Monday July 28 - DAY 126

Recommended listening - Manfred Mann, 5-4-3-2-1



Last five days to the nominal end of shielding and a relaxed descent and landing should be on the cards as I've overall behaved, took my medicine, so to speak, and will be released into the wild on Friday.

Usual Monday night net and not only has the boy improved over the winter, but...

Sunday July 27 - DAY 125

Another intra-club game, 40 overs and I did the Wendy Wimbushing again. I could get used to that, I must admit. Went to the wire again, son dragged on after getting a start and a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

Saturday 26 July - DAY 124

Another day without internet but I managed a brief bit of access through son’s phone and backed me a winner, which is nice, given I can’t get my hands on it because I haven't had the option of cash handling since the middle of March. I had six quid on me for a bit while shielding and Mrs C had relieved me of that long since...

The Lockdown Diary - DAY 122

Thursday July 24 - DAY 122

Mum finally got her gear as the ward relaxed enough for her to get a Red Cross package. Out of cotton fatigues and back into her own outfits - yay. A couple of books - yay. And tea last night didn't agree with her so I'd send in a sandwich - yay.
