To blog or not to blog

 I have not done this whole lockdown thing very well. I was recovering from an operation in the early stages and from May I have been up and down with my MS and also my bowel problems. Today has been a marvellous day we actually ventured out and even ate out😊 fish and chips sitting in the car 😂 eaten looking out to sea at Cliftonville.

We then drove along the seafront to Westbrook to Barnes car park to see the waves breaking over the prom as they crashed on the concreted defences. I would have some photos for you but we didn’t think to take the camera 📷🙁. 

The reason for this post is shall I give up blogging completely? I have loads of time but so little inclination now to actually get this rubbish down on to the screen. I get so few page views now  I don’t feel I am contributing anything to the blogging world 🙁

It is rubbish

 I have been out today, a rare occurrence in these times of Covid. Don’t jump to any conclusions about it being a nice thing to do, it was a visit to the wheelchair people at Ashford. Left home in plenty of time and arrived with only minutes to spare! Neither Heather nor I like to be late so we will always plan to be earlier than need be, always have and always will, a trait rubbed off onto two out of three of our children. Victoria if you read this take note.😆 

Just as well we left in plenty of time today a junction we needed on the motorway was shut and that caused a detour on the journey of over twenty miles. The reason for this post being titled about rubbish is twofold, first we must have passed what seemed like dozens of posters saying “ take your rubbish home , others do” I find it disappointing that people need to be remind its their rubbish and if there is no bin Take It Home. It’s not rocket science, are people so stupid they need reminding, I recently saw a twitter post where people have walked up mountains to have a picnic then left all of their rubbish there just got up and walked away.

Costa covid

Well my last post was proved right it double quick time. Who wants to go on holiday to the COVID costas? Not me but people booked and are now having to quarantine on their return. 

Staycation and help the economy

There has never been a better reason for staying put here in England. Covid 19 has been rife here but in some European countries it has been awful. I for one wouldn’t want to be in some far off foreign country and developing the virus when far away from the NHS. Say what you like we have the best health service in the world. So basically what I am saying is holiday at home. The risk of hospitalisation abroad is to great, stay here in England is to me the sensible thing to do! The other side is from an economic standpoint. Stay at home and help our economy, many people are going to be out of work when this pandemic shakes out! If we all start swanning off to foreign climes and spending our hard earned dosh  abroad there will be less growth here at home. 

Now it may sound churlish of me to say stay in Blighty but please remember your neighbour. That is a metaphoric neighbour, a holiday in Barnsley instead of Barcelona May not have the same cachet but in this day and age of Covid 19 a Staycation has a lot going for it.

The Americans scare me

I know I try not to do foreign politics but having just read that the figures for Covid are rising wholesale in the USA and Donald Trump is saying they are the dying embers of the problem I question what’s going on?  Worldwide the numbers are rising yet we here in the uk are behaving like it’s all over! 

Fed up

My life is ebbing away during lockdown! I don’t get out of the house and I cannot get into our garden, wheelchairs and steps don’t mix. The getting down them would be relatively fast but the getting back up there lies the problem. Or more correctly there lies me at the bottom of the steps!! Today our garden has been alive with birds, baby’s begging for their mums to feed them other recently fledged trying to learn how to land on the feeders or even on the clothesline before trying to negotiate the scary feeders. Lockdown has stopped us leaving the confines of the house but today I am fed up, I hope tomorrow is a better day 👍
