Nobody knows where they stand from one week to the next. Will they have work or not? Can they see family or not? Are they able to travel? Is it worth booking a summer holiday? So much uncertainty and that is never good for anyone.

I may not be as rigid as some of you regarding the rules. But from the start I have had the same approach, a may be high-risk but not extremely high risk and living alone I have to go out sometimes cos I have no one to do it for me. I still limit my access to other people but for my own sanity I need some company at some point. I know many of you might think having someone in my home is risky but other than my cleaners who are essential to me the only people I have spent time with are my sister and My friend at the weekend. There may be a virus going around but I can’t be completely isolated from the rest of the world indefinitely. Nobody can.
