Lockdown 2020 and on

Another yucky day to be brutally honest... I've been to the Hospital for my Covid test, the testing was really well organised...but finding it was quite a challenge due to a lack of signage! I was nervous to got snappy very quickly, much to Mikeys annoyance! I don't think he was too impressed when he was told by Dad to keep quiet in the back of the car whilst I was being tested! THe drive through was actually in the disabled carpark. Andys first theory was to drive up the main road, but I doubt anyone would have believed a white c3 was and emergency vehicle so we did an about turn and drove round the carpark! We could see the test tents, but you weren't allowed to drive through to them! Eventually after more snapping from me, Andy drove past the private Hospital and we found the way in! Once in the short queue we were identified quickly (Yay me, I got my number plate right for once!!) The main problem was the tester couldn't get into the swab packet in gloves! I managed...

Well it is Friday of one hellishly long week... I'm now sat happily watching Graham Norton, trying to relax as I really need some sleep tonight! Last night I was still trying to sleep at 3am and this morning getting up didn't happen very early! But I was fully dressed before the small person managed it! Most of lunchtime was filled by conversations with the booking department at Kent and Canterbury Hospital. Tomorrow we are off to William Harvey for a Corona Virus Swab test prior to my Colonoscopy on the 11th May. I actually got a letter last week telling me it was suspended for the forseeable future... so I'm having it done in 10 days provided my swabs come back negative! As my last test was negative and I have not been anywhere or have seen anyone for the last 4 weeks hopefully the next results will be the same!  I also have to collect a pack next week with laxatives for the time before the procedure...so another trip to William Harvey on Wednesday. My life is going to be...

Today we are apparently being addressed by the Prime Minister for the first time since he left I.T.U. and recovered. The rumours flying around regarding the changes to the lockdown rules are daft, hopefully after Boris has spoken this evening everyone will calm down again and stop rushing to return to whatever they now feel normality is... Last night Mikey actually admitted that he is missing school (not that he has wanted to do any work today) and I agree with him, I want him back at school once the science agrees that it is safe for him to do so. Both the children and the staff need to be protected; as well as the families at home who may still contain vunerable family members who do not need any bugs etc brought home. If I am honest I am so pleased I don't need to make any decision regarding this. Part of me is worrying a little about when the lockdown lifts, I haven't driven for weeks and obviously have not needed to contend with any traffic at all. The thought of driv...
