Lockdown Fatigue - New Blog Post

-
We're coming towards the end of March and to be frankly honest, I am exhausted. Both physically and mentally. For the last year, I have been working on a much forgotten about frontline service. Everybody thinks about the Healthcare workers when it comes to the frontline, however the fact of the matter is there are many other services that provided for people on the frontline during the last year when they needed it that aren't given the same recognition. Now I am not saying that we should disregard the fine work of healthcare workers in both General and Mental Health services in this country. They have been exemplary in the past year in dealing with the problems that Covid-19 has presented. I'm merely asking people to remember the people who are making this country tick, the civil services, the bank workers, the driving instructors/testers, the driving licence office workers, the people answering queries in phone centre up and down the country and the shop owners and employ

Letters from the Irish Lockdown- Letter Three:

Hello again world from Ireland. Well Monday 18th has come and gone and really there was very little change from the previous Friday. In that the traffic had already increased with people having been venturing out and a couple more places are open which weren't open before. What had been announced and was a welcome announcement from me was that face masks/coverings were recommended for people to use venturing out and doing shopping. And who find themselves in enclosed spaces. As of this moment, I can really see no difference to last week. As I have mentioned in my previous post, I am going to continue to do what I was doing and wear my face mask if I intend on going in to pick up essentials..Garden centres and hardware stores are open which is welcome for a lot of people. Also, business that not many people think of as being essential (but really are in this day and age: IT services, electrical and phone repair shops )  are all back open as well. Also golf courses and tennis courts

Big Brother is watching You

But I'm no longer watching Mean to write about this here but I didn't have the time. 'Reality' TV. I'm sick of it. It is the same old ding dong all the time and this years Big Brother is no exception. Also, soap plotlines are mediocre this weather. But by mushing together Big Brother and your favourite soap. Give up. Well the answer to that question is BBC's Springwatch. Broadcast everyday from Monday to Thursday for a couple of weeks each year. I quickly became addicted to the antics of the owls, badgers, the 'chip shop family' of foxes and the other animals featured on the show each day. So you can keep your Big Brother antics at night when they do nothing but sleep. Or you can watch lively night activity on Sprinwatch Nightshift programme. Where the badgers are always doing something unlike the BB housemates. Forget human real life, animal real life is where the action is really at. Hmm, I wonder if the creators of the show could join forces with the
