Gosh, I’ve been so weepy today, its absolutely ridiculous. I am tired, that I know for sure…working 35 days without a break, even though I’m not especially busy, is tiring. I’m really grateful I’m not in a more physically demanding position.
It all started off when I saw the photo of all Capt. Tom Moore’s birthday cards ☺️☺️☺️👏👏👏 over 125,000 so far and they’re still coming….I’m guessing he won’t be reading mine then 🤪🤪
Then I saw the fantastic mural created by Bradley Scott Windows – it is stunning.
After that I read an article that said he was definitely going to get a RAF fly-past for his birthday, which would include a Spitfire; not the Spirit of Kent, but close enough ☺️ https://www.itv.com/news/2020-04-28/raf-flypast-for-captain-toms-100th-birthday/
and then to add to all that, a photo of him with 2 Guinness World Book of Records Certificates….it seems he’s been accepted into the Guinness Book of Records for 1. Being the oldest person to reach #1 on the music charts and 2. Raising the most amount of money for charity – as an individual.
So much wonderful news in one day and I just cried. ❤❤❤
We’re so used to seeing sad, and shocking and terrible news these days, that any good news is overwhelming.
Had a wonderful facetime conversation with my daughter and grandson during my break today….he’s growing up so fast now and the changes are amazing. He always gives me the most beautiful smiles and that just makes my day.
Seems I’m a Trail Blazer 😂😂😂 completed 9kms today and that takes me to 17kms down and 127 kms to go to the end of Hadrian’s Wall….its been raining today so I tracked my kms indoors instead of my daily outdoor excursions. Its amazing just how many kms I walk in a day when I’m working. At other jobs I’ve done well over 12kms on some days, and most of that is climbing up and down stairs 🤪🤪🤪 I forgot to put my phone in my pocket a few times today, so probably did more than 9kms, but hey, I’m good with that.
Now if only I was walking the route for real. Post-lockdown goal….watch this space 👀👀👀🚶🏻♀️👣👣
The only other person I’ve spoken to today besides my client and my daughter was the District Nurse. Poor girl nearly jumped out her skin when she wanted to close the door behind her….as she went to put her hand on the latch I shouted “don’t touch that, I’ll do it” 🤨🤨 I’ve kept the virus out the door for 5 weeks now, I’m not having anyone touch anything in this house if I can help it.
The 1 minute silence at 11am to remember the many, 140 plus, NHS staff and Carers and other frontline staff who’ve died, was so poignant and very sad, my heart aches for their families 💔💔💔 Their deaths have all been totally unnecessary and completely unacceptable. This government has much to answer for. I wanted to shout at the TV when they showed those hypocrites Johnson and Gove et al standing there with their heads bowed. Bloody hypocrites. They’ve been cutting funding and selling off the NHS for years, refusing to increase junior doctors pay just a few years ago…and now they stand there for all the world as if they are innocent. Gahhhh. I hope there is a hell….
Other than that, it’s been a quiet day. I’m trying to not watch the news anymore and I definitely cannot watch the daily briefings🤬🤬🤬….the TV is not mine…and I can’t afford to replace it….
I read that New Zealand and Australia have tentatively lifted the curtain slightly on their lockdown….let’s see how that goes. Hopefully no 2nd wave as predicted.
That’s it for today. I’m quite impressed that barring a few days, I’ve kept up my journal this long. I’ve never blogged this often before…
Goodnight and stay safe
