Thursday 17th April


I went to thirsty Thursday at the Mill pub in Harnham, sat in the back garden. Been packing teapots all afternoon, sold four on E-bay.

Huge fire at hanger 3 at Sarum airfield, started at 6.30pm. I saw the plume of smoke as I was coming along town path, also a burning smell in town center like a faint bonfire. 

Apparently the smoke could be seen as far as Wilton and Durrington! That means people could probably see it from Stonehenge.

Fire-crews from Salisbury,  Hampshire, IOW, Amesbury and Ringwood all raced to the scene. Hanger 3 was a café I'd been into, the poor owners must be doing their nuts as they were going to refurbish the place. 

People were told to shut doors and windows because of the asbestos, which makes it more horrifying. Crowds were standing round watching, hope they didn't breath it in!

Bit of suspicion as developers want to put houses on the airfield, hope it's not arson.  i don't agree with the developers wanting to put houses by the airfield, the place is the oldest in England, it's been there since WW!

I've been in Hanger three when watching mad people take off in a plane and jump out and God Knows what height, they do it for charity.

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...

Friday April 17th

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.
