With COVID-19 appearing to have taken over the planet and absolutely nothing else seemingly mattering to anyone anymore, I am struggling to find anything blogworthy.
As with some of my previous posts, for personal and historical purposes, I’ll give a brief summary of my current situation…
Before I start, sorry if the below comes across as me wallowing in self-pity. That is not my intention. I can’t stand defeatism.
THIS IS NOT ME.
I am aware that millions of people have been affected in one way or another by this outbreak and hundreds of thousands are unwell as a result. Many more have been told not to turn up to work – despite being fit and well – therefore receiving no income.
I am not infected. I have a nice house where I can self-isolate and continue to receive an income. Forgetting all my other health issues, I am one of the lucky ones…
- Claire is back at work and I am still off work. I am jealous she is able to do her job and I can’t. I also miss her.
- I cannot get downstairs without supervision, so have no choice but to lie in bed all day and all night. I feel like I am in hospital.
- The television in the bedroom is well and truly fudged, so I can’t even watch that.
- I was forced to use the commode yesterday. A ghastly ordeal and one which I had to do alone.
- Since returning to bed from using the commode, my left shoulder/upper arm has been giving me discomfort.
- I don’t believe the aches are from the site of the original break, but I am really scared that I have caused damage and set my recovery back months.
- There is not a cat in hell’s of me even considering going for an x ray. Due to the fact I am classed as ‘at risk’, it would be crazy to leave the house.
- As for going to A&E – I might as well French kiss an infected coronavirus patient and start digging myself a hole in the nearest cemetery.
- Thankfully, my dad is a retired GP and believes that my complaint is muscular, although wants me to contact my own GP if things do not improve.

What an incredibly short-sighted statement for Piers Morgan to make - even by his standards.
It sounds like Wuhan are now more or less clear of COVID-19.
The only reason they have practically eradicated the virus is because once it was known what they were dealing with, their government took sensible measures to prevent it spreading.
The initial... - Covid And Cruising Don’t Mix
A bit of a sad day. Claire and I were supposed to be heading to Southampton, in order to board the beautiful ship, Aurora.
We had both been looking forward to this cruise, which involves stops in Norway, Iceland and Ireland.
This hasn't come as a shock to us. P&O cancelled the cruise in June. Anticipating this,... - The Dogs Know…

According to news reports, the covidiots are back - and boy, they are back in their droves!
There are stories of 19 beaches along the south coast being literally rammed with stupid people, desperate to catch some rays in the 37C heat. Go and sit in an oven if you enjoy being burnt alive - and... - Well That Was Long Overdue…
I had my haircut yesterday, for the first time since February.
Let's just say my mop was getting very long and I was getting very annoyed with it.
You also know it's bad when your wife calls you Shaggy. I assume she didn't mean the cool dude behind classic tunes like It Wasn't Me and In the Summertime. She...
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
