still no pubs, no gigs, some cake and covid-19
Going to be a bit to the point... although there is plenty of time to talk at length.
I had already started my own SELF-ISOLATION and my Ma was on an ‘antibac’ mission, when the nation was told it was going into LOCKDOWN. I then got a letter on… 27.03.20
…telling me that I am in the group that should be SHIELDED – for at least 12 weeks!
Music… lots of music. All of my favourite gigs cancelled, including my favourite, the Cambridge Folk Festival. But we had an online concert with Katherine Priddy and Facebook music sessions happen all the time.
Some of my PAs are still coming in. They are all very restricted in their own lives to help keep me and Ma safe. Big thank you… no words really. We are finding ways to have fun like…
Last week I was really ill. I know my GP well and he was fab on the phone but things got so serious that he said “HOSPITAL”. Ma could not come with, my sister insisted (on the phone) that she would - “NO ARGUMENTS” - to protect Ma, my PAs and their families. All packed and ready for the ambulance when a consultant from the hospital (also fab) phoned and gave lots of advice to try and make sure I get to STAY HOME. It was very frightening, thinking we would all be separated and although my hospital passport is up to date, along with lots of photos of my friends and family, the thought of hospital is scarier than ever at the moment. We soldiered on and after a couple of days all the meds started to work which means I have, indeed, managed to STAY HOME.

Hey Christian, thank you for sharing your blog and I’m so relieved to hear that thanks to some key people knowing you well, that you have been able to remain at home and not have to go into hospital. I’m loving the list of things you are doing to keep busy at home. I don’t know if you like audio books, but I find those quite relaxing - only problem is I often end up dozing off! That’s ok this week as I’m on annual leave, but won’t be so good next week when I’m back to work! Anyway, you continue to stay safe and well and keep an eye on your Mum and your carers. Sending positive vibes and virtual hugs 🤗 xx

thank you for the post and keeping us updated. I love your ideas for PAs to be doing! All ours are working from home and its not easy to think of things for them to do! I especially like the making silly videos.

So glad you’re coping with the lock down and the constant smell of disinfectant. (You mum, sister and the whole team you have around you are priceless)

It’s tough out there too mate beyond the lockdown. But I bring good news we are seeing acts of kindness and community that had been lost before the virus. As much as I hate technology I’m glad for it now to be able to keep a safe contact .. keep blogging and see you on the other side
