Day 109 Peg Bags

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.

Olivia turned up at 11.00 am as arranged to meet Jasper. We went the usual route as a trial and he accepted her taking his lead. We discussed his little foibles en route and agreed that she would walk him once a week for a while extending to two walks when he had got used to her. She is booked in for Friday at 11.00am.
Sheila has asked me to make a couple of peg bags. I think I could manage that. I selected some fabric and cut them out.
They are going to be a bit like this:

I need another child size coathanger. Or I suppose I could get handy with the saw.
Christine, my mobile hairdresser rang. She is now making appointments. I am having my long locks shorn on Friday 17th at 1.30pm.  Excellent.
I told Joni this morning that I was willing to fetch her back from Heathrow on the 18th when she returns from Italy if her parents would be happy for me to do so.

UK death toll rises by 126

The Department of Health and Social Care has published its latest UK coronavirus death figures. There have been a further 126 deaths, taking the total to 44,517.

This is just the figure for people who have tested positive and died. As we try to point out every day, this official headline total used by the government is not the actual total. That is because these figures only include people who tested positive for coronavirus and died. Taking into account the deaths of people who did not have a test, but where coronavirus was cited on the death certificate, the real total is more than 55,000.

Overall, the daily death toll seems to be closer to plateauing rather than continuing to decline. Here is the latest chart from the government’s coronavirus dashboard (which does not include today’s figures because, confusingly, it does not get updated daily at the same time as the DHSC figures come out).

This is the 'Sunny Jim'. It belongs to my family in Carmarthenshire. The intention originally was to refurbish it  as a sailable boat but life got in the way. It is now moored at Graig Fach where it serves as a den, quiet reading place and a home to spiders.
