Mr Johnson was taken into intensive
care last night with worsening coronavirus symptoms (I’m no lover of his
politics, but I wish him well). Somewhat ironically, yesterday also saw receipt
of Mr Johnson’s ‘letter to the nation’ telling us all that the government was
doing and urging everyone to obey the rules. Frankly, I’m appalled at the
expense of sending such a letter (to every household) – there can’t be a single
adult in the country who didn’t already know this ‘information’. It was perhaps
doubly ironic that I also received a letter (see extract image) from the North
Bristol NHS Trust advising me (although I already knew) that the NHS had
identified me “as someone at risk of severe illness if you catch coronavirus…
This is because you have an underlying disease or health condition that means
if you catch the virus, you are more likely to be admitted to hospital than
others. The safest course of action is for you to stay at home at all times and
avoid face-to-face contact for at least 12 weeks from today…”. I have been
warned!
Internet ‘stopped’ at lunchtime for
at least a couple of hours (but now appears to be ok again)… and, suddenly, you
realise how difficult losing connection altogether would be in our current
times.
Drawing Group ‘home task’ was draw
a self-portrait. I tried to produce a quick line drawing – but had to add
pencil shading to try to mask a poor sketch. Hey ho! Did another couple of
sketches too… AND I managed to dip my paintbrush in my cup of tea. Doh!
Anti-clockwise evening walk around
the harbourside… hardly anyone about.
Early to bed to read.
