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 32 – Exploring Grims Dyke
Following on from my post on Monday and indeed April and March, I thought I would finish off this walk with a visit to Grims Dyke. Grims Dyke is an iron age or possible older earthworks that at one time stretched for 6 or 7 miles. Some people think it may have been some sort… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 32 – Exploring Grims Dyke
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
Coronavirus Diary 26 – Dying for a hug?
Today is a special day, it is 42 days since I last had any physical contact with anybody and 84 days since I started my own social distancing. It was a great hug from a friend and knowing what was coming we broke the rules and had a special hug. It was a good luck… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 26 – Dying for a hug?
Coronavirus Diary 25 – Planning for the future
I hope everyone is as well as can be in magnificent social isolation. Last night was of course our weekly 8pm Clapping For Carers where we come to our front doors and show our support for NHS workers. It’s my only social event of the week and it is giving the opportunity ever so slowly… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 25 – Planning for the future
Coronavirus Diary 20 – Make do and mend
The current virus pandemic is evoking lots of comparisons with WW2, at least in the U.K. Though the quantifiable loss of lives and poverty doesn’t come close, ironically the virus takes away the one thing that everyone in the 1940’s had, the ability to gain comfort in the company of others. One of the things… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 20 – Make do and mend
Coronavirus 19 – Social Distancing with 99 year old Captain Tom Moore and his multi-million pound fundraiser
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 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
