So Proud of the NHS!
Last night I joined my Aunt from self-isolation in an upstairs room to clap for our NHS staff. This has now become a regular feature of British life, as everyone stops what they are doing at 8pm on a Thursday, to celebrate the courage of our NHS and Key workers during this Coronavirus Pandemic. Not only could you hear clapping up and down the street, but fireworks, cheering and ships in Portsmouth harbour; they all made their own unique contribution. This is an emotional time for everybody, so anything we can do to support each other is welcome. Whether you are ill, self-isolating, a key worker or a volunteer, it is heartening to know that we are all in this together.
I've run out of my usual Porridge with blueberries and Oat Bran for breakfast, so I had to improvise today. Pancakes, with melted Easter Egg chocolate and lemon and ginger honey. It may well have not been my healthiest breakfast of choice, but it certainly tasted bloody great, for the few seconds I actually tasted something!
I suppose it's a great time to eat all that hoarded food and stuff that's been left at the bottom of the freezer. When one looks at our ancestors and the trials and tribulations they had to endure, this really is nothing in comparison. As long as people continue to follow the rules, we should see the light soon enough!
Everyone who lives in Portsmouth have been wonderful, offering to go shopping, sending their love and offering support; I am very lucky to have such great friends here. Of course, it isn't until something like this happens, that you realise just how lucky you are. If each one of us does what we can to help our friends, family and neighbours then at the end of all this, the World will be a much better place. The hope is, COVID-19 may just bring us all back together again, in a way nothing has done before!

Today my symptoms have changed yet again. The chest pain I have been experiencing for a few days has steadily got worse. They are sharp or stabbing and in different areas of my upper torso. I am sure if I am honest, there are anxiety issues at play as well, but the majority of these symptoms are unusual and I haven't experienced them before.
I have also started coughing quite a lot and my voice is rather hoarse. Generally I am feeling well enough and my daily routine hasn't been too impeded by this illness.
Mentally I am feeling rather low as you would expect. Being confined to the house 24/7 is not conducive to good health and with the sun shining, I would much rather be out enjoying the spring weather. Depression is a big problem for me and with my fear levels critical, I am not feeling the best. Like everyone else, I am not enjoying this situation and am finding it harder to deal with every day. Hope is the biggest medicine we all have, and we should grasp it tightly with both hands and never let go! Stay Safe!
