A week into self isolation

We are a week into self isolation and it’s very upsetting for me to witness my wife standing at the living room window staring aimlessly into space, with tears running down her cheeks.

It breaks my heart to see her like this.

I’ve thought very hard of how I can cheer her up.

I’ve even considered letting her come in.... but rules are rules.

Stay safe stay well.

And finally just to cheer you up:-

Coronavirus Lockdown - Day 9

So here we are again, reporting on all that has happened on our 9th day of lockdown.

The short answer is not much.

This morning we defrosted then re-arranged the chest freezer in the garage - finding stuff we had forgotten was there, throwing away stuff that had obviously been there for years and deciding what we were going to have for dinner ( my partner insists it is supper ) for the next couple of days.

The news continues to be depressing. Wimbledon and the Edinburgh Festival are two more events that have bitten the dust. A woman has been fined £660 for breaching coronavirus restrictions after she refused to tell police who she was and why she was on the platform at a railway station and in the US they are now forecasting deaths to be somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000.

I have also been annoying my friends by continually posting jokes/memes/cartoons/videos on various WhatsAp groups I am a member of! I will end by posting this one for your entertainment?

Covid-19 male patient

A suspected Covid-19 male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young student female nurse appears and gives him a partial sponge bath.

"Nurse,"' he mumbles from behind the mask, "are my testicles black?"

Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet."

He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?"

Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers.

She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles gently in the other.
She looks very closely and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine."

The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her, and says very slowly,
"Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very, very, closely:

"Are - my - test - results - back?

Coronavirus Lockdown - Day 8

It was on Monday 23rd March that Boris Johnson announced that all UK residents must stay at home to protect the NHS amid the growing threat of coronavirus. He said that we should only leave our homes for the following reasons:-

- Shopping for basic necessities
- One form of exercise a day - either alone or with members of your household
- Medical need or to provide care help vulnerable person
- Travel to work - but only if necessary and you cannot work from home

Since then I have been out most days for a walk, taking care to keep a "social distance" from other walkers and been to the shops a couple of times for essentials - particularly wine and whisky! I have also managed to obtain one delivery from a local supermarket and a friends daughter has done some shopping for us (although my partner and I feel perfectly well, and "young at heart" we are considered to be vulnerable as we are both over 70).

To help relieve the boredom of being stuck indoors most of the time I have decided to start posting to this blog again both as a record of how things are going, and more importantly to help spread a little happiness by posting some of the many jokes, memes etc which I hope will make you smile and keep you mind off the terrible plight we are all in.

So I will end this post with the following thought - 
Lash salons closed
Hair salons closed
Tanning salons closed
Waxing salons closed..

It's about to get ugly out there..... Follow my blog with Bloglovin
