 France and Germany are experiencing a 3rd wave of the Chinese virus, so from midnight tonight, both countries are going into another lockdown.

They had stopped the Oxford vaccination because it was causing fatal blood clots in some people. but it has been deemed safe so they have carried it on, but this could be what is causing this new fresh wave.

Cousin Alan and Liz are having their first hand on Saturday, I don't know which ones they had it could either be the Pizer or the Oxford. Boris Johnson had his jab today.

Was coming up on a single-decker bus yesterday. As soon as we got to Folly hill, the bus starting having trouble getting up. I thought at one point that the driver would ask us to get off and push! A Woman getting off said to the driver but he was having problems with his clutch, I thought no he was.

I'm enjoying watching a program called Terror on BBC iPlayer. It's about two ships that set off in the 1840s to find a passage through the Arctic to China. They get stuck in the ice, then get picked off one by one by a horrible polar bear.  It's very atmospheric and directed by Ridley Scott who I think did alien.

My back is still playing up, when I wake up in the morning this is how. So now I take a painkiller before I go to bed, seems to work and I've ordered more from Superdrug pharmacy. I used to go to Wells pharmacy but they messed up my prescription, or someone did so I changed pharmacies.

A neighbour over the road is having a roof replaced. It's quite an old building dating from the 1600s, and once used to belong to the White Hart hotel. The roof has a dip in the middle and the owners who lived there every time they leave the building slammed the door, it's a wonder that the house hasn't collapsed.

I'm used to seeing birds perching on the roof, lately, I've seen blokes wandering around the top of the roof and I think to myself 'that's funny looking birds.'

The cycle lane has been removed from Brown Street and Exeter Street. Nobody uses it. I've only used it once that was about all, waste of money putting them bollards in the first place.

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.
