The Lockdown Diary - DAY 94

Posted 26th June 2020 at 01:47 by Cormack
Mum was kept in overnight, she had a cast put on and they're going to have to pin her ankle when/if they can get by the swelling - if it's 'when', it's next week, if it's 'if', it's Friday, #95. She's getting from A to B with assistance so can access facilities on her own and it was a coin flip that they'd send her home to come back next week for a review and surgery. She is her normal self "upstairs", though, and gregarious enough, so it looks a lot better than it did for a few seconds...

Where to begin? The hottest day of the year and COVID-19 restrictions are a potent combination.

Mum came up again today to get out of the house and again we sat out the back, Frost/Nixon style (neither of us are impeachable liars, mind) for a couple of hours tops. Neither of us are heroes in the sun, either, and we seemed OK. As she prepared to leave, though, I was putting on a t-shirt and as I turned back, Mum stood up, literally went white and slumped and crashed out on the floor...

A quite pleasant day and the dog and I did a lap alone as a result. She felt the heat quite a bit but like any dog, the out is what it's all about.

Classic.

Got my head around a few things workwise after sleeping badly, and late afternoon, the heat taxed me enough while out into taking a lengthy nap mid-evening. Son goes back to school for a day on Thursday #94 which...

The Lockdown Diary - DAY 91

Thirteen weeks completed and the full-on release is slated for the end of July. We'll see. A non-shielding pal who also works from home a fair bit has been told to expect not to visit his office until next year.

Belter.

Nets with my son again. He ricked his back a touch but his striking and timing is exceptional. I got him out as well, mind. Not bowling, but one of the kids...

The Lockdown Diary - DAY 90

Very late update for Sunday #90

Anyone of my age or thereabouts who, as a teen, had to have glasses will remember this well enough.

Always a pretty poor skit as I loved all the Gerry Anderson stuff. He should have never given it up to represent Sinn Fein.

Social Services would be all over that now, mind.
