Monday 3rd August 2020

Finally had my haircut on Saturday, sat next to a fan while waiting. Lovely sunny day, I got my bike returned so cycled up parents. We watched the railway children which is a classic, there's a newer version but the old one is better. 

Set in 1909 (the year my gran was born) it's about a family who leave London for Yorkshire after their father is wrongly accused of a crime he didn't do. I won't say too much incase you want to read the book or see the film, but at the end they all say goodbye; & this is where I had my dream. Except the people saying goodbye to me were reletives who had died.

Like gran, grandad, aunt Marie, aunt Francis, uncle Mike, aunt Kitt, Jinky our dog; and I saw my childhood friend who's died of cancer.

I finally got some masks off the tree at the arts centre, there another craft show @ the Greencroft this weekend, but it's too short notice to take part; I'll do September.

Manchester are going into lockdown, more outbreaks in Melbourne. I don't want to go back into lockdown again!

Met the WI today, went to Stones kitchen cafe first. I got money off my bill as the government have got a new scheme out called eat out, where I get 10 percent off the bill; only until Aug 31st Monday to Wednesday only.

My flat is under the plane route that goes to JFK airport from Heathrow or Gatwick, sometimes the planes go over when I'm sat in Cathedral close and I watch the vapour trails vanish behind the clouds and reappear agin.

At night in the bathroom i can hear the engines a long time after they pass over fading into silence, they pass over Bemerton heath. Mum  see's vapour trails Criss crossing the sky. Eventually they will pass over Newquay heading out to sea, what was once known as the steam ship or cruise liner route.
