Well, it was hardly surprising that the day my company insisted we all come in for a “celebratory lunch” would be the day I caught Covid. The entire office was in and so, whilst it was lovely to be there […]
WEEK 12 OF LONDON LOCKDOWN This is all still very surreal. Sometimes it’s easy to forget momentarily about the global pandemic for a minute as we slowly open up, but that’s only until you get glared at by a fellow […]
Week 6 of London Lockdown, or Day 38 to be precise. Here in the UK we still haven’t been told about our exit strategy, mainly because Boris Johnson not only nearly died, but has just added to his every growing […]

How do you self isolate if you’re a single parent? It’s just not feasible. So I’ve dropped off supplies to my mother who lives on her own. Family members have now been asked to stop all routine visits. Is Mother’s […]
MORE MONEY FOR POTHOLES….YAY (and other infrastructure) GET RID OF THE TAMPON TAX…YAY (about bloody time – excuse the pun) NO INCREASE IN WINE TAX…YAY (we’re going to need that – even if we can’t drink it all together like […]
