This is my blog.

It is an honest report of how I feel.  My sympathies and concerns for everyone going through this pandemic go without saying.  As I am sure we are all thinking those thoughts.

The farmer finished off the field today by raking and flattening.  Soon we will see the green shoots appearing of the new lot of Barley.

All around us are lambs.  At the front of the house the lambs gather in gangs and charge around bouncing and butting.  Then peep at us over the wall.


My friend and neighbour's son has sheep and today we saw his latest pride and joy.



Apart from the dust clouds created by every breeze the weather has been lovely today.  The forecast is good for the weekend too.  

I am away to be fastened up to 20 foot of tubing to the oxygen machine for the night.  Getting quite adept at the loo trips in the night without tripping!

Wednesday

So missing the plod up the Prom.

I did some pulmonary physio exercises this morning.  Quads.  Pole lifting.  Arm weights.  I then decided to to as I was told and walk along our lane.






Yesterday they raked.  Today they sewed the seed.  Dust clouds covered everywhere.  

Not good for damaged lungs.  Should have gone to the Prom.

Shut inside the Shedudio.


The Tree Creeper progresseth.  I couldnt even open a window to get some fresh air to breathe.



The DP had to plant up the troughs.  Which I was looking forward to doing.




Just cannot win.

Tuesday.

Still painting.


and drawing.

And bird watching.




I drove the DP to the butcher.  He then walked to the chemist for my repeat prescription.  Meanwhile I drove to the Prom.  Not a soul in sight.  So after a while of deep breathing I got out and walked a bit until I saw another human.  At which point I returned to the car,  the DP joined me and we drove home.

My youngest grandchild is now 6 months old.


I get to Skype and get smiles.  I am grateful.

I see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Always did have an active imagination.






An afternoon in the Shedudio.

Europe is talking about opening.  Lifting restrictions, well some.  Here in the UK moves are afoot for doing the same.  This government is concerned at businesses going bust and not weathering the coronavirus storm.

In all my years of blogging I have never had such nasty comments made on my posts.  From people who have no idea about me.  I did consider spelling out just what I have gone through and go through but that would just feed their fire.

So I will carry on regardless.

But they may achieve my not sharing so much on here for a while.

Naughty.

I went to the Prom.


No-one there.  Got out of the car and walked .  Walked back and got in the car, drove home.

Felt so much better.

Shedudio.

Painted.



New water feature and Sith Cat on guard.

Naughty but nice.

Day 1 did not go well.

Very strong winds.  The fields have just been ploughed so dust storms.  Nowhere to go.  The place I was intending to go a small harbour at the end of a bumpy track had the police visit.

A friend posted up on facebook that he had been approached by the police and the world went ballistic as this harbour is on private land and the police had no business to be there.

Not sure what tomorrow will bring.  But I am already stir crazy.  I went to the Shedudio.


Painted a bit.


Bird watched a bit.





No Seagulls.

I had a follow up text message from the Government, did I want a food parcel.  Well no as it also said if you have someone who can shop for you do not say yes.  The DP has decided he will carry on doing the shopping.

Tomorrow I am to go through the DVDs and damp dust some shelves.  Well thats the plan.  Cant say I am that excited.

The Letter came today.

It was generated by my chest consultant hence my GP knowing nothing....

It was from the Chief Medical Officer of the Scottish Government.  Who am I to ignore that.

So I go nowhere for 12 weeks.

First task tomorrow morning is to do a timetable for my new life.  More art work, more gardening, fresh air and fun from a place by the sea where no-one goes possibly....?


Farewell to the Prom.  Sods law I get the letter from my GP saying I have good reason to be there!

My carer can still come.  But I fear my red hair will disappear as my hairdresser cannot.

I have already cancelled the foot wifie.  

Still unsure re the shopping.  Apparently we can now get a slot for online order/delivery.  But no info as yet as to how to do that.  Also prescription orders can be delivered, again no idea how to do this as chemist refused prior to me getting the letter.  

I had to register using my mobile phone.  They will apparently contact me daily, presumably with info as to how to access help.

Will keep you informed.  Any advice greatly appreciated.
