Thursday I walked around the park and saw some beautiful blossom. It reminded me of the beauty of spring that has been lost amongst so much focus on the coronavirus. Friday it was my birthday. Twenty-nine. One year away from thirty. Josh and I lay in bed late watching cute animal videos, cocooned in the … Continue reading The Coronavirus Chronicles: Day 19
Thinking back on the last few days, they all blur into one. Does anyone even know what day of the week it is anymore?! We've been watching a really good adaptation of The War of the Worlds, set in current times (minus one coronavirus). I found it interesting that they made it so close to … Continue reading The Coronavirus Chronicles: Day 15
Yesterday I awoke earlier than normal and jumped in the shower and then went out for a walk, but there were so many people walking up and down the canal that it was hard to avoid them, so instead I walked up and down the top of the park whilst on the phone to my … Continue reading The Coronavirus Cronicles: Day 10 & 11
On Monday the plumber and his apprentice came and identified the leak in the floor and fixed it, as well as insulating our pipes. I am so relieved that they managed to sort it out. Now all we have to do is wait for it to dry, which could take a long time, but at … Continue reading The Coronavirus Chronicles: Day 6, 7, 8, and 9
Today when we got up, I noticed that on top of Josh's floorboards that were drying out yesterday, there was water sitting on top of them. So now we think there is a leak instead and we don't know if they are going to have to know into the wall or what in order to … Continue reading The Coronavirus Chronicles: Day 5
I'm starting to lose track of time and the days: it took hard work to remember what we did yesterday. On Day 2 I suggested to Josh that we need some sort of exercising schedule for two weeks that we cannot go outside at all. Due to my ME/CFS, I wanted to find some low … Continue reading The Coronavirus Chronicles: Day 3 & 4
Welcome to Day 2 in our household, and I'm starting to tear my hair out, after 3 whole days of being stuck at home (and so many more to go). Last night I emailed my boss offering to do any work possible from home (hard to do when you work in a care home...) and … Continue reading The Coronavirus Chronicles: Day 2
I woke up this morning to find that my brother has agreed to let my dad come and pick him up from Sheffield. I'm relieved: I think we should all be in the same place just in case an emergency happens, and it's likely they will restrict travel even throughout the country at some point. … Continue reading The Coronavirus Chronicles: Day 1
(I am in isolation with my partner Josh for 14 days, I have decided to start blogging about our experience on probably a daily basis. If you are interested in reading about it, please follow me for email updates!) Yesterday was the first morning I realised that my cough was a little more noticeable. It's … Continue reading The Coronavirus Chronicles: Day 0
