We were given the impression it was going to be a nice day today it was ok but nothing special here anyway and its not going to improve over the weekend the bloody rain is back again which is a pain in the backside. I am a bit worn out after the walk yesterday it was nice walk but a bit tiring, I have been clearing the front the house and thinking of putting some gravel there to keep the weeds down and maybe it will help with the poxy traffic which  has been relentless all day today people rushing to climb a mountain or go to a beach  the place is over run by tourists which is not good for the effort of trying to keep the virus as bay the buggers will come here and leave it here most likely 

There was no rain today for a change which was nice it has not been sunny just dry which is always the main thing round here.   Tbese days it seems the day it self seems to go quite quickly but the evenings are a real drag but better when the weather is bad. There is hardly anyone around as usual except traffic though that seems to finish around tea time too maybe as there is nothing open in the evening these days so no reason to go out except for drive I guess the pubs are open but they are not the same as they usually are. I ordered a parcel from amazon the other day apparently it is suppose to arrive by the 9th of septemeber not sure how its getting here are they walking with it? The days seem to be bit like going through the motions these days go to bed get up trudge through the day and then back bed and repeat. I feel like a hampster on a wheel

It seems coronation street has got in on the act regarding the pandemic with social distancing going on there now it makes a nice change from having to watch people behaving normally which we can't do right now. It started off a rough day weather wise but it got a lot better as time went on the sun came out this afternoon for  while which was a nice change. I might actually be getting near to going for a drink not in the local but in another pub which has opned a few miles away and that's the problem its a few miles away and the buses finish earlyk these days so I will have to get lift somehow or walk which is a bit extreme the taxi is very expensive unless you share I guess we shall have to see what happens at least there is light at the end of this long tunnel. The nights are drawing in as they do this time of year being that the longest day has gone a few weeks ago.  I was thinking of investing in another mask but spending too much is a bit silly as after this pandemic which

Well its another poxy soggy day we are paying big time for the beautiful spring we had, apparently its going to be better tomorrow. I went shopping earlier to a town about 10 miles away usually the weather is better there than here but on this occasion it wasn't it was just as shit there as here worse perhaps.  I got some shopping done and headed for the bus, now the timetables have changed a lot and I don't usually catch this bus but assumed it would be simillar to others in relation to returning

The weather is nice today so I felt obliged to go out for walk so off I went to the usual route I guess of along the river as I have said before the locals seem to be using the route a lot more in this strange time we are in.  They talk of a second lockdown I am still in the first one nothing has returned for me yet, well maybe in strange form to the usual. I managed to get a parcel back to this company this mornng they claimed it was easy it was not easy at all it took two days of being in the house to do it its real pain in the ass,  Talking of pain in the ass I also had a physio appointment over the phone this morning in another strange development you wonder if anything is back to the way it was I guess it won't be until the wretched social distancing has been got rid of  After a bit of messing around i finally got the exercises that I need to do to help with the pain.  I spent some money this morning in the shop as oppossed to using the card some money that appeared in my pock

Today is a bad day weather wise its coming down in buckets saw that it might improve later its sad for the pubs that can only open outdoors but its going to be difficult to get for me too as its so nasty but I will try in a bit and see what happens.  this weather is not good for the damp in this building its wet enough as it is.

I am still stuck in March nothing has changed today what was taken away then has not been restored at all not one bit and is really frustrating. As well as the frustration it was another negative experience of going to the local shop the customer service is hit and miss.  The lack of changes and the unwelcome changes during this pandemic will probably cause more damage than the virus could ever do, this pandemic has be appaulingly managed by the politicians in this country and there will be repurcussions but we have to get through a second wave with these shithouse administrations first which is not a very position to be in. I decided to walk to the next town I was surprised to see how many people were walking on the side of the road it was like the old days when people used to walk up there while looking for lifts I guess maybe more are walking as no picks them up maybe they usually walk but obviously can't get picked up now due to the virus or maybe they don't want to go on t

And here we are again still in this pandemic lark where they are stepping up the wearing the face coverings they have to be a certain kind. It seems to be getting a bit busier on the buses now and the old crowd seems to be appearing back on them I guess they have got bored of the being at home which is natural, it was also quite a bit busier going back at least it was dry today well until now anyway.. I bought some new walking shoes today and they will do to just go out generally too I think the only thing I thought of afterwards is that they might neeed cleaning due to being suede kind of material oh well they are more comfortable now than they were in the shop which is odd. The level of traffic seems to have gone up a fair bit in the last few days it was reallyk bad today but I guess if the tourists are not going abroad they have to come here or scotland or cornwall.

Its another rotten day weather wise today but its hard to complain after the spring we had I guess.  It is also been very misty though they have said that the weather is going to be nice. I went to my usual stint at the foodbank today and was surprised to see someone I know there it makes me think that many are on the breadline in this community which is very sad. I have had an itch for a few days I am not too sure if its the environment or its something wrong with me I will have to go to the doctor if it does not get any better

Its dry today at least though there seems to be a lot of wind around for a July for some reason oh well I guess there is no point in worrying about it as it will do what it does. I went to wilkos yesterday and they had taken self service a bit far I had to use the scanner myself and I was suppose to use the screen myself I was basically expected to do the job of the customer assistant which is not on really, Due to it being dry I will atleast be able to go for a walk I suppose sunday's are hard going the best of times but even harder in this pandemic situation. I listened to an interesting video by the economist today about the negatives of homeownership and their nimby attitude they are concerned about anything in relation to new builds that will affect the value of their homes a really selfish attitude if ever there was one it seems the homeowning thing has back fired big time for the west, I think renting is better you have more freedom to move around and you are not at the merc

I am not too sure where the summer has gone but its not very warm.  Its the first of July today I have a dentist appointment this month but I don't know if they are taking patients yet due to this virus I haven't heard anything I guess I will  have to ring the place this week to see if they are taking people again I have been lucky in comparison to some who have had to do some diy on their teeth appaarently which is bad news I think there are emergency treatment but maybe you have to wait and when you're in pain the last thing you want to do is wait.  I hope I haven't spoken too soon and this lockdown situation sees me through to an appointment with no pain hardly.  My teeth are not in good condiiton though the years and lack of disciplined cleaning have made sure bits have fallen off now and again and I have had to have filling after filling and the rough edges are quite uncomfortable to touch sometimes. I have not been out today really as its a bit damp but I guess I
