  • I totally know what you mean about not seeing it when you're in it Buffy, I'm sure I do the same - but I don't think I'm brave enough to read my own diary!

    It’s good to read through our diaries from time to time. When I read mine it helps me keep things in perspective. Like you say you don’t realise how good or bad things are when you’re slap bang in the middle living it....

    Some bits were truly terrible and I hadn't really remembered what Mum and I had been through. There were days when we feared the worst for my brother in law and I was frightened out of my wits about Mum. Even the other day I thought I might have to phone an ambulance for her as she seemed so out of it. But then realised the chances of an ambulance being available were pretty thin. Here the levels of the virus are basically overwhelming the nearest hospitals. She seems quite bright this morning. So that is good.  
    I would like to get on with something this afternoon. I stayed in bed getting depressed this morning. I listened to Radio 4 the Reunion and it was about covid and the lovely Michael Rosen. So sad and difficult. I do believe the virus is really very dangerous. Listening to the nurses speak about patients and knowing people with the side effects. I want the vaccine and the Summer please.

  • You are great, I enjoy reading about the bunnies etc., just hope that you are kinder to yourself in 2021 you deserve to be, hugs x
    Such a lovely thing to say, thank you XXXXXX 
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Right enough, the world is pretty crap for a lot of us now and I can't do much about it. 
    Went to the shop for bread, ended up spending 9.57!!  
    (grapes, two papers, lettuce,
    I must look at the washing situation, do some more garden tidying  and then have another bed room rethink. I don't like it AT ALL. Really need to build the new wardrobe. 
    I really hope if you are reading this you have a good day today 

    Nevertheless she persisted.

  • The day such as it was did not go well. 
    Mum has had a better day, but I got quite wound up by the school situation. Then I had a difficult chat with my other sister. Nothing I want to share especially as it was unintentionally hurtful  and I don't need to see the words written down again. but there you go. That messed me up a bit. I have been reminded that I must separate myself from the negativity. I must. 
    I have achieved very little but managed to survive the day. 
    Not especially clearer on what is going on with schools. 
    I am so full of plans but I seem to be sucked in all the time.
