Me & the Corona virus in Salisbury

St George's day in the market today, I finally made an effort and out on a blue waistcoat and trousers, armed with a brolly ( rain was predicted) I left the house in high hopes.  i felt a bit dubious about dressing up, but if a man can walk down the street in high heels and a mini skirt, then it isn't so bad.  he lives over the road from me and has a beard, his legs are in better shape then mine!  I got to admire him for his bravery at not carting what other people think. I met The Steam Henge Punks at the back of the Guild Hall and we sat by Reeve the bakers, my ear is still blocked which is a pain.  We watched a display of George and Johnaphone the jester, I'm proud to be part of the Steam Punks.  We sat in the Market Inn when the phone alarm went off, I had turned mine off but it started when I turned my phone back on again.  Dad says his didn't go off.  The government sent a test alarm to everyone's phone in case of an emergency ( in case we get nu...

Another star has joined the sky today. Barry Humphreys who played Dame Edna Everidge died, he was Australian.  He died of  complications from hip surgery, he was 89yrs    At Paul O'Gradys funeral there was a line of dogs including  Battersea, he loved his dogs and did a show called ' for the love of dogs '.   Went to the coffee morning at Harnham, I've gone deaf with wax in my right ear. I've been putting in Otex but it hasn't made much difference, apart from blocking it up more. I have to keep using a tissue to wipe away the oily gunk. Salisbury getting ready for the coronation. Thers a picnic in Liz Gardens,  but I'm not going on my own.

Storm Noah hit the UK midweek, I was waiting at the bus stop about 9.30pm at the Top of Festival Avenue. The wind roared round the frame and the rain! Metoffice said to expect 70mph, they weren't wrong.  Aunt Joan is staying with us, nice for mum to have company,  I've just started cycling again but I get very hot and sweaty. Dad's birthday was on the 9th, so I got him a cake from M&S; he's 81 now; where have all the years gone?  I met Wiltshire CIL at Arendals in Cathedral Close,  former home of prime minister Edward Heath. He left the house to the nation in his will, I'm going to write a will.  I'm doing it with Samson and Coward, their offices are in New Street. I got there & thought the place was shut, then Mary came in her car. We were met by 2 lovely people, one's a gardener.  I've often passed Arendals but never been inside, they have exhibitions and plays there in the garden.    We went into the dining room, I was too scared to to ...

I get very angry with myself, if things go wrong a lot for me sometimes.  I went to the hospital gym for a meeting this afternoon, I must do something about my weight, I've tried Five Rivers Leisure centre but the hospital gym feels better.  The only thing I don't like is that the showers are too close to the toilets and one of them smells which is a bit off putting, so I'll try the pool changing room showers. Five Rivers isn't on a bus route, the nearest stop is at Devizes Road by Hastings Court flats.  Then you have to walk all the way down Ashley Road and over a bridge.  Where as the R1 stops across the road from the hospital leisure centre. There's a huge overhaul of the Metropolitan police in the UK, looks like a lot of them have been doing bad things. it's said that hundreds could be kicked out the force.  

What a gorgeous sunny day today, I've actually taken my coat off.  I went to the community cafe this morning, its buzzing as a lot of SP2 people go there, we made Easter cards there.  I've made one one for Penny as she made one for me, I didn't realise what it was until I opened it. The serving area My back tried to play up again, I bent down to pick something up on the landing stupid me; fingers crossed it's ok today.  I went up the hospital for a nature walk which was very interesting, they have now put a fence round the pond in the hospice garden, probably so the Piranha cant get people.... Yellow butterfly's and bumble bees are starting to emerge, roll on spring.

I see that the caravan season has started. I was on the bus going up Devises Road towards parents, and I saw 2 white caravans coming down from the direction of Bemerton Heath. There's huge delays at Dover apparently. Tourists are trying to get to France for the Easter break, immigrants are trying to get over here in un-sailable boats. The PM says he's going to stop the Illegal boat crossings, Good luck to him on that one. I watched the 2nd series of Great Expectations, some of it was filmed at a big house in cathedral close. They have done filming there before, The actor Robert Hardy was there last year. The house is next door to our museum, They probably had to close the entire section of the close just to do the filming. I keep snorting just as I'm about to fall asleep in bed, It's really annoying because it happened at quarter past midnight! Sometimes when I'm in bed at night and I Can't sleep, I think I hear a long haul flight going over the house on its way...
