Apparently 'social bubbles' are something which is being bought in by the government to allow those who live alone (which would include myself) to meet up with another household, but if either 'family' or household suspects they are infected, they all have to self isolate for fourteen days.
What I want to know is, what happens when the bubbles burst?
I have taken out Alfie at around 9 this morning as it was overcast and it looked as if it was going to rain. You can't hurry Alfie as he has to sniff every blade of grass and leaf as we walk along the path towards Oldbrook Green. He has this funny little habit of pottering and this is done very slowly and deliberately. I think it's a terrier habit. He stops to wee on every lamppost and tree and has the same places we have to stop at as we walk around the Green. It takes probably three or four times as long as it would if he didn't stop along the way.
(Later) 10.15. It is raining quite hard so I made the right decision to go out when I did. I would have got soaked and so would Alfie.
I got the call from the cardiology department at around 12.30, although I had been told it would be at 3 o'clock. It was just as well I was in when the call came, on my iPhone. It would appear I have no problems and that things will continue as they are regarding my medication. Nothing further to report.
It has turned out dry for the remainder of the day, although there is quite a strong wind blowing as we went out this afternoon walking along Strudwick Drive on our way to Oldbrook Green.
Friday. It's rather overcast and somewhat humid this morning. Done washing up and about to start clothes washing. Exciting, but that's all there is to report at the moment.
I have a new idea for my writing. I'm not going to reveal here what it is because it's not cut-and-dried.
(Saturday) We had a SCF Zoom quiz last evening. It was an interesting experience.
This morning looks a good deal brighter. The sun is out and it seems much more summery.
We walked down Strudwick Drive towards Oldbrook Green this morning, just before 7 o'clock and we stopped as Alfie was intent on sniffing as we proceeded, and a blackbird was sitting on the fence to the garden of Dexter House and I stood and looked at it and it looked at me. It was a great pity I didn't have my camera with me as it would have been worth a photograph. It sat there for quite some time and didn't move. Made me wonder what on earth was going through it's mind.
Later. Going out later with Alfie and there's youths playing football on Oldbrook Green. Not that I'm in the least bit interested, but it's good that they are having fun, enjoying themselves. People watching from the sidelines.
I went to have a cream tea with Mike and Margaret, friends from church. Absolutely amazing to actually meeting up with people and getting away from the flat. Just not good staying indoors when it's so warm and sunny.
(Sunday) I have taken Alfie out twice now and it continues to be sunny and pleasant. I sat on the bench nearest to The Cricketers and saw a father attempting to teach one of his young children how to play cricket (very appropriate since this was so near the pub and the fact that the road names around Oldbrook are after cricketers.) He can't have been much more than 6 or 6. It wasn't helping him to have such a large bat and the younger child was wandering around in the background. It's good to see fathers particularly with their children like this. In general there seems to be a more relaxed atmosphere about the place since the lockdown was slightly eased.
