Long time, no write. I do have a good excuse though as I have been poorly with a stomach bug. I’ve lost quite a bit of weight in five days but I wouldn’t recommend this diet to anyone. Seen my GP today at short notice and saw a medic last week via 111. I have to say that I have never had bad service from the Panton practice in Bournemouth. I’ve found them to be very caring as well as efficient. Anyway, I’m feeling a bit better today and hoping that I can now forget about it and get on with enjoying the lifting of several Covid restrictions. Weather permitting, of course.
Tonight I watched the first episode of Pact on BBC1. A drama set around a brewery in Wales got off to a slightly slow start but thoroughly enjoyable especially as I love a good serial. I have to stop expecting TV to be believable as I keep telling myself, as I’m watching, ‘that wouldn’t possibly happen’ or ‘as if she would behave like that’. It’s a fairy story on TV and as my son-in-law Andrew said about another show ‘it’s just a bit of fun’. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses.
Apart from going to the doc today I haven’t been out to witness Bournemouth’s lockdown easing today. What I have witnessed was a very strange Spring day with sun, rain, wind, thunder and lightening – no hailstones though. A very good thing that people could eat indoors, in groups of six at least, it wouldn’t have been much fun in the gardens. I wonder how everyone got on? One report states that Brits today were spending £2.8 million a minute on enjoying their first day of freedom after seven months.
I read that Mr Sussex has put his foot in it again, this time with the Americans. Our friends over the pond fought a war to become free of British rule and many of them have taken umbrage at Prince Harry’s latest interview. I believe he didn’t actually intend saying that the First Amendment was bonkers. Just that it gave journalists the right to always follow him and his family around taking pictures etc. I guess the best way to stay out of the limelight is to stop putting yourself in it.
That’s all for my first day back except to ask a completely irrelevant to anything question. Have you ever wondered why desert spoons and soup spoons are a different shape? after all, no matter what we shove in, our mouths are the always the same shape. Hey people, let’s be careful out there.
