About Me

So it’s been a bit of a week. The health secretary resigned and let’s be honest there were some amazing memes made all about that situation which popped up very quickly after on Twitter.  We’ve heard the news that lockdown easing again probably won’t happen before 19th of July. After some people would have liked…

So another week has passed, I have to admit it has kind of passed without me noticing. I’m not sure what has or hasn’t happened.  Of course, we have another few weeks in step 3, rather than step 4 and rates are going back up again. I also get to find out today if I…

So step four of lockdown easing has been put back, we all saw that coming I think. It’s a shame, but we also need to protect people. After all, easing restrictions too early could see a big wave again.  We have still come a long way since Christmas, with so much more open to people…

It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster week. For the first time since the pandemic started, we had 0 daily deaths one day. However, this has been followed by a daily uptick in reported cases. I guess the rise was to be expected with places opening and the delta variant becoming the dominant strain here…

So here we are in June! I can’t believe how quickly this year seems to be going by. The weather has definitely taken a turn for the better and it has been nice to get the washing out on the line and all dry. Rates are slowly going up again over here in England, but…

Right now I am struggling with blogging as you might have noticed. I’m still struggling with the after-effects of being so ill, while also having a lot of appointments to attend about both my mental and physical health. So I’ll be honest a lot of the rest of my time is being taken up by…

Gosh, it seems a while since I did a Life in a Lockdown post. I had to take the past two weeks off, as I’ve been in hospital and then recovering (a little). I will in the long term write a post about being in hospital during a pandemic as I’ll be honest it is…

There is definitely a mix of feelings in the air at the moment. It seems like a mix of relief around being allowed out a bit more mixed with anxiety about rates. We can only hope that numbers don’t start to go up again, however, with the news that there is another new variant that…

So the second step on the pathway to reopening has happened. Of course, that meant people across England queued from the early house to get into shops or a pub garden.  It astounded me the lengths some people went to. However, I hope those who needed to get to shops managed to without fuss. I…

With the world starting to open around us, we are all looking forward to seeing people once more I think. Of course, Boris Johnson announced only yesterday that the roadmap for England will be going ahead as planned at the moment. That means that next Monday non-essential shops can reopen, people can go to a…
