Been so busy over Christmas which just shot by. Went up aunt Joan's, Karl rang Alan while we were at Dunchurch to ask where we were.  We went the London road route, I was relieved when Alan turned up. We went to Elliott's field a shipping complex near Brownsover estate,  most of the shops are closing in the town and may be turned into flats.  I don't even know how long shops will last, because everyone seems to shop online.  I'd rather feel the product, then have to return the stupid thing because it didn't look like what was in the photo. When my parents came to Rugby in 1967 Rugby was a different world.  It has changed a lot, we used to park at Rugby precinct now renamed Clock Towers.  Someone got killed while under the ift fixing it, how horrible in that?  Alan knew one of his friends, what a way to die.

There's days I feel like writing, and days I don't.  Looks like things are going as they are until June, mos of the summer will soon be over and I can't bare the thought of that and not seeing my parents.

Friday April 17th

Weathers a bit gray today, but it was lovely yesterday.  I went to Tesco extra on Southampton road and the waiting time was horrendous, so I'll doubt if I will wait there again if that's bad.  I had heartburn last night, and its back again today, It comes in waves so I hope it's not a sign of Corona.  Even B and M have a waiting time to get in, althrough their so called glass protective panels are not good. I clapped for the NHS last night and took a video with my phone.  Going to stop now as chest is really hurting.
