Good afternoon everyone. Very windy here, and it's a bitter cold wind too, but the sky is blue and the sun's out, so mustn't grumble. 

I think the news last night about the lockdown was very confusing and downright irresponsible and stupid. Allowing people to travel anywhere to exercise, and more often means they'll all be flocking to the beaches and other counties. So Cornwall and Cumbria and other seaside places are going to get crowds and hardly anyone keeps to the social distancing regulations. 

They said they wouldnt change anything until all 5 of their criteria were met, and we've not met any of them yet, so what the hell are they thinking? Another blunder by the Govt. Stand by for the second wave, and I fear it will be much worse than the first. 

England is the laughing stock of the world. Italy and other European countries are looking at us as if we're mad, congregating in large numbers, easing lockdown restrictions too soon, going back to work. 

i'm carrying on as normal, staying home and the only time I"ll be out is if I have to go in an ambulance to hospital as an emergency or to the doctors for an annual review. 

Keep safe everyone.

Good morning everyone.

Its another lovely day here. That lovely weather has helped considerably.

Got some washing to do and out for a walk later.

8 weeks today since we started lockdown. 

Good Morning all It's a very chilly start here, the sun is behind the clouds. His nibs is still asleep so Brodie and I have got peace. Once he's awake it's TV on and noise, lots of monster sneezes and very loud yawns.  He sits in his PJ's in front of the TV all morning watching mindless drivel. Only stirring when I finish washing the dishes and I tell him it's wiping up time. Hazel, I also have concerns about the lifting of lockdown and like you think the 2nd wave will be worse than the first.  I currently go out once a month to collect Brodie's medication and that is it.  Apart from a few irritations, I'm enjoying lockdown.  Have a good day all. 


 

Good afternoon ladies. 
Another lovely day here. I was busy yesterday planting an evergreen winter flowering clematis out the front, and this morning fixed up a trellis out front on the porch and stood a large pot there with a beautiful clematis there to climb up it. It's a summer flowering one, I'm not sure how well it will do there, it never gets the sun but gets plenty of light, and there's always a strong breeze blowing. If it starts to struggle I'll move it to a more sheltered spot out the back. 

Happy Birthday to your mum Starry, thats a great age! Sounds like her birthday will be amazing. 

Cornwall is bracing itself for the onslaught this weekend, tourists. There are already hundreds here from last weekend, goodness knows where they're staying as all the guesthouses and hotels are supposed to be closed as are the caravan sites. So our numbers of virus cases will be sky high in 3 weeks time. 

I think easing lockdown and not enough clarity was way too soon and a huge mistake. And the announcement Boris made on Sunday was totally misleading, confusing and reckless. He made me so angry!

I did the Twitter service yesterday afternoon for my friend in Scotland, there were more attended than I thought there would be. At her actual funeral yesterday there were only 8 people including her partner Tom. Seems really strange she's not here anymore. I'm so glad I didn't move to Scotland now, 

Good morning everyone.

Its a bright, chilly day here.

I've got some washing and a Morrisons Delivery later this afternoon.  We'll fit a walk in somewhere. Paul was saying he was coming over to join us, social distancing, but then he had some work come in to do today, so it could be another day now. The Memory Cafe has a Zoom meeting for carers  this afternoon, so not sure whether I can fit that in or not. The last one was a complete disaster as someone had two connections open so you could hear yourself talk and the whole time was spent trying to sort it. Its been found out what to do should that happen again, but I'm in no rush to dash back in. I'm actually not wanting to talk to anyone now either. 

Sounds like your Mum had a lovely birthday yesterday Starry. Good news about getting someone to do her garden too.
