Penny rang me this morning, she can't see her sisters for Christmas as they live in Darlington which is close to London.  France and other countries have started banning UK flights into their countries, the Sun newspaper isn't helping by saying there will be food shortage's as it's fuelling panic buying.

It was chaos at the train and bus stations full of people trying to flee the tier zones, one guy said it was like a war zone where the Chinese were fleeing before the Japanese invaded Singapore.

The owner of a two-bedroom holiday house in Totnes in South Devon has received 28 requests from people begging to stay there since Saturday's Tier 4 announcement.

Edith Hargreaves, 62, said: "We had friends of friends who had been past our details contacting us.

"They were offering us more money to take them and each had their own story about why they needed to stay.  "One wanted it for eight weeks and was very insistent it had to be agreed on Saturday.

"Needless to say, we have not taken up their offers."  We could be like this until the next bloody easter!

One man even lied about his symptoms while on a plane in Florida to LA, they gave him CPR after he was seen shaking but he died; he's now probably given everyone on board a death sentence.    

I went up the Range this morning to get a 16x20 picture frame, I'm now wearing my face shield in shops as I can't be too sure of this new strain that's about; the mask can give me head pains if worn too long.

I and Hugh helped moved the last of Dot's pots, I hope his back is OK; he still fancies me but he's a bit too old for me.  Used Roy's pot carrier, but we need a proper sack truck.  

Need to update the Kindle book, as my parents don't have wifi where they are.
