Thanks for the comments to my sister and her going back to work dilemma. I have had a chat with her and she is adamant now that she is staying at home. I was worried about her as I know what she's like, I call her Florence Nightingale ! Once a nurse always a nurse , prefers looking after others...

My sister who is 68 has retired from a long nursing career. Her last job was as a nurse in a care home looking after dementia patients. Anyway she has been enjoying her retirement, but her husband has been unwell so she is now caring for him at home. She told me the care home have contacted her...

Just watched the Panorama programme. Brought back memories for me as both my mum and baby son died there. But even though it was an upsetting time back then ,I've never felt other than admiration for the nurses and all the staff there.My sister has just retired from 50 years of nursing, so I...

I've got regular customers of many years, always pay by cash. Like I wrote earlier I'll see how it goes ? After all this virus and lockdown eases things may change. We are heading towards a cashless society, so paying by cash everywhere may become obsolete.

Going back window cleaning tomorrow. See how it goes ? Been told that outdoor work is safe in the current crisis ? Some customers I reckon will be pleased to see me, but others might think has he lost the plot ! I work on my own so I can just do my job, get paid, and move on.

I saw on the T.V. a doctor saying masks won't stop you getting the virus.In fact they are designed to stop a person from spreading the disease, not catching it. A young Chinese couple walked past me the other day, both had big white masks on, both with bright blue gloves on , but holding hands...

Where I'm currently staying in the city centre there is a large Chinese population. Nearly all of them walk about wearing masks.You see them also wearing gloves, like a zombie movie ! But there's a woman in the block I'm in goes outside to smoke. Nothing odd about that, but as she wears a mask...

This virus and lockdown will all be over one day, and the sooner the better. But do you think it will have changed our thinking, and will we never really be the same again ? Those of us who like a drink will go to the pub again , and obviously I for one can't wait to go to a football match. But...

Only time Lee stayed on his feet and didn't dive to the floor !

Been listening to Rory Gallagher for the first time for ages. What a guitarist he was. Favourite track ? Shadow Play. Just watched him do it live on YouTube, awesome.

My favourite boxer nowadays is Canelo. When he hangs up his gloves I reckon his life and career would make a good movie. I've been watching a few of his fights on YouTube , very impressive. His training videos are worth a watch too, you feel knackered just sitting viewing it !

He was trained for the boxing scenes by Barry Mcguigan and his son. They said he was a natural and it showed as he looked good. Yes most boxing films are based on the loser coming back to win, but I really like this film, and all who have watched it say the same.

Everybody who dies now it seems dies from this virus. Not from a bad heart or cancer or long term illness. I saw on Twitter the other day a family saying their father had serious ill health for years and didnt die from Corona virus as was stated. Not saying people havent contracted the virus...

Been listening a lot to a band who has to rank as an all time great. Cream. Bruce, Clapton, and Baker, what a line up. Badge, White Room, Sunshine Of Your Love, never get tired of those tracks.

I was nicknamed the Syrup in the pub for weeks after my Just For Men effort. Done my head in, pardon the pun !

Don't do it. When I was with my missus she hated seeing my grey hair coming through, but never bothered me. On and on she went and even bought the Just For Men stuff. For some peace I relented and said okay I'll try it . She loved the jet black hair look but I hated it. Anyway i went in my local...

Love punk and grunge music. Nirvana and Pearl Jam are 2 of my favourite bands. And punk bands like the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and bands from that era are great too in my opinion. I started as a kid listening to 60's pop music, progressed on to bands like Jethro Tull, Hawkwind, The Nice, and...

The security guard today in Tesco Express in city centre was wearing a spit shield. That shocked me.

I knew boxing fans would enjoy it.

Signs of mellowing? Me listening to Pink Floyd while eating custard creams and drinking mugs of tea !
