Well a bright sunny if fresh day here.
Went a walk round the cemetery ,scattered bird food .
Met- a couple of metres or three apart- a lady almost 90, but very sprightly ,
walks every day with her son who has some mental health problems .
She is waiting major surgery.
Has Macular Degeneration and hearing problems ,grommets that need changing , waiting treatment for those as well ,the Dept that does it is closed.
So ill,can’t see or hear , and I thought how lucky I am by comparison with her.
She has no TV, no reading or jigsaws, no radio,phone or conversation.
Then you think of the idiots who flout guidelines and do what they want , then snumbers go up and the treatment for people like that lady is delayed in an effort to keep infection levels down.
She goes nowhere ,is not fit to be out unaccompanied, is is and pretty isolated for 24 hours ,day in day out.
Those who deny ,Covid 19 or who won’t accept any restrictions on their lifestyle should meet this lady.
If her problems could be theirs for just a day,my word they would think again.
Chilly this evening , fire on.
Must phone my sister ,but I usually put the phone down,get on with something ,pick it up again and she has not missed me!
Also my sister in law, but she has no conversation ,so I am thinking of things to say all the time!
Ham joint to take from the freezer tomorrow morning for roasting Sunday.
New potatoes,green beans a funny little sauce I concoct from lemon juice, orange zest, tomatoes and ginger and red currant jelly.
It tastes different every time as no amounts but it is really nice.
I end up throwing some ham away so this time I will cut slices for freezing in small packs enough for butties ,straight away to freeze as soon as cool.
Well off to make a cuppa and bath and bed not too late tonight as a milk day tomorrow and I like to get it in before the sun gets to it.So up early.
Must order some wallflowers ,the dark maroon / browny ones are my favourites.
Cheerio ,look after yourselves.
Viktoria .
