Today has been all about the announcement that Boris Johnson was going to make this afternoon and evening. The much anticipated ‘road-map’ out of lockdown. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have all explained bits of what they are doing but this is the one that explains what England will do and what the UK willContinue reading “Day 339”

Day 338
Sunday 21 February 1.15pm What a remarkable day it has been so far? The sun has been out all day, at times illuminating an occasional milky white sky, but the warmth it radiates is felt on the face and in the soul. I did the first grass cut of the back lawn today. I cannotContinue reading “Day 338”
Day 337
Saturday 20 February “It was one of those golden days which every now and again leak out of paradise and drip to earth. Spring had been late in coming, but now it was here with a burst, and the whole world was boiling with the sap of life. Never have I seen such a wealthContinue reading “Day 337”
Day 335
Thursday 18 February It’s 9.30am and I am sitting in my car in the car park of the Colchester United stadium. The blustering wind is gently rocking the car and the broken clouds slide across the sky at pace, allowing the sun to flittingly reveal itself. I’ve just had my first vaccination against Covid-19. InContinue reading “Day 335”
Day 329
Friday 12 February Last day of half term today and we have reached the halfway point of the academic year. I don’t if I have ever known a tiredness like this. We’re all pretty exhausted. The pupils that have been coming onsite have been great and I think will be best placed to cope withContinue reading “Day 329”
Day 319
Tuesday 02 February I am either in a bad place right now or just a bad person. Or maybe I’m just not in tune with the rest of the nation. The emotional outpouring attached to the very sad death of Captain Tom Moore today has left me emotionally unaffected. It’s obviously desperately sad for hisContinue reading “Day 319”
Day 315
Friday 29 January Fifty more days of this daily blog to go. That has really brought home to me how long this pandemic has been going. It really is feeling disturbingly normal and I can’t completely remember how it feels to shake hands or hug someone. Even standing within a couple of meters of someoneContinue reading “Day 315”
Day 313
Wednesday 27 January Yesterday, my Dad got his first dose of the Covid19 vaccination. In twelve weeks time he will receive the second dose. Still no word from the home of Mum’s vaccination, but whilst they have all residents testing positive it’s probably no surprise. The good news is that Mum is still asymptomatic. FingersContinue reading “Day 313”
Day 308
Friday 22 January Good day, bad day, good, bad…and today was a good day. I have been wondering if this up and down feeling is normal, whether others feel like this or if it’s for a more exclusive group. I suspect the former. I am hoping (probably not the right word) that most people fluctuateContinue reading “Day 308”
Day 307
Thursday 21 January I woke to a fuggish feeling this morning, definitely felt worn out after the day and night before. I cannot believe the ups and downs of everything at the moment. January and February have always been my most disliked months, this year I am finding them harder to deal with than normal.Continue reading “Day 307”
