Two year Anniversary of the Pandemic

Can you believe it? Today is the two year anniversary of the pandemic being declared by the WHO on 11 March 2020. At that stage there were 118,000 known cases of coronavirus in over 110 different countries. Doesn’t that number seem small now? 118,000 cases? I’m partly writing this for the CoronaDiaries project led byContinue reading “Two year Anniversary of the Pandemic”

Lockdown no.3

Hi. Greetings from England and indeed the UK’s lockdown no.3. I predicted a long time ago we would have a total of 7 lockdowns in the end. “7??!” I hear you cry, yes 7 my friends. I hope I’m wrong, but we are constantly underestimating this virus and it’s certainly not done with us yet.Continue reading “Lockdown no.3”

Walks around Boveney lock and Wellington College

Hi, I just thought I’d update you on our walks from the weekend. It’s lucky we really like walking, as soon there’s not going to be a lot else you are allowed to do. Cooking, eating, drinking, blogging, reading and watching films. All allowed. Well that’s me sorted then. Tomorrow night we have at lastContinue reading “Walks around Boveney lock and Wellington College”

Sunday’s Walk

Hello. Yes I am aware it is TUESDAY not SUNDAY today, but I ran out of time to tell you about Sunday’s walk around Boveney/Dorney. Also I have not much to say regarding Monday and Tuesday. It was WORK, WORK, WORK. Tonight I’ve been to my new yoga class. So relaxed. I’m in another zoneContinue reading “Sunday’s Walk”

A bit of Gloom and Doom

Hello my Waffle friends/lockdown survivors. I don’t want to make you all too depressed, but there is a lot to worry about right now… the deadly second Coronavirus wave coming, the consequences of the economic downturn, the realisation that “normal” is still very far from “normal” however much we try to pretend it’s all OKContinue reading “A bit of Gloom and Doom”

Announcement

Hi Waffle friends, I have an announcement to make (and no, it’s not that I’ve decided to have a sex change as per the picture above. I like being a girl even though statistically we still earn less money than the boys). This is my 56th consecutive daily blog, together with original photos taken theContinue reading “Announcement”

The Windsor Waffle Special Lockdown Q & A: Part Two

Hi there. Hope you’re all doing well. For those of us in the UK I hope you’re staying alert, whatever that means, staying home but also going out for work, from tomorrow seeing more people but not really seeing them, driving to nowhere on your own, not staying, coming home. All a bit contradictory ifContinue reading “The Windsor Waffle Special Lockdown Q & A: Part Two”

The Windsor Waffle Lockdown Special Q & A

Good evening, morning, whatever, my Waffle friends. The more online videos clips of social distancing I see, the more ridiculous it all appears. Like some sort of Monty Python sketch. Nearly as funny as The Ministry of Silly Walks. Why don’t we incorporate silly walks into our daily life too whilst social distancing, just forContinue reading “The Windsor Waffle Lockdown Special Q & A”
