This should be a short entry. I am writing to record that we, in England, are facing a third lockdown, almost as severe as the first lockdown in March. I think this commences on Wednesday, at least until mid February. Also worth noting was the first “Oxford AstraZeneca vaccination was administered today on an 81 year old patient with kidney problems. Seemingly, I can expect my vaccination by the middle of February, but it will take up to a further three weeks for the inoculation to be beneficial.
It will still be possible to buy take-away meals, and I look forward to some home cooking on a Sunday. Actually, I do cook at least one main meal each day using fresh ingredients. But it’s always much nicer when somebody else has prepared the meal.
From what I gather, churches will be allowed to continue to stay open. However, we are forbidden to leave the house, other than to buy provisions, pick up medication, go for Covid testing, or attend medical appointments. Attending Church is not mentioned except on an ITV news bulletin.
I feel as if I have coped reasonably well since March. But then, the weather was agreeable and there was much surrounding countryside to explore. Now it’s cold and the inclination to leave the house is minimal. However, as I have said before, there is plenty to be getting on with here. While despondent occasionally right now, I do remain optimistic and eagerly await the warmth spring and summer has to offer.
Many thanks for reading, David 00.17hrs, 5/1/20.
