Feeling hot hot hot.

CV19 The daily record Tuesday may 19^th

Lockdown day 57.

The weather today was set to be hot! We need to grab some exercise so venture out relatively early to do a long walk. We do the Copy Farm walk in reverse, so start off going up Oak tree road onto Seymour plain and past the Llamas and guess what they are out. We scoot up a bank to let a couple pass and they tell us in rather a peevish way that they are Alpacas.

Getting across Seymour court road proved to be a bit daunting as traffic was racing past. 6 weeks ago you could have easily walked down the middle of this road no problem. We follow that track through the wood at the end of Seymour court lane and then up the steep track to Copy farm. Walking down the hill looking over the valley into Munday Dene is a real treat such a beautiful spot and peaceful too, not many people about walking.

We have to wait for the traffic to pass as we cross back over Seymour court road further down. We do not like this return to normal, the pace of life is picking up. We are not on the current flight path as the wind is coming in from the West, so no news on planes arriving.

A plant nursery has posted that they are opening up, I have been waiting for this as I need some decent plants we may venture out that way on Friday.

I must read the start of this diary episode and see how things have evolved. I know the anxiety has changed its gone from fear of being ill, very ill or dying or people you know dying, to fear of normality and every day pressure. I know we don’t have any pressure only what we bring on ourselves and I am a champion at that. I am getting flashes of anxiety but dont really know waht is the cause.

After returning home we spend the afternoon, nest watching one of the BT’s has fledged or so we think. Well there are only 2 left and big bruiser is not there.  The two remaining still have bald patches on their necks and a bit on their backs so not sure how ready they are. There is a lot of wing testing and both are now out of the main dent in the nest and hopping around inside. It is extremely hot and at 6.30 in the evening whilst we enjoy a Rhubard G&T (Thanks Joyce) it is 26 degrees.

BBQ Pork Chop, Jacket potato and rainbow slaw for dinner.

Great excitement tomorrow our green bin is going to be emptied. Ist time for 8 weeks or so. Food waste is still not being sorted and has to go in with the main rubbish. Not that we have much in that line.

We are still mainly staying at home and staying safe. People are still out every morning running and taking exercise along the street. The traffic this morning around 8 was much busier than normal and people seem to have forgotten we have speed limits.

Other points.

The Daily mail is back to mainly the usual scandal and celebrity rubbish.

Still grave doubts on whether schools should reopen on 1^st June.

Captain Tom has been given a Knighthood.

 The FTSE closed a fraction down but still over 6000.
