Me & the Corona virus in Salisbury

Yesterday was the coronation of King Charles 3rd, the weather as always was wet and awful.  The BBC news kicked off at 6pm on Friday, they are keen. Some mad people had pitched up tents along the Mall a week in advance to get the best spot as the gold carriage rolled by, I mean what do they do for a week? I had to get my hat from the tailors in Catherine Street before getting the bus, which they cancelled the first one anyway; damn Reds are a bloody pain in the ass!  I got up to my parents as quickly as possible, I missed the parade but I watched the king and Camilla ( Queen consort ) get crowned.  Those crowns must be heavy, and the gold coach dates from George the 3rds reign.  It takes six horses to pull it and it wobbles from side to side as it moves; the queen said once it made her feel seasick.    This is a historic moment, some people I've met say Charles won't be king for long as he's in his 70's now; my neighbor recons the monarchy will be gone in 2...

Mum rang me up at 7.00am  as dad had a reaction to the Covid jab he received on Friday. About 4am he was sick and his breathing was bad, so she rang for an ambulance. I was very worried, he texted me Friday afternoon to say he'd had it.  I rang up A&E when I got to the Harnham coffee morning,  they didn't answer at first. He's now on the Lavastock ward, I told them he was autistic and had aspergers when they  picked up the phone. I worry about mum being on her own, so I text her a lot. Supposed to have a gardener come at 2pm, but I've postponed that. Glorious weather today,  there's an event in Elizabeth Gardens called people in the park. I met Ann-Marie at Debenhams, we took our own chairs. Mines heavy which is a pain,  also took camera; felt like a pack horse. Sat under a tree, the disabled toilets were locked yet again, they had port a loos; no good for people in wheelchairs! I found the WI tent, I might also join the Sarum group. Love to join the La...

On Friday I got the X7 bus to to Southampton, I was a bit worried because I was running a little bit late. I managed to get the bus just in time and sat upstairs. . It's quite a pleasant ride, we went through Alderbury and Whiteparish. In Totten there's lots of union jack flags along the street and round the traffic island, why can't Salisbury do that? I went to CEX in the Marlands & found some more blu rays, I always find something thing in CEX. Just down the road is another shopping center called WestKey where IKEA is. Went there for lunch and used the plug to charge phone. The window overlooks the harbour where the cruise liners park up, there were three of them in today. One of them was the Queen Mary 2, I could identify the others. Lots of people are arriving for the coronation.  I got a cycle hat in Decathlon,  tried on cycling shorts bit they didn't feel right. I cycled to the Downton village cuckoo fair on Saturday, had to marshal Park Run first. Went to ...
