Today is the day after 6 months of campaigning, witty insults, cutting comments and deliberate government discrimination and impoverished ness; I get to meet with a senior Cabinet Minister to plead my case and those of 3 million others #ExcludedUK I’m sure I will be politely listened to and ignored as no-one really cares but… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 68 – Today I will be meeting with Oliver Dowden, MP and Cabinet Minister

Coronavirus Diary 65 – Social Distancing at the Cinema with a blockbuster (Tenet) movie review
Just before moving, I got myself an annual cinema card as going to the Pictures is my favourite pastime. I thought I’d move house and finally get to go to unlimited movies, cricket matches, Theatre productions. None of that is likely to really happen until after the winter I am sure, Now, one way or… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 65 – Social Distancing at the Cinema with a blockbuster (Tenet) movie review
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 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
