LOCKDOWN DAY 44 – COVID-19

I'm exhausted. I now have Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. This evening I went to Sainsbury's at 9pm to avoid the crowds – good move, there were very few people in there. I even found yeast for the first time in weeks! I have not been on any walks or cycle rides this week, as been too tired from work. I don't know what I'm going to do over the next three days, as don't really love any of my local walks. I miss the coast SO much. I would have given the world to see those Bee-eaters flying over Stiffkey today, how awesome would that have been!

I really hope that Boris allows us to drive anywhere within the county to go for a walk – obviously the social distancing needs to remain as it is now for a long time. I really don't think that families should be allowed to meet up yet, I really don't, its way too soon, especially if you work in a hospital or care home. I'm on holiday for a week from Saturday 16th May and will be over the moon if I can drive anywhere in Norfolk to go birding – if I can't, I will more than probably cancel my holiday, as I can't mentally be in my house and garden for what will be 10 days, without being able to go to the coast, it was bad enough last weekend for two days. I just hope that any new rules the government change on Sunday evening, will be totally clear and precise, not like the current ones about leaving your home!
