Boris surprised the world again by announcing the birth of a baby boy yesterday, much earlier than expected. And whilst his antics do not normally bother me, I could not help feeling wow that is an emotional roller coaster if ever. Him with the virus and in hospital, then in isolation. Her at home also I think with the virus and now just when Boris reappears on the scene he is called upon to be a dad again.
And did Rees Mogg let the cat out of the bag by welcoming him to the father of six children club. Or am I just behind the times and everyone knew that.
Meanwhile today is Capitain Tom, now Colonel Tom's 100th birthday. The man who single-handedly has boosted the morale of the nation and helped raise over 30 millioin for NHS charities. I have tried to give but the page is down, however, several friends are now doing fundraisers and family elsewhere are in need of help so I have taken the plunge and go a new tenant. Not quite sure how it will work in lock-down and whether it will be better or worse for my health.
Today my spirits were low as we have heard there seems to be no let up in the virus. I think an underlying anxiety that I always feel is, despite being mostly content, rumbling away. It makes me think though until the war really most societies lived with this knowledge that death could come unexpectedly and in many societies e.g. in Africa where deaths from malaria outstrip anything that the virus delivers and despite that people got on their lives are still like that Does it mean they were/are tougher or more sanguine. I would have just wanted to hide under the blankets and having to resist that urge today!.
