Friday 19 June It is encouraging to read that the government are expecting all children to return to school in September. At the moment only Years R, 1, 6, 10 and 12 can attend and not all of them are choosing to. The schools operate very differently and, especially for the younger children, the warmthContinue reading “Day 91”

Day 90
Thursday 18 June It’s going to be a shorter post this evening. I’m already late in writing this. It’s been a full day, and night. Mabel has been at the vets again today but this time the appointment was a planned one. She has had her tubes done basically, so came home this evening reelingContinue reading “Day 90”
Day 89
Wednesday 17 June So, if you put to one side the fact that, globally, we are in the grip of a viral epidemic and facing years of economic and social turmoil. And, that the earth is warming at an alarming rate whilst we also struggle to reverse the environmental impact of thousands of years ofContinue reading “Day 89”
Day 88
Tuesday 16 June The A12 is becoming noticeably busier each day. Lockdown really feels over, and now, with all of the shops open and schools going back…well…I can’t help but feel a little sad. As I am sure I have already written, I am going to do my absolute best to hold on to thisContinue reading “Day 88”
Day 87
Monday 15 June I felt hungover for pretty much most of the day today. The walk yesterday took it out of me more than I anticipated. It must be just a coincidence that I turned fifty a few weeks ago, it can’t be an age thing, surely? Still it was a memorable walk and oneContinue reading “Day 87”
Day 85
Saturday 14 June We love Saturday morning. A more lazy start to the day with croissant and coffee. It’s another beautiful sunny and warm day. Me and Lisa went into Manningtree this afternoon, then on to the local garden centre. Apart from the occasional face mask you wouldn’t think there was anything different to normal.Continue reading “Day 85”
Day 84
Friday 12 June Today has escaped me really. Got up, went to work, came home, went food shopping, ate dinner, watched tv, went to bed. Final preparations have been made for the Year 10 students coming in on Monday. I think my biggest worry is the staff, as many have not been on site sinceContinue reading “Day 84”
Day 83
Thursday 11 June Worked from home today and despite getting much done the day felt quite flat. Largely, I feel, this was due to the all-day heavy cloud cover and the constant threat of rain, which never came. You can be forgiven for thinking that the lockdown is not in place at the moment. IContinue reading “Day 83”
Day 82
Wednesday 10 June So, first a correction to Day 81. It was a Song Thrush not a Blackbird. I couldn’t see the bird clearly, and although I was pretty sure it was a thrush I couldn’t be certain. That’s quite embarrassing. Maybe, my growing fondness for Blackbirds means I am becoming obsessed with them andContinue reading “Day 82”
Day 39
Tuesday 28 April 4,300 Covid-19 deaths have been recorded in care homes (England and Wales) in the past fortnight. This has angered me especially as my Mum is living in one. The decision of the government to send people back to care homes from hospital without testing them to see if they are carrying theContinue reading “Day 39”
