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? It’s quite amazing I think that on days like this I would normally be working 18 or 19 hours, walking miles and miles and talking incessantly. To get ill… Continue reading Coronavirus Diary 36 -Surprises, good and bad.
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?
The Cerne Abbas Giant is masking up!
Many people around the world are aware that the chalky plains and hills of southern England are famous for neolithic stone-circles, burial mounds, barrows and chalk-horses but there are few monuments as enigmatic as the Cerne Abbas Giant. He stands at 180 feet tall and is the largest chalk hill figure in these islands. His… Continue reading The Cerne Abbas Giant is masking up!
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 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!
