I started doing the daily blogs to record events during coronavirus pandemic but these days we rarely think about it. Its still there though. This graph was in the Guardian its based on estimates derived by the ONS. Actual figures aren't reliable any more as people have to pay for tests.The current strains are quite mild and so hospitalisations are relatively low.It's still around though so I'll keep the posts going but I might not report on each day. Went swimming at 10 am on Monday morning. The pool was quite empty and it was a good way to start the week so might make it a regular thing. Went for a ride out Maidenhead way with Kelvin on Tuesday afternoon and early evening. Did about 45 miles. Madeline stood up. I've been breaking a lot of guitar strings recently so I fitted some Graph Tech string saver saddles.
Did some birthday present buying on Thursday. The festival traffic has arrived.
Just when I mentioned earlier about not thinking about covid any more Amy has tested +ve. Everybody else up there is -ve but James is not going to Spencer's wedding. Madeline has a high temperature again which could be related so they are raking her to the GP tomorrow. Tom and Sally are aleady in New York for the wedding. The view from the hotel roof terrace.
Madeline tested +ve on Friday. We had a chat late morning. The symptoms are mild. The sad thing is that Warren and Mary-Ellen are having to keep there distance for a few days. Made my first baguettes.
I did the sound with Sarah at RSAC in the evening for a Club Velocity night. These are monthly events promoted by Sid Siddle. This one was called In Malcolm We Trust Number 11. Malcolm is Malcolm Unwin who used to promote gigs with Sid. When he was 50 they put on the first In Malcolm We Trust gig and its been going ever since. New Puritans kicked off proceedings. They are a punk band fronted by Malcolm since 1979. Next up were Burnt Tomorrow, a bit Jethro Tullish followed by headliner Jessica Lee Morgan. She's the daughter of Mary Hopkin and Tony Visconti. She did
Those Were The Days as an encore. Great gig. James and Mary Ellen tested +ve on Saturday but not feeling too bad. Fired up the pizza oven for the first time in a while. Quite successful, went for a variation of the neopolitan style. No oil, 60% water and 00 flour. Made the dough very easy to handle.
Heard on Sunday that James had a bad night and Madeline's temperature was high in the night. Mary Ellen is round helping out as she is already infected. We did a walk down the Kennet and along the Thames to check on festival activity. Spotted some new art work in the underpass in Coley. Unfortunately a lot of it has already has graffiti but nit this bit.
