I have heard two things this morning. Firstly that the convoy of Russian troops heading for Kyiv last night has  been slowed down and secondly, Belarus is sending in troops in support of Russia.

I think I could say that I am sure the whole world is struck by the courage of President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people. We must do all we can to support them.

I find it very hard to watch ordinary television with all that is happening in Eastern Europe. I don’t know how other people can just talk as though nothing is going on.

Is this the run up to World War three. I hope not!

I have been awake most of the night and got up relatively early because, having heard that explosions were going on around several cities in Ukraine over the past few hours now that there was no way I could go to sleep.

I have now had my antipsychotics reduced very slowly from 5mg of Risperidone per day down to 4mg – 0.5mg at a time. So far so good.

So they are stopping self isolation even for Covid positive cases. And free testing is to stop apart from the most vulnerable. Whether I will be included in that I will have to wait and see. Very worrying!

If Boris thinks we are all going to forget about partygate then he is mistaken. I, for one, will not. On the other hand I am still associating some people on the television as Brexit supporters.

It is sounding like the government might do something now about Putin’s Russian friends and the dirty money they are laundering in London in property etc. I didn’t think that they were going to because they are also funding the Tory party.

Horrid storm yesterday. Much better today. I can relax and watch the News without everything blowing down outside and my extraction fans going clunk!
