Mum got her vaccination letter Friday, so I booked her appointment on the phone. What a nightmare, the woman on the other end spoke far too fast. Booked it for Sunday (today) at City hall, the woman kept calling Salisbury, 'Sowersbury'.  Mum says some of the American visitors so that.

I went to get the paper for mum in the morning, got as far as the steps and had to go back as I'd forgotten my face shield; stupid virus 😡.

I went up Southampton Road after lunch, sky was drizzly but could have been worse. I got annoyed with two teenaged boys coming up from Gainsborough Close towards Festival Avenue. One of them coughed in my direction, I hope I haven't caught anything!

There was a queue outside the Range, it was freezing. I got two coconut halves and some bird feed. B and M didn't have much, although I am tempted to get those new Lenor scent busters you throw in the washing machine drum. Home bargains are better for bird food etc.

Went to the city hall today for mum's vaccination. I hardly slept a wink last night as my stupid sleep disorder took over. We walked down, we could do with the exercise. The old remains of the Old manor hospital are looking in a sorry state now, supposed to be older than Broadmoor.

Lots of yellow signs dotted around by Pembroke House screaming vaccination centre, I would have preferred the cathedral. 

Stupid Brussels on the news last night threatening to block vaccinations to England, just because the UK wants to leave the EU. The sprouts backed down when they were accused of aggressive behaviour; the sooner we leave the better I think with attitudes like that!

Captain Tom Moore who made news by raising thousands of money for the NHS, has been targeted by the Chinese virus. He tested positive and he's in hospital but not IC thankfully.

Had a salad for dinner, mum caught a cold which I've got the tail end of; hope it's a cold.

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. Sometimes when I'm in the bathroom, I can hear speeding trains going through the station on the way to Manchester from London. We get this in Devon...

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. Awoke to the sound of emergency verhicles going past, sounded like police cars. I did a perscription for Lisa at no 11 this morning, I'm happy to help.  Dot my neighbour is in hospital as she's broke her leg, poor thing has breast cancer.  I met her brother who seems a nice chap, also we have a couple of new black birds visiting ther garden.  Lisa has called them Billie and Elsie, I hope the perigrins from the cathedral leave them alone this time.   I caught my grill alight couple of days ago when I tried to cook some burgers, I finished them off in the oven.  I will have to use my George Forman machine now, as when I tried turning the grill on to do some fish fingers, my electrics flipped so my TV and heating went off.   I went for a walk r...

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.
