Over the weekend all hell has blown up in the Westminster media bubble due to the ‘loathed’ Dominic Cummings chief advisor to Boris Johnson seeking a hideout in County Durham, 260 miles away from London.

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 38 – Mirrors, Masks and bank robbery!
Yesterday I secured a mini victory in the impossible mission of sorting out a house with no money, no shops and no tradesman. I found a happily foolproof way of attaching things to 200 year old wars and I went on a little wall-fixing frenzy, Paintings, prints, masks, the whole kit and caboodle went up… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 38 – Mirrors, Masks and bank robbery!
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?

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 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
