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.
Well, Joni is back from her sojourn in Milan and Florence with her Italian friend Margherita. She seems to have a good time but is happy to be home which is good.
My plans for making a number of masks did not go according to plan. I did not like my new way of attaching the elastic so I have abandoned that. Some progress made and as I haven't got to collect the next batch of scrubs until Monday I have Sunday to work on the masks. The nose wires won't come until early in the week anyway.
I spent a considerable time today going through the photos on one of my older 'macs' looking for suitable pictures to use in this blog. A trip down memory lane as the time period they covered was 2002 - 2010 mostly and covering the early childhoods of the grandchildren. Some laughs!
I spent so much time over this that I was too tired to actually write the blog so that was the first thing to do in the morning.
Usual meander down to the allotments with Jasper and Sheila. I am a bit concerned that not many broad beans are forming on the plants. Why? We are the nearest to the bee hives although I have never seen any bees near our beds. It's a good thing we are not depending on anything we grow for food!
Snippet from the News
The government’s most senior health advisers appeared to cast doubt on Boris Johnson’s suggestion the UK could see a significant return to normality in time for Christmas, just hours after the prime minister made the prediction.
Mr Johnson said that if progress in the fight against Covid-19 continued it might be possible to move away from social distancing measures, including the one metre-plus rule currently in force, by November.
He added: “It is my strong and sincere hope that we will be able to review the outstanding restrictions and allow a more significant return to normality from November at the earliest – possibly in time for Christmas”.
Patrick Vallance, the chief scientific adviser, and Chris Whitty, the chief medical officer, were not at Mr Johnson’s side at a press conference in Downing Street in which he announced a cautious lifting of the government’s ‘work from home’ message.
Later both appeared to suggest a less optimistic outlook for the UK.
Earlier this week Prof Vallance also put himelf at odds with the prime minister when he said there was no reason to change the work from home message.
Mr Johnson had himself admitted he could not say the UK would see a full return to normality in time for Christmas.
