If I want to be honest sometimes at this hour of the day (usually very late), I do not feel like blogging. But the nurses are working all through the night as are the ambulance drivers and the police and it would be pathetic to say I can’t write a few words before I go to bed. Also in the morning when I get some feedback I’m always glad I did. I’m amazed and more than a little surprised to see how many people follow and some even say they enjoy it. So thank you one and all.
Seeing the grown up grandchildren yesterday, not able to go out, Uni shut down, no clubs, no friends unless it’s online made me feel quite sad that they’re missing out on a part of their growing up. Also made me remember my life at their age. Having been brought up mainly in Essex I decided in the early sixties to leave home and went to live in a studio in Notting Hill Gate. I just remember life being very different, very easy in many ways, and of course fashion and music was exploding around us. Getting a job was no problem, there was plenty of work. I was trying to become a fashion model and in the evenings worked at the Whisky-A-Go-Go to keep my days free for visiting the fashion houses. I’ve read ideas that the Whisky opened in the 70s but I was working there in the early 60s. It was busy, it was fun and I can’t imagine being made to isolate.
On our roads drivers are taking advantage of lack of cars and speeding. Police have seen 150 mph and well over 100 in London. I had noticed that there is plenty of stupid driving here in Bournemouth, more so than normal. In the Channel migrants are still being picked up by coastguards. Yesterday 75 in five dinghies were taken to centres where they were put in quarantine. Trump has unfollowed Piers Morgan on Twitter for criticising him regarding his remarks on curing the virus with disinfectant. This was followed by a tit for tat response when Piers unfollowed Trump. So sad they were such good friends. And while on the subject of the POTUS the New York Daily News has given him a new nickname calling him a Total Bleach Bum. We should have a competition for the best moniker.
That’s all for today, keep reading, keep isolating and most of all keep smiling, our very own BoJo will be back in office on Monday and now before bed I’m going to catch up with my friends in Texas. Nighty night, Don’t let the bugs bite. 😴💤😴
