The sky is oh so blue.

CV 19 The daily record 25.04.20.

Days in lockdown 33.

Well here’s a thing last night our dear neighbours once again have shown total disrespect for lockdown, the NHS and even us by having people around to their house. It has really upset Ian we had a conversation with them and they say that they don’t have it  (CV19 and its only a virus) so don’t see why they cant mix with people that also don’t have it. We tried to tell them that nothing has changed but they don’t see it that way.

The Stay Inn was opened yesterday afternoon and drinks were taken in the beer gardens in Weston Super Mare and Marlow. Due to inclement weather the beer garden in Cornwall was shut and fisherman’s jumpers were the dress code (well for one person).
The sky here yesterday was so blue, it was like being abroad. Lack of aircraft and road traffic is having a really positive impact on the environment and air pollution is right down.

I am a bit happier as I have placed an online order for some plants from a nursery  near Burnham beeches. They are delivering to different postcodes in the area every week and this week it's SL7 hurrah. However they have sold out of compost and manure, I can do a click and collect from the local garden centre. You pay online and they dump it in the car park and you collect it. I will wait and see what Boris has to say tomorrow. It’s probably safer than going shopping which we also have to do tomorrow. (The rose wine took a hammering yesterday afternoon.) But I am also aware that we should not go out unless it’s essential.

Mrs BT continues to brood her eggs in her soft snuggly nest. 10 eggs is the final count.

Another thing worthy of documentation is Dexter actually swam in the sea, after years of coaxing he finally did it. However it looks as though it was a one off.




Steak, salad and new potatoes for dinner.

Other news.

CV fatalities went over 20,000 yesterday.

Oxford Scientists have developed an accurate antibody test. Which gives results in 20 minutes.  This is being heralded as a major breakthrough and will help in getting us back to some sort of normality.

If your neighbours keep flouting the guidelines you might just have to dob them in! This virus is asymptomatic so just because they think they and their visitors don't have have it doesn't mean it's true. I'm cross on your behalf! But I suppose you have got to continue living next door once this is over so t'shard to know what to do.
