We have all suffered in one way or another during this awful pandemic since March 2020 and whenever we have been asked to conform, in many instances not to our liking, most of us have dealt with these instructions just to keep ourselves okay. This is my recent experience with the NHS which I would like to share, especially as I am no longer in the flush of youth (born 1935) to illustrate that official guidance has been helpful to me and to show that life is not all doom and gloom. On January 5, 2021 I decided to take my Xmas decorations down but unfortunately my legs and feet became entangled with my steps and I crashed down extremely heavily backwards onto a marble fireplace hearth slab, fortunately not loosing consciousness, but a really bad fall.
A Watford FC fan will be “showing love” for the NHS by running a socially distanced half marathon on Valentine s Day to raise money and awareness for it. Greg Bishop will be running across three hospitals in Hertfordshire on February 14 to show his support for the work the NHS is doing during the coronavirus pandemic. The 20-year-old from Watford says he knows of “so many” people, including his family, to have been affected by Covid-19 and has put “a lot of thought” behind the run. “The thinking behind it is that my Valentine will be the NHS, to show awareness and love for it,” Mr Bishop said.
