I always blog about what’s on my mind when I wake up. So far I think this has worked fairly well but now in our present state what is on my mind seems to be very similar every morning...how to survive this odd period and stay reasonably sane and cheerful is getting harder every day....not least because I am alone mostly. Life is still good most of the time...and made better by using the iPad daily. Getting mail, chatting to old friends, making new ones whilst playing games, talking to people all over the world .....I do not feel cut off or alone. This morning I am giving serious thought to going down into the village to go to the cash machine but yesterday I was told that we are very full. St Mawes is teeming with visitors so if I’m going it had better be early...so now I pause...I’ve got too comfortable staying on my own most of the time. I have got my face masks ready...I am told that everyone in the village is wearing one so I am happy to join in . But then I start worrying...I have become too used to being on my own....I like it. So am I brave enough to just pop into the village? Ridiculous! What have I turned into? I’ve never been timid. I’ve always enjoyed people...I like people so why am I becoming such a wuss? I don’t mind wearing a mask. It seems common sense . So I can do this! But will I? Oh dear...maybe this is because I’ve been alone for quite a long time.....and I do want to be able to pay my gardener this week. With actual money obviously...so it remains to be seen what I shall do when I get dressed. The road outside sounds fairly busy...so parking might be a problem if we really are full. So will I go.....or not....? Oh dear!

Well I’ve done it. And it was easy. I parked, walked a short distance , drew the cash and walked back. The traffic warden shouted...."You’ve got Forty five minutes yet! ". So I can now pay people with real money...and I will do it again. Not only was I the only one wearing a mask. I was the only one. Full stop.
Well done indeed. It took courage a grit to do it.
I drove into London this morning to take essentials to my spouse who is in the stroke unit at Lewisham. Traffic is as bad now as it ever was. Don't drive in London, unless it is risky on public transport.
I hope she’s improving...more prayers coming her way...and you of course.
Dearest Jean I do not know if you remember our chats but I do fondly if you need company during this time I would gladly be at your service as a handyman & helper contact me on my email if you feel the need.
It's always risky on Londons public transport, it's dirty crowded and full of ignorant arrogant fools who think they are invulnerable.
I have driven in London for 10 years be aware of pinch points & take the back streets as much as you can.
Parking on the other hand is an art to itself.
Good luck and best wishes for your wife's speedy recovery.
