Mum update: phoned hospital and still has high temperature, raised heart rate. Her own consultants are due to visit her today so I’ll know more by lunchtime.
Mum update 1 pm – just been seen by the doctor and relayed a message that she was feeling a bit better and might be allowed out in a couple of days when they’ve sorted a couple of things. Notes were being written up, so I’ll call back later when the nurse can read the notes to me. They’ll presumably have to wait for the Coronavirus swab results to come through too.
It’s dad’s 90th today. Have just spoken to him and he seems chipper, given the circumstances.
Another lovely day so will head out for a walk. Yesterday did a circuit past my old primary school, our first house in Lea, up to Dethick church and back via Common End and the bus stop where I used to catch the bus to secondary school in Matlock – and riotous nights out in Matlock when I got older.
Did another longish walk in the evening too, which helped me sleep better. Netflix is my salvation. Enjoying The Stranger now…
2022 and all that 
Riotous it is again. Stay strong and healthy. Give my love to your dad and mum.
Just cancelled our trip to Jaen, Seville and Malaga from 14th April on. We’re in voluntary quarantain working in the garden, thinking of you.
Love
Els and George
