Having a light breakfast in my bed in a Covid-19 high-dependency respiratory ward in University College London Hospital, I sought some light reading material. I found myself reading every side of a 24g packet of Corn Flakes. The multiple languages struck me as a metaphor for the hospital staff, medical and others.
Isolating at home with some sort of lurgy, I was in no pain but, one night, that changed markedly. I completed an NHS form online in the small hours and, within half an hour, a doctor phoned me. In the next hour or so, two London Ambulance guys were at my front door. It was all rather impressive.

Mary Portas has opened up about her decision to ditch her bright red bob during lockdown in an interview with BBC Radio 2 s
Saturday Live over the weekend (30th January).
The retail guru has embraced a more natural look over the last few months, first showing fans her new hairdo back in the summer.
After hairdressers closed across the UK at the start of the first national lockdown back in March 2020, Mary was unable to maintain her signature hairstyle. But, she quickly found herself loving her new hair, and stuck with it even after salons reopened last July.
