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”

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”

I have to say I’m pleased to see the back of 2022. I lost my Dad, Rupert, and I was unfortunately ill most of August/September- but the third course of antibiotics seemed to do the trick. Then, just as I was beginning to feel better Zebedee wasn’t right. I took him to the vets, heContinue reading “2022”
July 2022
The COVID rates seem to be dropping again which is good news (the cynic in me thinks this is probably connected to the schools breaking up). July was a stressful month, starting with a hospital visit, followed by a leak in the bathroom, then of course the heatwave. NHS Inefficiencies I think the NHS isContinue reading “July 2022”

There’s been some increases in the COVID numbers this week, Cambridge are in first place with a 41% increase. Second place goes to the Isle of Wight with an 80% increase – interesting that has happened just after the Isle of Wight Festival… Meanwhile in America they’re going backwards by banning abortion! Which seems incrediblyContinue reading “June 2022”
March 2022
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”
