Ooh ahh, just a little bit...

Didn’t sleep the best last night. Maybe it was the combination of too much sugar too late and watching a Newsnight report on a Covid ICU unit.

There was a nurse featured who was on the verge of tears after a draining 12-hour shift, but the other bit that got me was a patient who at one point was flanked by four or five doctors and nurses who were trying to assist his breathing. I appreciate that this will not be a common ratio across every Covid patient, but still, it’s no wonder these NHS heroes (and they are heroes) are hanging on by a thin thread. Hats off to each and every one of them.

Despite a lack of sleep, I got a lot done today, was able to help a couple of other businesses with their claims and ran my third fastest 5k in a shade over 24 mins. Even found time once the wee ones were here for a video call with my mum and dad.

A highlight of the day was a delivery and quick, socially distanced catch up from the Brownie Fairy and fellow blipper; GinaG73. I had jokingly ordered some brownie from her a couple of weeks ago and lo and behold she turned up today with a massive slab (and two boxes of tea bags I had actually ordered) of the stuff. The children and I munched away as we watched their favourite Spider-Man cartoon before bed and it was delicious.

A sweet end to the day and massive thanks to Gina; co-owner and purveyor of the finest teas and coffees round these here parts. 

Stay healthy.

*No, this blip wasn’t paid for by Penningtons (unless you count the brownie).
