Today marks the 129th day of my shielding. My last update was on day 94. So far we have survived quite well, with no symptoms of Covid 19, but of course that’s the idea.

Only Human – Volume 2
I was recently fortunate enough to be able to put my first ever music composition onto an album among 18 others musicians. The album ‘Only Human – Volume 2’, has been put together by the group, Only Human. Just four days ago, I had no idea this would happen. I was invited to a facebook…
Tinkering & Making
One of the things I love to spend my time doing; often oblivious to the rest of the world around me, is repairing broken things or creating some new project from scratch. I am a big believer in recycling, upcycling and the ‘repair don’t replace’ mantra and so getting stuck into keeping things running rather…
Awake by Emmetelle
I wanted to convey those mornings where you wake up and feel ready for the day. Those wonderful days where you wake up, fully rested and feeling well. Where the sun is shining in through your curtains and you can hear the birds tweeting in chorus and you slowly get up, stretch and head out into the day; hairs tingling on the back of your neck at whatever excitement might head your way.
Day 94 Shielding/Quarantine
This day for us equates to twelve weeks of initial shielding (84 days), plus the six days prior to official lockdown on the 23rd March where we self-isolated voluntarily and the four days we are now past the initial shielding deadling on the 15th June. Today is day 94 of quarantine for us.
Day 56 Shielding/Quarantine
Today is our 56th day of social isolation and day 50 of Shielding/Quarantine (week 7/12). Over the past few days the UK and devolved administrations have announced the easing of the current lockdown status. For us in Wales, that started today, however other than exercise restrictions being relaxed in terms of time outside, and garden…
Day 40 – Shielding/Quarantine
As I write, today is day 40 of isolation for us and day 34 (nearly week 5/12) of being shielded. Since I last wrote about quarantine on March the 30th, we have tried to keep our spirits up by keeping busy. In general, we are not really accustomed to the word ‘bored’ at home as…
Day 14 – Shielding/Quarantine
It has at the time of publishing been 14 days since we started self-isolating and 8 days since the government imposed a stricter isolation for those of us with certain underlying health conditions. So far we haven’t noticed much difference. When my illnesses are bad, I can spend a lot of time resting for often…
Shielding – Day 7 is now Day 1
So, with this Corona Virus scare, we as a family have been self-isolating for the past week voluntarily (starting on the 17th of March 2020). Firstly to do our part with regard to social distancing and to protect ourselves from developing Covid-19. Both my children have asthma to some degree and I have a range…
