Palm Sunday

Day 20 something of lockdown, watching the news today the deaths from COVID-19 are on the increase. The weather has been great this weekend and I can't believe people insist on gathering in parks and open spaces, despite the rise in deaths and the spread of the virus. The weather brings you out but do what you need, get the exercise, stay away from others and go home and stay there. Before long I fear .GOV will be forced to lock down and stop people going out at all. 
It's scary times for everyone, people are dying, the NHS heroes are having to handle these deaths every day and people are dying alone. We gotta stay home to stay safe so people stop dying and we beat it. 
When we've beaten it we can all go out and have a great party, there will be a legacy left by this and that will be people knowing one and other and looking out for each other. We're in it together, we've always been in it together, life, that is. Let's see what happens on the other side. We'll look back on these times for years, learning lessons and consigning this to human history. 

When Noah came through the floods, God said I'll show a rainbow so you all know I'm not doing this ever again. The Rainbow is a sign of hope, these days for sure. When I've been out and about doing my daily walk, you can see them in the windows, drawn by the Children of the household. Behind each rainbow is a set of parents, trying their best to keep the kids safe, interested and occupied. Parents are the teachers now. The real teachers are doing their bit to share stuff online, lessons and assignments. Keep the learning going guys. 

So thinking ahead, when the Virus is beaten, we'll need to regenerate the economy, get the shops open, the factories and services back in place. Make good jobs, lasting jobs and allow everyone to socialise again. Can this COVID 19 experience really spur a different world on the other side? I do hope for this, the world to be a better place, peace in our time, everyone respecting each other and looking out for one another. 

There's even a new leader of the opposition, let's see him doing his job to question Government so we can go forward with a better society. The debt we'll be carrying will have impact for years. We'll need good government, I can't wait to see it all unfold. Perhaps our new found united society will change the political future. I do hope it does .. 

I'll wrap this here, I'm cooking tea in between typing this. Here is a Rainbow I found online. Hope for us all. God Bless on this here Palm Sunday.. Hosanna, Amen

A trip for work.

I thought I'd make an entry for my Blog today, doing it in multiple bits. Early start, up at five making my way over to the ferry. Travelling up to Reading today to see Richard for work. Bought myself a new multi save ticket which means that I don't have to pay the extortionate levels of price the ferries can charge. That's highly recommended if you live on the Island. Arrived in Portsmouth and the sun was blazing. For a travel up to Reading let's see what the traffic is like. I imagine it's pretty busy, yes it was pretty busy. On the way back down it wasn't too bad, lots of folks around for the D Day commemoration at South Sea, lots of boats out here too. Had a good stop off after work seeing my Grand Babies, Daughter in Law, and Son number 1 in Thatcham. Hannah made the tea and I got to cuddle. Top ending to a pretty good day. On the boat at the moment writing this. Waiting to set off for the Island. It's a happy boat. They always are on the way to ...

Thought I'd try this again

  From time to time I think about writing more and then something stops me. I began this blog a long time ago with great intentions to record the things I do, for me to read, not you, sorry. But you see I'm that kind of person that doesn't mind rambling away here and sharing. I can only imagine how boring this is to other people. It serves a purpose for me though, writing things down off loads them from my mind. You see what I'm doing here, I'm resoning why I'm typing this out. Just realised I'm typing this and not even looking at the keyboard too, now that's new. I'm a touch typist! Of sorts, backspace seems to feature a lot. Why start writing again? When I did life was more interesting, the more I did the more I wrote. There are nearly 400 entries on this blog, lots of great memories for me. some not so great memories. There are a number of posts that are not published. I can see why I didn't publish them and don't think that I ever will. They ...

Grandson Number 3.

Welcome to the world Ruben Hemingway Bullock. Born 29th July 2024, he's doing well and Mum and Dad are happy for their new arrival. Ruben is my fourth Grand Child and the son of my youngest, they grow up fast these kids do. They're leaving home and setting up by themselves in no time.  Lots of happiness ahead, you really do forget about the sleepless nights, 1:00a.m feed me calls and walks with the pushchair in the night to get them off to sleep. It's what it's all about. So I wonder what plans there are for Ruben, the world he's come into is changing, not always for the better in my opinion, but we have to embrace change and make them positive making the best of what we have. AI around the corner, I'm looking forward to having a robot around the house. Ruben will know no different, technology will be front and centre.  He's lucky to have some clever people around him to help him along the way. His uncles, aunts, grand parents and of course his parents. What...
