Written 14 November, 2020. We always have to take a week’s supply atlas of food, and we always need to repair our home which as you know was only a jerry-built holiday shack before the virus.

Day 230
12 November, 2020. The Eye Hospital around the corner didn’t open till 10AM. I was well enough to walk there, eager to get it over. A strange resignation had set in. I’m missing running in to huge K. If i’m sick, it’d be a disaster to give it to her. Even though she’s only… Continue reading…

11 November, 2020. I woke to such a still, shining river. But I’m far from shining. I’ve caught something- can barely stay awake, scratchy throat, diarrhoea. We have to help K, so perhaps I’ll get a co-vid test. We’re all taught this now- got a sniffle? get a test. I take the… Continue reading…

Written 4 November 2020 America’s election day, after Trump has ignored the virus all year- for 221 or more days – and today 102,000 new cases in the US per day, while their hospitals are too full of sick and dying people. Yesterday we came back from the city, darling K ensconced in her… Continue reading…
Day 214
Written 27 October, 2020. Why are you doing this? asked GG. His phone will be ruined by now. But I told T I would. And, I have to admit, I still can’t turn down an adventure. I remember in a tv series about an old age home, the matron said she had some ninety year… Continue reading…
