As Russia continue their attack against the Ukraine, COVID seems to be quite widespread (imagine that after ending restrictions!). Knowing of quite a few people locally that have escaped COVID so far, but have succumbed, I’m still being ultra cautious. North Devon are currently 1st in the country with an infection rate of 1449 perContinue reading “March 2022”

Tewkesbury are currently top of the Covid table with a rate of 567 per 100,000, but Covid has well and truly been wiped off the news following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The terrible human cost of this is abhorrent. I heard on the news that there was a 40 mile convoy of Russian troopsContinue reading “February 2022”
January 2022
The COVID infections numbers are generally dropping, Cambridge is currently in the hot seat with 1707 per 100k. Although the cynic in me also knows there is less testing, which of course will lead to a drop in numbers. It seems somewhat bonkers to lift all restrictions when the numbers are so high, it alsoContinue reading “January 2022”
December 2021
Just as the Delta variant was beginning to settle down, boom! we get Omicron! Looking at the stats for my area on 29/12, we have a 124.79% increase in cases this week, now with 1486 per 100,000. As of today (02/01), in the space of 4 days my area has jumped from 60th to 10thContinue reading “December 2021”

It definitely doesn’t look like COVID will be disappearing, Torridge (which is apparently in Devon – I had to look that up!), are currently in number one position with infections a 905 per 100k. We’ve also got the new Omicron variant – hopefully in a couple more weeks we’ll know more about this and theContinue reading “November 2021”
October 2021
Most of England has a seen a drop in COVID cases this week, the cynic in me suspects this is down to half term and reduced testing. Tewkesbury are no 1 at the moment with a rate of 826 per 100,000. My area has dropped to the mid 200’s in the league – but thatContinue reading “October 2021”
September 2021 – Two year anniversary
The Covid rates are increasing again, as I expected, following the schools reopening. Kettering are currently in the hot seat with an infection rate of 852 per 100,000. I received an email from the DHSC last week, telling me that shielding has officially ended. However, I’m still being cautious – if I meet friends, itsContinue reading “September 2021 – Two year anniversary”
10 Things to consider when making your life wheelchair friendly
The Occupational Therapists cover the basics when getting you sent home, for example, you need a ramp and a stair lift (which I had to buy). This however, is just covering the raw essentials, here’s my list of things to consider: WindowsI’ve had to have some windows replaced as I can’t reach to open them. GasContinue reading “10 Things to consider when making your life wheelchair friendly”
Wheels on Fire – July 2021
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 – June 2021
The new Delta COVID variant is causing havoc, just as things were improving yet another highly infectious mutation rears its head. Newcastle upon Tyne is currently in the hot seat with an infection rate of 605 per 100,000 which is a 78.61% increase from the previous week. New Arrival a Netherland Dwarf Whilst I couldContinue reading “Wheels on Fire – June 2021”
