Ironically, it was 4 years to the day I left hospital following my 4 month stay, that I moved into my new bungalow. Yes, the move was stressful, but the removal team where great and I was in (with all my boxes) by 1pm. It was a startling contrast to that day 4 years agoContinue reading “5th September 2023”

August 2023
As I write this, surrounded by a sea of boxes, I fully understand why people say moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do. As much as I had built plenty of contingency into my plans, I didn’t expect what has gone wrong, and the subsequent delays, which sent my bloodContinue reading “August 2023”

I’m delighted that the ramp is now in place so I can easily get in without any help! There’s quite a bit of work already taken place: Plugs installed at a better height for me (just in the lounge and main bedroom). Wall lamps in the lounge installed, so I can change the bulbs! TheContinue reading “July 2023”

Sorry for the radio silence, there has been lots going on behind the scenes. Firstly, let me introduce Dougal. I got Dougal for a rescue, he is 2 years old and he is such a sweetheart- spends his evening curled up asleep on my knee. Let the works begin! I’ve bought a bungalow! Sadly, I’veContinue reading “June 2023”

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”

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”

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”
