Saw our lovely Troops on Easter Sunday - it's been such a long time since we last saw them in person... five and a half months to be exact. We went armed with gifts and cake and came home with chocs and beautiful flowers. It was a delight and a real treat to see them.
Curse you, Boris Johnson... I was one of your supporters. Now I loathe and detest you for every hug we've missed, the holiday we had to postpone and every Skype call we've had instead of seeing them. Keeping people away from their loved ones is cruel and heartless - it went far beyond Government remit. Bloody unforgivable.
The Three Stooges were on telly again on Monday. I picked up on what they actually said by reading about it later.
Much the same as before, it seems, with a bit more coercion and "Ooh, we must still be careful!" thrown in. Vaccine passports were given another airing, to soften us up to the idea, and they're still banging the drum for the jab - I can't continue to call it a vaccine when it clearly isn't.
1937 cases and 15 deaths on Tuesday - that's not much of a pandemic if you ask me. Seems to me the more people have the jab and the lower the case and death figures go, the more draconian the measures become to allow us to have some sort of life. The fishy smell around this whole thing is getting stronger and stronger.
Interesting to see the trials of the AZ jab on children have been halted. We don't even have conclusive proof that it's safe for adults, so why on earth would any parent give their consent for it to be given to their child - are they crazy?
It now transpires that anyone under 30 won't be given the AZ jab because of the blood clot risk. Looks like the wheels are falling off this particular bus.
Not enough testing over a long enough period... and this is what you get. Can't say I didn't warn you.
Interesting morning yesterday, the dishwasher died. Unfortunately, it didn't go quietly, it did exactly what the washing machine did last year - took out all the downstairs electrics and made a damn nuisance of itself. Shiny new dishwasher will be delivered later today and our lovely plumber will fit it tomorrow. I can't wait... I don't think much of this washing up malarkey, not something I'd want to do on a regular basis!
Ventured into the garden for about two minutes yesterday, picked a few sticks of rhubarb and made a little crumble - it was bloody lovely! Planted our beetroot seeds and onion sets a few days ago; the weather has been vile, cold and frosty since then so it may have been a waste of time. We'll see.
I need some warmth and sun - where the hell has spring gone?
