Well, July saw “Freedom Day” which felt rather bonkers considering the rates were spiralling. I’ve also known of more people get COVID this month, than in the last few months. Although, the closure of the schools for summer has seen the numbers drop, Lincoln are currently top of the list with a rate of 717Continue reading “Wheels on Fire – July 2021”

Wheels on Fire – May 2021
Unfortunately the COVID cases seems to be rising again, top spot currently held by Blackburn and Darwen, with an infection rate of 432 per 100,000, which was a 21% increase on the week before. In my area we’re in the 0-3 cases category where they don’t publish the data, hopefully it will stay that way.Continue reading “Wheels on Fire – May 2021”
4th May 2021 – Two Year Anniversary
t’s 2 years today since my life changed. I hear people talking about COVID being life changing – and I generally think, no it isn’t! Whilst life isn’t a competition about who has the worst hand, having to adapt to every fragment of your life changing beyond recognition is hard. That said, I’m lucky toContinue reading “4th May 2021 – Two Year Anniversary”
April 2021- Accessibility Challenges (again!)
The COVID rates are reducing further, the highest is Selby with an infection rate of 109 per 100,000, although they are way above the rest of the country given the second highest is Barnsley at 59. In my locality we actually had the last 2 weeks without any positive results – long may that continue.Continue reading “April 2021- Accessibility Challenges (again!)”
Wheels on Fire -March 2021
Well, it’s now over a year since we began the first lockdown. In the early days I thought it was just a storm in a teacup, whipped up by the media, then it became obvious that wasn’t the case. There has been slight rises following the schools reopening, but logic also says if you areContinue reading “Wheels on Fire -March 2021”
Wheels on Fire – February 2021
As it stands the infection rate is very low – the highest place is currently Corby with a rate of 294 per 100,000. My locality last week had a low of 9 cases, although I am concerned about what might happen when the schools reopen in another week. I’m really hoping that the cases don’tContinue reading “Wheels on Fire – February 2021”
October 2020
The COVID situation is getting more intense, my area and surrounding counties being classed as Tier 3, although I see so many people not following the “guidance”, I’m not hugely surprised to see that the plans for another lockdown have now been leaked. Anyway, Happy Halloween! Introducing Rupert I would like to introduce my newContinue reading “October 2020”
September 2020
Well, we’re back in local lockdown (again!) – still bizarre rules. Its fine to go shopping in a mask but not fine to sit in my garden and talk to anyone (my neighbour jokingly suggested we removed a fence panel then we could have a chat from our own gardens). Given the infection rate isContinue reading “September 2020”
5th September 2020 – A year since I left hospital
Well, it is a year today since I was discharged from the hospital, following my accident. It was lovely to be home, especially sleeping at night without buzzers going, and of course being reunited with Paddington. It was also a difficult time. Hardly any adaptions had been done, the stairlift was literally installed a coupleContinue reading “5th September 2020 – A year since I left hospital”
July 2020 – Accessibility and Hedgehogs
The COVID restrictions were lifting, and it was lovely to have a few trips out – including visiting my local pub for lunch – happy days! Then on Thursday – local lockdown hits! I’m on the border of Greater Manchester, ironically my local authority had the smallest number of cases and even with the increaseContinue reading “July 2020 – Accessibility and Hedgehogs”
