Notes for new readers - as this is a diary the first entry is the last, so you get to know 'who done it' before the crime is committed! This is a pain but can't be helped. After a week of entries the scrolling will stop and if you want to venture further click on 'OLDER POSTS' and read until you get to the first entry 'The Day Before Day 1
Another very warm day. We got up at 7.00 and went for a walk as it was too hot yesterday. It was cool and quiet. The weather is due to break at the weekend and become cooler and wet.
Some housework done. Not enough but it's a start. I almost wished I had scrubs to do instead.
Watered the tubs front and back and then sorted out the magazine heap. I then became obsessed with the whereabouts of Jim's address book. It is often useful for old phone numbers but I can't find it anywhere. I worry that it might have fallen into the waste paper basket and been thrown away. I expect it will turn up.
Started to organise and print out my latest blog into book form so that it can be read from the beginning.
Ordered some more printer inks as I was running low.
Watched a couple more 'Talking Heads' Love Among the Lentils and Chip in the Sugar. In the latter when his mother is knitting ski hats Graham says "only I have to stand over her otherwise she'll leave a hole for the spout!"
Snippet from the News
The UK death toll from coronavirus has risen by 149 in the past 24 hours, the government has said.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said 43,230 people had now died in hospitals, care homes and the wider community after testing positive for the disease in the UK, as of 5pm on Wednesday.
This tally only accounts for those who have tested positive for Covid-19. The latest Office for National Statistics figures, which includes all fatalities in which Covid-19 is on the death certificate, suggests the true toll is above 54,000.
The DHSC also said in the 24-hour period up to 9am on Thursday, 167,023 tests were carried out or dispatched, with 1,118 positive results. Overall, a total of 8,710,292 tests have been carried out and 307,980 cases have been confirmed positive.
This comes as authorities announced that the rate of spread for Covid-19 and the R number are unchanged from last week.
The growth rate remains at minus 4 per cent to minus 2 per cent per day while the reproduction number, referred to as R, remains at 0.7 to 0.9.
Both figures are unchanged from when they were published by the Government Office for Science and the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies on Friday.

A festive gathering at Whitechapel. Date: 1970's I think. L to R John and Laura Alvey (late) , a lovely couple who knew how to host a party themselves, Jim (late) and myself, Enid Nelmes, my sister Margaret (late) and John Nelmes. I guess brother-in-law Eddie is taking the photo.
TOT ZIENS! STAY HOME! DON'T GO TO THE BEACH!
