Another day at the fun factory! Nothing much going on here except for a nice email from our relatives in Australia with a picture of their newly acquired doggie Amigo. Lovely to hear they are all right
Vin is only going out for his daily walk around the block and to see what is going on which isn't much actually. he gets the papers early on and and gaets any news from the shop which isn't much at the moment. He is only going out for the weekly things on Wednesday usually, instead of going out twice at the weekend, so that is better.
The only people seen going through the vilage is a load of cyclists travelling at quite a spped along to the cycle path. Think they should close that to prevent them surely they should not be doing this?
Jane worked eight to eight day on Sunday which was Easter Sunday of course, off yesterday, not sure what she is doing today. Two of her friends/colleagues have the virus, hope they get over it ok.
Jessie is still self isolating in Jane's bedroom which she has really taken to, asleep at the end of her bed and making a right little nest for herself. Normally she comes down in the afternoon to be with her Daddy. Not going out of course and Vin is not letting the cats in from next door either so keeping her safe!
Out for the count!!
Still all the country under lockdown with little movement in our village anyway. just some cuclists out for an Easter ride i suppose, and Vin say three girls out on their bikes yesterday riding around which is a bit irresponsible unless they are from the same family, but they didn't look like it. You do wonder what their parents are thinking!
Good Fridaytoday but no church services going on because of the lockdown of course. I used to hate Good Friday as a child growng up in a Catholic family, it was all doom and gloom and stations of the Cross and long services. No Maundy Thursday ceremony from the Queen this year either, the maundy Thursday money has apparently been sent out by post this year. Bet she is secretly glad about that!
Boris is out of ICU and is back on a ward but being closely monitored we are told. At least that is an improvement. Vin was out last night clapping for the carers and support workers, and he said pretty much the whole street was out. Our jane wouldn't be since she was on her last of four very demanding night shifts. very proud of you our Jane ! Hope you enjoyed your Easter Egg.
Jessie is back on her lovely red blanket at the moment, sleeping her isolation away. Without a care in the world!
I love these pictures of her, she looks great against the red.
Vin has braved Tesco's this morning to go and get the weekly shop. He didn't go on Saturday as he aways did because he thought it would be too busy or Sainsbury's either on Sunday. Terrible situation still, with the numbers rising and not much sign of levelling off yet.
He did the ironing yesterday and says thething is to doone bigthing each day. Good for him!
Jessie is self isolating in the house, there was a vet on this morning sayingtokeep your pets indoors because they could bring something in on their fur, but since our jessie doesn't go out anyway that is quite safe advice for her.
Beautiful sunny day too today, at the moment the weather is warming up quite a lot, and the sun is blazing through the window as I type this. Shame Jessie can't get outin it.
Reclining in self isolation!
Internet very slow at the moment, I suppose the whole world is on the broadband at present with the lockdown.
We had a broadcast from the Queen yesterday which was really nicely done, Bless her. Apparently there were 24 million people watching that, so I guess it got across.
The virus is still hitting quite hard with death toll all over the world really horrific. Most countries are in lockdown except it seems for Sweden which is a law unto itself, they are doing what they want. Whether it is wise or not I don'tknow. The prime Minister is in hospital with the virus admitted last evening, but still said to be running the country from there. Said to be precautionary measure, because his temperature won't go down. Wish him well.
It is indeed a remarkable time for the country..
Jessie was in jane's room this morning but jumped off soon as I came in here, off to see her daddy I suppose.
Who is that disturbing my sleep!
Tootsie day today, so we were up earlyish. Last week he surprised us by coming early so we were ready this week. He arrived a little bit later but were ready anyso all good. Toes looking quite good all padded up now, and done for another week.
Everybody out in the road last night clapping for the essential workers, supermarket workers cleaners porters etc., all those who never get mentioned other than nurses and doctors. For the whole NHS really!
Nice and sunny today,and a bitwarmertoo. At least the rain has gone for nowwhich should dry out the fields ready for planting. Vin has just been out for his daiy exercise round the block. not met many people out as you would expect, he said he walked down to the river Alt , the tide was out and noone around. Funny at the moment, due to the virus people really do seem to be keeping to the guidelines and isolating.
Jessie ran off upstairs when the podiatry man came which she does tend to do, she never likes people coming to the house. Yesterday she had a meeting with her "granny" from over the line. the one she stayed with when her owner had to move her because of her son's bad asthma and allergy to cats. Granny was pleased to see her and took a photo on her phone to show her original owner. Aaah!
Running Off!
Its upwards march, the death toll is terrible 500plus overnight and still rising. We are here at home and only going out for essentials at least Vin is, he goes to the local shop for things like bread and milk etc., and he did make a visit to Tesco yesterday. Mostly for things on his list like cat food, cat sprinkles, cat litter, and cream for her then our thingsfollow! Guess who is the boss in our house!
We are all in "lockdown" in this country as is most of the rest of the world except it seems for Sweden. All big events have been canceled like The Grand National, Wimbledon everything actualy. The last big event on the television really was the races at Cheltenham and it seems quite a lot of people were infected there.
Vin said it was weird going to tesco yesterday because the roads were so quiet and the shop was too actually. No queues to get in or at the tills and people were definitely keeping away from each other. He did really well with the shopping and got everything we wanted and the shelves were well stocked. too.
Our Jessie is carrying on as normal! nothing affects her except for the doorbell going which isn't very often!
Bit out of focus this ne, Jessie keeping an ear out for the doorbell, she is a very good alarm cat really!
Startedearly this morning with a phone call from Bullens to ask about my supplies. Vin explained that he had contacted Coloplast and they were dealing with it, so she said she would ring back when they got the prescription. Then I got moving and the doorbell went, therewas I in the bathroom getting washed and Vin was outside saying the Podiatrist was here! It was indeed, the very nice mark from Thornton, already masked and aproned and waiting for me downstairs. So feet all dressed and repadded and dealt with.
Vin spent yesterday getting the room ready downstairs so at leaast all was niceand clean. Looks like a pre Christmas do!
Jessie of course ran away, she never likes people in the house except for our Jane of course! She gets very worried when anyone new comes to the house.
I'm keeping out of the way I am!
