On a proper downer today so don’t expect an amusing read more a mini rant!
Finally dozed off at 04 something only to be awoken by Gary at 04:30 when he went to work followed by Fabian at 06:00, I sat on the sofa in a semi coma telling the birds to shut the f*$€k up, Gary called at 08:00 and started prattling so I hung up on him and then my friend called at 08:30 so I abandoned all hope of sleep pulled myself together and got on with the day. I had a visit from my sister inlaw all be it from a distance over the fence, she brought some bits we needed for the pets and boy was it great to see another human being if only for a few mins.
I ache all over so Joe Wicks can go stuff himself today !
Homeschool started with money and maths again we made quite a bit of progress with it (I hope) Diary written we had a full day on his castle project doing a range of things from watching documentaries on castle building and Dover castle, a bit of writing about defences, built a Lego castle and finally he built a castle on Minecraft, I had my first go ever but a 2 second wander around a virtual word made me feel seasick no wonder our teenagers walk around like zombies!
Desperate to do something constructive I tried to do a bit of research on how to write a blog but I’m still none the wiser so this is the format you are getting until I work a few bits out, bits like what the hell is a widget?? I keep getting asked if I want to download widgets??? I might but I just don’t know, I once had a guinea pig called widget he was blind so we got him a guide rabbit that he followed everywhere but he also used to get his willy stuck out where he kept trying to roger the rabbit and got fluff stuck over the end of his dinky (oh the shame of taking him to the vet and then the horror of watching her rubbing his hideously out of proportion winky with KY jelly, I swear to god that guinea pig was smiling) The only other widget I know of was in beer cans in the 90’s, I think John Smith were the brains behind the device which I think kept the gas in or something like that (I was a wino) but I doubt that’s what WordPress are offering!
We had toast for breakfast, I made smoked mackerel melts for lunch and the Roast lamb was fantastic thanks to Millies help, I can’t be bothered to prepare anything for tomorrow so I will have to see what I fancy rustling up then.
Weather is bright but bloody cold I still can’t be arsed to go out and apart from missing my family I’m loving social distancing, I’m sure the novelty will wear off and I’d really like to go Mudlarking again, even though it doesn’t involve talking to or being near anyone it still isn’t allowed. I mostly agree with the rules but some make no sense at all such as not being allowed to drive somewhere to then walk where you might not see another living soul but you can walk around a housing estate if you live there. Reducing opening hours in shops…what a load of bollocks you just end up with the same amount of people all trying to go at the same time and the same with public transport, at the start of this people who need to go to work we’re packed in like sardines at a time they need more space and still no testing for the vast majority while every other country is throwing what they can at this! Looks like China have been lying about their death toll (no surprise there) there reported 3,500 deaths don’t quit tally up with the 42,000 urns ordered by their funeral services who are having to operate 24 hours a day to clear the bodies, but one thing we know for certain is we will never know the whole truth about this virus! With so many conspiracy theories flying around I’m keeping an open mind and frankly does it matter?? All I want for now is to keep my family safe and sane throughout this and hope others do the same.
Two hours sitting on the floor playing with Lego has broken my bloody neck and shoulders, I hurt so much I’m walking around like C-3PO I’ve got deep heat in my eye and a hot water bottle strapped to my back so I’m really not a happy hamster, time for the Uber painkillers and a trip off the planet so will say goodnight and hope tomorrow is a better day!
Life but not as we know it
