monday

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 will hopefully be gone by the beginning of next year I won't actualy need the mask again and there will probably be a ceremonial burning of them I will need one to get through the winter though they are a bit of a pain if you weat glasess I guess and there is not real proof they do anything at all reallyk but you would think with a barrier there it would stop something but the virus s so small maybe not.  The situation is still surreal really the worst bit is the social distancing bit its horrble and I will never get use to it I think the oness older than I am find it even harder to get use even though its 4 months in now 

I guess this pandemic virus thing proves one thing you never know what's round the corner and the world and the people who are alive now will understand that maybe even more than other generations.  This is compared to the war which I guess was another world wide thing but they didn't have social distancing then and haven't since 1918  I had heard of the spanish flue but never imaginied it would be revisted in the year 2020 I don't know if they found a vaccine for the flu in 1918 apparently there was no vaccine people just died or developed immunity 

They say there might be a second wave but probably not as bad as there are some measures in place namely the dreaded social distancing one, I am not too sure whether to take the other flu vaccine as with this social distancing you would be highly unlikely of catching the thing

whist

Well I achieved something last night, which I thought was going to be beyond me, I guess to a lot of people what I achieved, was pretty trivial, but I guess we all see things different;ly, what I achieved was to get over 170 score in a whist drive.  Last night was the first time I had ever done it, had a few scores in the 160's but not in the 170's which I see as the holy grail of scores to get as you will probably win then, which in fact I didn't last night, someone scored more than me, by 1 point.  I was not that bothered about that, all I was concerned about was getting a score above 170, I have been going to whist for years off and on and was never, until last night able to get the magic score, I am surprised I got the score last night as I had a bad headache all evening, I guess it was the luck of the cards that got me through. I thought I would never get the score, as I don't see very well, and struggle to make out the cards sometimes which is a bit of a strain,

great war

I went to an exhibition today, which was about the first world war, it mainly seemed to be full of photos of men from my home village who had fallen in the great war, they were all young obviously not ravaged by time.  It was a bit sad to think that so many young men from the place where I grew up were killed, it had their names and the names of where they lived, the names of houses and streets are the same today Sometimes you feel the outside world does not affect what happens here, but I guess it must do as it dragged a load of the young men here into the conflict which was going on at that time, I am not sure I agree with them going to fight, but that is neither here nor there, the fact is they did and that was what was going on at that time. My grandfather was in the first world war, but he was lucky enough to survive, even though he did leave his calf muscle over there in wherever he was, it must have been hell for him really and I guess I will never know what he saw there, al

shack

I did not go the 4th day of the walk, I could not face another 10 miles of plodding around the countryside, I think this is mainly due to the fact that I have not been walking quite so much in the last year, due to bad weather and things like that.  I did not think I would even finish 2 days but I did 3 in the end, more than anyone else except the person who organised the walk.   Instead of going on the walk i tidied up around the place, and just sat around, and also watched the football this afternoon, it was a crap day.  I did not even go for a short walk, its still perishing out there, I have a short walk on Wednesday, a kind of trail run for group who want to do this short walk, a recky or something they call it. I have at last heard when the new kitchen is being put in, apparently its on the !0th of April, I should have a received a 21 day notice but I didn't, which I guess is typical of the organisation who are doing the work. I am a bit apprehensive about the rewiring as the
