 I certainly got to Newquay without an amazing hitch, the weather is glorious with fields of gold which I call grape seed as I hate the name rapeseed.  I changed at Exeter St Davids and was asked to wait in a waiting room, there was a lady nearby who was visiting Dawlish for the day.  The train goes through Dawlish and Teignmouth and the sea was so blue today, it's hard coming back as I so want to get off at Newton Abbot to go to Teignmouth.  I want to arrange my ticket for one year so that I can get off and stay the weekend in Teignmouth, I am coming back in August anyway which will be good.

Had vegetarian pasta bake for lunch, I haven't seen any Ukrainian flags up yet around here apart from one thatched cottage.  I heard on the news that all women in Iran must wear face masks or be arrested, sod that and fight against it.  Men (not all) are a pain in the ass!

Getting a bit chilly out there so I might put on trousers before my evening walk.  See what happens tomorrow, skies are a bit grey but supposed to be sunshine tomorrow.

Beds slightly too firm, bloody leg keeps aching. I have a fridge in my room, it's very handy but sometimes the motor hums during the night.

There's an electronic car charger port with a green light outside, at least it works unlike ours which has been broken for months.

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.
