My sister rang me immediately afterwards to tell me that next Wednesday I will be the first person that she knows who will have had 2 lockdown birthdays. I never expected to that I would be having a second lockdown birthday now I am hoping that next year I will be able to celebrate properly It's one of my daughter's birthdays today and she was not expecting to have a second in lockdown.😷 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Hill Posted March 23, 2021 #17527 Share Posted March 23, 2021 A year on from 1st Lockdown, although many had started the week previously, a year later we are in lockdown 3, who would have thought we would have 3 separate lockdowns in 12 months. At the time a vaccine was a distant hope, but I don’t think anyone thought at the time a year later we would have seen in excess of 126,000 deaths. I saw on new that Blackburn Cathedral had lit 4,161 candles in memory of the individuals who had died of the virus in Lancashire. Two weeks into lockdown my mother died aged 91, the virus wasn’t the cause, but it was a difficult day 3 weeks later with funeral numbers limited to 10 and my brother, sisters and I with our respective partners sat 3 m apart in the crematorium for the service, no hugging and no other family or friends who had watched the service online. Today I also think of my Great x 11 Grandfather who died of the plague on this day in 1594 knowing he wouldn’t live he had only a few days beforehand dictated his will to the local priest through the window, the priest reported that Henry had told him to keep his distance as he did not want him to catch it. They were social distancing even then. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted March 23, 2021 #17531 Share Posted March 23, 2021 The tree surgeon called today so we paid him to trim all the conifers in our back garden. Yesterday my blood tests came back normal and lipids were 0.8. I have a prescription to pick up for a different statin so we have called at the beach for a walk first.

My grandaughter has her 2nd lockdown birthday on Sunday. It's her 30th and they had planned a 3 day stay in New York. She's having to settle for a long stay in Old Yorkshire instead. Our daughter's birthday is another, on April 7th. Mine is at the end of April, so I hope I buck the trend🤞 Avril 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was our Ruby anniversary last November and we couldn't celebrate so we are hoping that we will be able to celebrate this year. I feel sorry for all those who have lost their lives during the last year and their families who have not been able to have a normal funeral. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it was meant as a humorous quip. I am also sure that I don't know what is being discussed. Does a pm news briefing have some relevance to the unfortunate mammal that was attacked by a dog in the Thames ?. Perhaps the Walrus swimming around Ireland and Wales.🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobstheboy Posted March 23, 2021 #17550 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Not so nice here today as yesterday, when sat on our patio for a couple hours. Better tomorrow. Dare I say that prices and options for Regal and Sky have been released by TA's. I hope some have a rethink of their comments to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
