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 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

Coronavirus Diary 7 – I may well be going mad, well more mad anyway.

How is everyone? We all still here? That’s good. As I thought would be the case, some old fashioned values and community spirit have been returning. I’ve been penned inside my home for a month or two really on top of the official 12 week ban I have on going outside except in dire emergencies.… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 7 – I may well be going mad, well more mad anyway.

Coronavirus Diary 6 – The state owes me thousands, why don’t they know who I am?

It’s been a long day or so. As I rush head-first towards bankruptcy I attempted to make use of a minor law change to allow people such as myself claim just over £90 a week, in stark contrast to everyone else who can claim up to almost £3,000 a month. I waited on line for… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 6 – The state owes me thousands, why don’t they know who I am?

Coronavirus Diary 4 – From Boris with love.

I’m a bit cold today as I write this. Despite it almost being April, it’s only about 6 degrees C outside (42F) and I am a bit nippy especially as the windows have been ajar since 7am to let some fresh air in and I generally only have the house heated to about 17 degrees… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 4 – From Boris with love.
