I have started watching Enterprise because Star trek TNG has finished for the season.  I'm enjoying the program Enterprise was the first-star ship to use the transporter and the new warp engine by Zefram Cochrane in 2063, the fastest it went then was warp 5, in TNG (The next generation) it can go as fast as 9.  

Enterprise is set 100 years from now and this could happen in the future so we shouldn't laugh.  Years ago I would have thought my phone to be futuristic, but I take it for granted now.  Enterprise was also wary about the transporter, but they used it to rescue captain Archer.

Richard Branson's mother sadly died of covid a day before she was meant to have the vaccine they are saying that Salisbury cathedral may be used as a vaccine centre.  Restrictions have got tougher because of the stupid flouters, I am now wearing a mask even when I go into the supermarkets, as I don't want to catch anything.  Tesco now has security on the door in Castle Street, I hope they don't start the q-in system again.  Now if people don't wear a mask, they won't be allowed in unless you are exempt for a very good reason.  I am but the virus can still get you, it doesn't understand autism.


The government are thinking of closing markets which won't be so good for Salisbury.  I'm really scared of catching Covid, I have two parents to think about and I don't want them catching it!  They're even talking about a 6 pm curfew-like they have in France.  The queen had her first jab and she seems ok.

I have two things to pick up at the PO and they were closed yesterday!  It was nice seeing the ladies at the haven Zoom meeting.  Coming back from parents on Sunday, my rear light wasn't working, so I took the risk of coming back with only my front light.  Took it to the shop, turns out I didn't press the button hard enough, stupid me.

I'm curious to know how grandad avoided the Spanish flu, it must have been terrifying then.  Zoom wasn't about and people had no choice but to go into work, apparently symptoms including lips and fingers having a shade of blue before turning black.  With Covid, it's a loss of taste and smell and stories about a rash.

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.
