I said to the husband, and he remembers it very clearly […]

I thought nothing much of it, she’s been […]

People look at me funny when I tell them that on New Year’s Eve of 2019 I watched a news article flash up […]

Last week we were adjusting to lockdown and accepting that this is life again, for the next while. Well, this week has been interesting. We have to have a Covid […]

It’s funny but also incredibly sad at the same time. Who would have thought we would know what the word Covid was and that […]
