The start of another week. I face it quite optimistically. I made a call to my telephone company this morning and it all went very well. Yes, hopefully, it will be a good week.

I live in a Tier one area but none of us know whether that is going to go up or whether there is going to be a circuit breaker – a two or three week national lockdown. The number of cases is doubling up every week or so. Scary.

I got up late this morning. My breathing isn’t good but I think that is my emphysema or asthma rather than Covid. I don’t have a temperature and still have a sense of taste and smell and no cough. But I am not going anywhere anyway!

I have been doing a half hour seated class of Qigong at 9.30 each weekday morning. This is online with Deniz at movelifebetter.tv. It is gentle exercise especially the breathing similar to Tai Chi.

I have been waiting for someone to help me with cancelling a package I had agreed to within the 14 day cooling off period. I had tried myself and got nowhere. But no help was forthcoming so I had another go. This time I hit the jackpot.A very nice young woman helped me and everything is resolved. What a relief!

My cat Lily has thrown up on my bedroom carpet. I had better go and clear it up!

I have been waiting for a phone call. When I called again yesterday I was told that I had missed the call on Thursday. I blurted out that I only had one phone call Thursday. This was a mistake. That was Friday. Thursday I received quite a few calls. I owe them an apology when they eventually phone again.

They didn’t have my normal yoghurts so I ordered some ‘healthy’ ones instead. I didn’t know there would be figs and prunes. Ugh!

The cases of Covid have got really bad again. We will see what the government does tomorrow but something needs to be done now!

My cat Lily who went missing for eight days had a different miaow when she came back – more desperate. But as my friend pointed out she just sounds like the old Lily now!
