CV19 Saturday 16th May 2020.
Day 54 of lockdown.
A bright day but a cool breeze, lovely and warm when the sun is out but too cold to sit out if it’s behind a cloud.
We catch up on some household chores in the morning and decide that at lunchtime we feel the need to go out for lunch. Well that can’t happen so we do something very unusual for us and order a takeaway. We choose a calzone pizza from Da Luca and its ready in 20 minutes. We sit in the kitchen and enjoy it with a glass of red wine and some salad. It was delicious, different and a treat.
The Stay Inn was open for business but only the beer garden in WSM was open as it was cold in the rest of the country. Jon had to work again on a Saturday but joined in later on.
Today was supposed to be the Eurovision song contest which of course had to be cancelled but they still dedicated an enormous amount of viewing time to it.
The remaining Blue Tits are growing fast their eyes are open and they are quite feathered up now. However this morning there appears to be only 2 left.
Nothing else to report today, as we don’t venture out much at weekends.
We had beef Ragu made from the left over short ribs with spaghetti for dinner.
Other points of note.
Boris says that he wants UK to get back to near normal by July. This does depend on the public abiding by the lockdown rules.
468 more deaths were announced yesterday taking the total to 34,466.
PM has pledged £93m for a manufacturing vaccine lab, which is to be fast tracked a year ahead of plan.
There is still disagreement as to when schools should go back.
I am increasingly confused by what is going to happen. Open schools don’t open schools, back to normal by July, No travel for the foreseeable future. I think the best thing is not to read anything or listen to the news as it just confuses us/me. We are all searching for an end to this and at present there isn’t one so I need to stop looking for answers and get on with it.
Here are some of Ians photos to make up for the lack of content today.
