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 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 2 – Goodbyes but no good grub

Yesterday I went out to see a friend.  My new house is a total dump.  An absolute pig-sty as we say in the U.K.  No cleaning/bathing facilities, no toilet, damp in the floors electric wires everywhere and a near 200 year collection of pipes that seem to do nothing but are there nevertheless. I decided… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 2 – Goodbyes but no good grub

Corona Diary 1 – Crazies on a bus

Given that I am now almost housebound medically and theoretically from Monday possibly legally’ I thought I would supplement my usual posts with a series of almost diary like posts.  Some people have their entire blog composed of such things and I thought given my rather unique situation then I may as well while a… Continue reading Corona Diary 1 – Crazies on a bus
