Me & the Corona virus in Salisbury

  Great news, our cafe can open on Thursday, I will be glad to see evryone again.  I got a box of free mince pie's yesterday on my Tesco voucher, so I gave them to the womens refuge in Sainsbury's as they play havoc withj my innards. The government says the pandemic is back under control, but for how long with idiots breaking the law?  People are getting into a silly panic about buying christmas trees, perhaps they should brance out and grow their own.  Apparently all of Debenhams and Top shop are going to get the chop, our ex Debenham will be taken over by a firm from romsey; I hear they are expensive.  lewis hamilton the racing driver has caught Covid, but he's only showing mild syptoms; for now. There's heartbreak stories all over the world where familie's are being wiped out by the Chinise virus left right and center.  China should be brought to book with all the crap they've caused. Now for a bit more history of my tedius life. This is Gas Lane, it was...

 I had a dream last night that I was looking over a harbour where many sailing boats were moored, It felt like I was in Waymouth but I'm sure I wasn't.  I also saw people swimming in the water. The council or powers to be have put a beauble in the George mall, I go to take photo's and it's littered with pushchairs as parents bring their children along; I eventually managed to get a decent ( I hope ) photo. I'm so saddened that mum doesn't want to me to put any decorations up, she says she's not feeling Christmassy; with no decorations up it certainly won't feel very festive in my parents house.  Aunt Joan's making an effort so I don't see why mum is so against it.  Only a bit of bloody tinsel what harm can it do, I'll only get bad temper and tears if I try.  Aunt Joan said mum would be chuffed, obviously not.  Mum says it's too much dusting, well it was for my well being to be honest seeing as everything else is cancelled, I feel mums put...

I put some kewi kleen drain cleaner down my kitchen plughole last night, it's hard to get now but it's good stuff.  The pipe started rumbling and smelly steam started flying in a cloud out of the plughole!  I had to wear a mask because the chemical smell was so awful. The Poultry cross has had decorations hung up, mum says she's not in a chrismassy mood but I'm not letting it run anything; I'm stil hanging the decorations up. My TV had a five funny minutes last night, I hope it doesn't keep doing that because it helps me relax in the evenings; I don't want it developing a fault.   I talked about my life at infant school and St paul's, now I will tak about when I went to Hibruary school in Hibruary Avenue. I first went here in 1981, St Paul's said I couldn't graduate with the juniors because of my special needs; looking back on it now they were rubbish at helping peope who had learning difficulties to be honest.  They only helped people who were d...

Sometimes I think about the past and how long ago it was.  The first school I went to was at a scout hut called Dennis Marsh House, named after a scout master; there used to be only a wooden hut on the site.  We used to have playgroup in the big hall with windows overlooking a carpark which had flint stones all over, now it's all covered by tarmack. One of the ladie's in charge of the group had black hair and was German.  I remember I had my first ever photo taken in one of the back rooms, I was 4 years old and had a pink wooly top on; can't remember the bottom half i think it was a tarten skirt.  There was also a kitchen at the back and I remember sitting under the worktops ( probably making a fool of myself as kids do ) The hall hasn't changed much, we had a wendy house and toys to play with, I have been back to look through the window a couple of times.  I remember being dropped off and my parents going into town, I used to chew the playdo and spit it out whe...

  I went up my parents on Sunday with another copy of battery's not included, nothing wrong with this disc thankfully.  I'm trying to type this up on my phone, but the stupid screen keeps switching off because my fingers are too big for the keyboard; do I end up loosing my temper. There was a briefing on BBC1 about the lockdown. The UK will go back in the tier system. One of the speaker's, a lady, wants us to go into tier 2, which means households won't be able to meet another.  I've said this before, I'm not spending Christmas on my own. I got some decorations in Poundland yesterday, I met a nice lady in a powerchair who lives at a grade 2 listed house called the priory in Brown Street ( no 95 ).  It looks a rather old building and dates from the early 17th century, it must have been a lot bigger once.   I wonder if it's haunted? By the look of this room there was once a fireplace on the left hand side.  There are markings on the wall outside to show ...

  I've lost one of my antibiotic capsels in the kitchen and I've looked everywhere for it, even tipping my bins out to see if I can find it, I've been taking them an hour late beacuse i had to get things done.  I self harm when I get sngry, slapping my ugly face and hitting myself.  Everyday seems like Friday 13th with me!  Just spent an hour with a torch  trying to search for it, it must be somewhere it can't have just vanished.  I'm fed up to the back teeth of things going wrong, I wish I was  dead sometimes, my life will be empty after my parents are gone.  I've never ever had a proper relationship; all men do is break my heart anyway. It's my own fault I should have been more careful taking it out the packet, would have been better if the capsel had rolled down the plughole, at least I would have known where it went.  I should eat at six but I'm not hungry now, someone up there must really hate me.  I'll probably wait hours before th...

Some things have certainly happened today,  I charged my bike lights up last night, front light works at the back light won't come on at all; looks like I may have to go round Stonehenge cycles to buy a new light.  I cycled to the range today and as I was passing through Churchill gardens, I came across Claire Hacker who works at riding for the disabled in Salisbury. she is one of the managers and is a really nice lady, well she has to be to put up with something like me. She told me that Pat Burgess the original manager at the RDA passed away a couple of days ago. This is really sad because when I first joined the RDA, I was very shy and she was very kind to me. It's the end of an era really and we will all miss her. The RDA is owned by lord Pembroke and is just outside the town of Wilton. I won't call it a village, it probably was once. They say Wilton it supposed to be olfer then Salisbury believe it or not. I have been told that lord Pembroke is the cousin of the Queen,...

  Blinking antibotic capsels are interfearing with my acid reflux, be glad when I have finsihed the course.  Mums birthday was yesterday so I got a trifal for dessert and gave her a Monocarch of the Glen cross stitch pattern. I also brought up a DVD called ' Batteries not included ' this is a classic film that our church would love.  I saw a magpie on the roof while coming back from the Spar, something always goes wrong when that happens. It's a brillient movie and mum loves it. Only thing I have to bring another disc up on Sunday, as the one I ordered on Ebay stopped working after 30 minutes which I was rather upset about.  Mum didn't seem fussed but I was rather put out about it.  I've contacted the seller who was very appologetic, it wasn't his fault the disc was faulty. Me, uncle Mike, aunt Joan and both my cousins saw this movie at Bournemouth Odeon years ago.  This was on the last day they came to stay with us, they used to stay from Saturday to Tuesd...

Remembrance day was very quiet on Sunday, people were asked to stand outside their front doors as a mark of respect but I don't think that many people did in Salisbury; dad went to have a look but he said he was the only one out there.  i didn't notice anyone in Ivy Street paying their respects. I passed the poultry cross in Salisbury the other day, this is an old structure in Salisbury which has seen so much history, it was there long before I was born and it'll be there long after I die.  Apparently my great grandmother was hit by a horse pulling a stage coach from London to Salisbury past the cross, causing my gran to have fits for the rest of her life.  I need to find out more to this story. Sometimes homeless people gather under here on a Thursday evening to get food from an organisation ( Can't remember the name ) but because of the pandemic this has been stopped. Meat used to be sold here centuries ago, there used to be a cheese cross in front of the library, ...

I stayed at my parents last night, I saw some fireworks whilst on the bus by Bedford Road, Devises Road; only a couple going off tonight otherwise it's probably been cancelled.  There was a fog this morning, so I ran off a few photo's. Coles has had another fairground accident in Southampton, they were in Salisbury once, and someone fell off the big wheel. Also once when someone was passing, workmen were welding a bar across one of the seats of the big wheel as it had fallen off apparently! Lockdown starts today with all non essential shops closed, I'm surprised McDonalds  is open for take aways only.   Mum doesn't want decorations this year, but she's going to have them; I want everything to look Christmassy.  I'm not going to be depressed because of this Chinese pandemic!  We're all worried that Michael Gove is going to try and extend the deadline to mid December, hopefully not.  I'll go to Poundland and get some decorations, I'll...

  It was with heavy heart that our cafe along with many other non essential shops closed until Dec 3rd, I hope to God they don't extend the lockdown.  The virus is back in carehomes, probably spread by students who work their to fund their courses.  I love going there for the company, so I will see parents more often like I should do.  Many shops are using the month as an excuse to clean up and refurbish, the India shop has gone; never went in there anyway. The UK death toll rose by 492 on Wednesday,the highest daily surge since mid-May.   The death toll now stands at 47,742.  A thirteen year old boy died of the virus. Stupid back wheel on bike needs fixing, more expence.  I went up the hospital and met another support worker from SUN, seems a nice lady until they get used to me.  Got liquid antibiotics. More horrible thrush on the way. I forgot my umbrella so i went to the church office to get it back.  I am so going to miss the Hope ce...

I am so NOT looking forward to Thursday. Boris Johnson gave a statement on Saturday that because the numbers of the virus are raising that we have to go into full lockdown!  That means places like SP2 cafe, Wetherspoons, hairdressers, PC World, Argos have to close again.  I already have mums present so I hope it works, will get dad something too for Christmas; which is in the balance as Michael Gov the health secretary says four weeks lockdown isn't enough.  He wants it extended right up until Christmas, so people will not be able to do their shopping and many people will be very disappointed. I went to st Paul's church for the very last time, and left my brolly behind so I better sort that before Thursday.  i also met the WI this morning in Weatherspoons, the staff seem ran off their feet; no more chicken Korma on Thursdays.  the good thing is i can still see my parents as they are in my bubble. Many pubs and restaurants will not be able to host ...
