Ben my eldest is 20 today. 20! I know, hard to believe! Along with millions of others he is having a birthday in the house. He is making the best of it, but it is not the same as spending it with his friends and girlfriend. He did however point out that he had plannedContinue reading “10/04/2020 My Son’s Birthday”

09/04/2020 Not sure I want to speak too soon, but…
Yesterday physically I felt dreadful. The only good thing yesterday was Doris’ Wholehearted Book Club, the interaction on their really lifted my spirits. It really did put a smile on my face. For a couple of hours I didn’t really care how crap I felt and that it had been 15 days since my symptomsContinue reading “09/04/2020 Not sure I want to speak too soon, but…”
08/04/2020 Apart from the book club, today has been a blur
I woke up this morning with a tight chest and a headache (so what is new).

07/04/2020 Hmmph!
Well let’s start again tomorrow! I have felt washed out and fed up today. My cough has returned with a vengeance and driven me insane. I had a bit of a wobble this morning.

06/04/2020 First day back at work
After nearly 2 weeks I went back to work today. Last night I had a fitful sleep, and by 5 am I was wide awake. It was a mixture of excitement and trepidation.

03/04/2020 On the up slope
Well I have woken up this morning albeit very early starting to feel normal after 10 ten days. My cough is now infrequent and the chest pain is diminished.

Feeling battered and bruised
Today is day 9 of my quarantine, and I am feeling better, my cough was less aggressive overnight. I now feel battered and bruised, I feel breathless and my chest really hurts this morning.

01/04/2020 My faith in humanity is confirmed
What a truly lovely bunch of people we all are. Over the past week I have witnessed how kind and compassionate people are.

All of them wishing me well and showing genuine concern for me.Continue reading “01/04/2020 My faith in humanity is confirmed”
