Went to a cafe called the Raj yesterday, as the Turbine was fully booked. I thought it was Indian, but it's Mexican. Food was lovely, had spaghettis carbonara, quite busy. Lots of empty shops in Rugby, but it's like that everywhere.

I see the British consults have evacuated Russia, things must be getting bad. Putin said he's not going to invade Ukraine, Hitler said he wasn't going to invade Poland but he did. 

One MP says it smells of the Munich agreement in 1939, I already knew this; Boris is no Neville Chamberlain!

Looked at old photos yesterday, my dad was 27 when he got married, uncle Mike was 30 I think at the time. My dad looks like Hank Marvin from the Shadows, mum looked like Shirley Temple as a kid 

Most of the people who attended my parents wedding are dead or very old. My parents went to Teignmouth for their honeymoon, aunt Joan said said after the reception at the Stratford club they saw them off at the railway station.

Teignmouth was very different than, I've posted my DNA kit so I wait to see what happens.

Looking at old photos saddens me, seeing gran at Hudson Road was a long time ago. I know I was a little pest, and I also would like another reading at the spiritualist church.

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.
