also have a chicken, some sausages, 5 gluten free chocolate brownies and a spare pox of porridge oat flakes and my first eggs of… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 11 – Self-isolating with Soya…. Ugh!
Coronavirus Diary 10 – Creatively Self-Isolating
One of the things I love is being creative. I’ve always wanted to be more creative. I’ve written books, penned magazine articles and had the odd television and radio appearance as a nominal ‘expert’ but ever since I creatively started my own business I have had ever decreasing amounts of time to be creative in… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 10 – Creatively Self-Isolating
