No, not Mum Mary. It was our friend Mary. We had a call from her just before 8.00am today. She had been stung by a wasp in her kitchen and was having an anaphylactic reaction, swelling in arms etc. With ambulance called, Sue and I went straight round to see her. Brilliant paramedics were there […]
My first day of lockdown spent indoors all day. Well apart from going to the garage to workout in my makeshift gym. Spent the morning sorting and thinning some files and cleaning the office window frames. That completes all in the house now. The rain is welcome for the garden but the heating is back […]
Sue and I did Mum’s shopping today. Sainsbury’s is much better now, good distance controls, plenty of stock and fewer than normal numbers of people. Carer Caroline was at Mums, she gave her dinner, which she ate but forgot having it within an hour when we asked her what she had. Short term memory really […]
Hospital deaths down to 418 today, a good sign but still no sign of any lockdown respite as yet. However, looks like the PM will be back at work and taking the lead again this week after his Covid-19 trauma. Today has been probably the last sunbathe day for while. Some rain forecast this week […]

Unfortunately, it looks like the deaths are still increasing. The only glimmer of hope is that there has been a reduction in people going […]
99 yr old war veteran Captain Tom Moore who has raised £24 million through his epic 100 lap walk of his garden, has now joined with singer Michael Ball and the Nurses Choir to record the famous song You’ll Never Walk Alone. He is the oldest person to have reached No 1 in the Hit […]
This normally applies to people who have a job. However, today after Sue and I did a bit of shopping at Frankies, she mentioned that as the window cleaner had called yesterday and did his 6 mthly conservatory roof clean ( essential work??) She thought it would be nice to give the conservatory a spring […]
Still got high pressure with sunshine all day. However, the brisk Easterly wind is very cold. Yesterday I went with Sue on her 2 mile run then I continued up to Coxheath and Boughton Quarries. I ran 8.2 miles in total so very pleased with that. Sue has a floater issue with her eye so […]
Our local Loose Post Office is temporary closed for some mysterious reason so Sue decided that we would walk to Coxheath to post some parcels she has for the grandkids. Once the parcels were despatched we decided to return home via the Greensand Way to Linton. We haven’t done this walk for many a long […]
A lovely sunny day, but chilly easterly wind. This afternoon Sue and I had a gentle ride to see the bluebells in the sunshine. We went down Church Hill then along Chart Rd and back up via East Hall Hill. Sue prefers her old bike to the E Bike I bought for her, so I […]
