Politics and mob rule.

Not written much this week, as you can see. Deaths recorded have gone up to about 200 - 55 was just a week-end blip. There is a drive to reduce distancing to 1 metre so that schools are more likely to open. After all Cheshire Oaks, Chester Zoo and the Safari Park are allowed to open now. Suggestions for 'Nightingale' schools, extra portacabins and asking recently-retired teachers to come back to help could work as well for education as the similar plan for NHS. Went to the plot and P had fun with the new cordless strimmer. A had baked a lovely cake which we shared for elevenses. Need bags of compost to earth the spuds some more. J. put his hand down on the tree trunk and a 5-spotted ladybird ran over his hands and on to his jumper. He was entranced. Then P put it on the broad beans to eat any blackfly. Logs came on Wednesday. I helped for half the pallet the Pp came (with A + J) and did the rest. No exercise video today! Shopping Thursday, then to Helen's to collect...

Biting and 2 to 1.

Appointment was late, but she did apologise. Radiation is booked, with consent form in the post but there needs to be a referral to urology before it can go ahead. She expects it to be in August, with a week to recover before our hols in October. Here's hoping. Went to the plot this afternoon and A and LB came later. Picked lots of raspberries so might be able to do some jam. In the freezer meantime. Put curry in oven before going, so smelt wonderful when we got back. Got bitten by a horsefly and it blistered almost immediately so put some tea tree on it. When A came, she gave me some calendula cream she had made. Very soothing. Later she put some plantain on it (it was itching) and some more cream. Now it is just a warm circle, about an inch and a half diameter. LB had a fun time collecting fruit, most of all blackcurrants and putting the June drop apples on the compost heap. They have announced that social distancing will go down to 1 meter on 4th July, also lots of places...

Jam and pineapple.

Image
The weather has been wet and windy, but not cold. Made some tomato chutney (or was that Friday?) De-frosted the other half of the chest freezer, but as the frozen stuff was thawing, fast freeze will have to wait. Found the rhubarb so will put to defrost in the pan with strawberries for jam. Bite has now gone, thank goodness. Hurray for A's cream! Hips a bit ache-y. Got out of bed too quickly today, lightheaded and bumped in to window. P said it was a good job we had strong windows, could have been awkward explaining the accident to the fuzz. Had gammon for lunch, with fresh pineapple pudding for afters. Terry Skyped P (or possibly the other way round) and had a good moan. Family seem fine, back in NY now but no chance of coming home until November at the earliest. Will phone M later. Big news is P has got fed up with lockdown hair and shaved it all off. Just like when he was at work!
