I go to the allotment before morning tea and breakfast; peaceful then.

From government mandated exercise to Eat Out to Help Out. What to have today after a few days of vegetables. Reds in Nottingham is booked out; a bin lid of food. The donut burger looks mad enough to try. There's something called a Fish Hoagie so that's on the shortlist. Let's get a run in; hospitality day off. I have food prepared in the fridge.

Sunday night is lockin night with good friends. Set up Thursday with a new friend. Was happy to Zoom on Sat; people fill through work and I'm not travelling much.

 Glad that the UK don't accept the Belarus election result. The dictator will be sanctioned and held to account. Like most psychotics they think others will crumble without them. They turn the drama on themselves. 

We've gone beyond the past. Our cupboards are not empty of dreams. I've sorted out my mental problems. 

 Sometimes it needs to be broken so you can move with the new. That wasteful diversion of energy; now the mind is more relaxed. Think you did badly? How about what you move onto is better? It was the previous situation that was inflated and flawed. You are your own brand, your own venture.

Having the Lockdown 'break' was the best thing. I could've helped in a Notts hospital but chose not to. I've had my Christmas and now we are more measured, sharper. If you have doubts you will struggle. You have to see yourself as part of the job. Part of the solution; you are the solution. 

More prepping for our bar reopening; our customers have waited too long. I've been sandpapering, painting, using secateurs, doing Dr Dray duties.

I see the internet, social media as family..filling me with hope, ideas. I see my friends there.

The Anthony Walker clever reimagining by the boss Jimmy McGovern; the irony is that Walker would've scaled mountains so to speak and he was killed with a mountaineering axe. 

I like stats and yesterday was the 3rd hottest day in the UK ever.

I am giving up energy drinks. There will be no irregular heartbeat; they depress you psychologically.

Loved seeing Aldo Zilli on Masterchef; the backstory, his demeanour. In life you have to do what hasn't been seen before. 

I'm grateful for the people I know; it's been a gift.
