Ive never known a time where we could alljust agree that for the sake of preserving lives we are happy to give up so much, so quickly. At the moment, were putting saving lives first which is absolutely right, but, if this goes on for much longer, i think there will have to come a point where we think, 0k, some of these freedoms that people are foregoing at the moment, theyre too precious. There are certain industries that are Face To face, entertainment and performers and things like that, theyre all out of work. Theres no end in sight. Its so hard for people in the jobs that need to be done Face To face. And i do think there will come a point where people willjust get, you know, they lose their patience with this. Ive been a bit low this week because ive had no work. Im owing on all my bills at the moment. Last week been announced that back to six people gatherings, because id just just started getting real time parties again. Its all been taken away. Ive got to accept where im at and not let it get me down too much. You have to face your own inner demons, in a way, and a lot of internal fears, actually, that ive really had to start acknowledging. cause i had a quite unhappy childhood, actually, i think thats why i do what i do because its a way of reliving my own childhood and doing better this time around. I want to give Children Joy because i think its really important, and i didnt have as much of that as i would have liked. But. So i start crying.

I like worrying about things and i started up this worry when the apocalypse comes, the zombie apocalypse, and i keep on thinking that im gonna be just with my friends and were gonna have to raid all the malls, take everything we need. It was really hard for victoria him to get his head around to get his head around a concept of something that made everybody so ill, and, notjust ill but dying every day, whos dying . How many people have died . Being afraid of dying and this concept of something thats in the air, thats everywhere we touch, that we cant see but is deadly, and its such a bizarre concept for us to get our heads around.

Like, well have to go and live on the top floor because the zombies will come, because he is worried about everything, hes worried about the house falling down, about the , which is not normal. But their imagination is is so wild. Its made some people really scared. I do actually remember thinking at the beginning of this, ive had my life more or less and if it came to it and i was given a choice and it was saving somebody younger, i would actually say, yeah, ive had my life. Everythingll fall to bits, i think were like cars, you know, my big end might drop off and my steering wheels may go, my tyres may puncture, but as long as the motor keeps running, which i think of as my brain, and im hoping ill get there. I want to hug my family, and just feel close to them again. Just sad to miss touch. Its got to be physical contact and everybody, well, lots of us will be missing that. Ifeel like My Son has been taken off me. And i hope im going to get christmas i think people are all waiting to be told what to do and i think the powers that be are afraid to say the wrong thing. Boris johnson given the early evidence we have, it is with a very heavy heart i must tell you we cannot continue with christmas as planned. Those living in tear four areas should not mix those living in tier four areas should not mix with anyone outside their own household at christmas. I know how important it is for families to be together. Were sacrificing the chance to see our Loved Ones this christmas so we have a better chance of protecting their lives so we can see them at future christmases. I was with Mum And Dad l and they were having a bit of an afternoon tip. Boris comes on and i woke them gently and i said do you want the Bad News or do you want the Bad News . Theres no good news. Christmas is effectively cancelled. She got quite emotional. It didnt really hit her. 86 years old. She just wants her family with her at christmas, i like Everyone Elsel wants their family. Now were beginning to really see what he word to really see what the Word Sacrifice really means. Everybody� s christmases are just done for, arent they .

I cant wait for this year to be over. Its like a never ending dream. The best bit of News Weve had so far are the hopes of the vaccine. The more people that get vaccinated the better and that is going to be the most effective way of trying to get that light at the end of the tunnel, because thats hope.

Boris johnson were now rolling out the biggest Vaccination Programme in our history. The pace of vaccination is accelerating. That will eventually enable us to lift many of the restrictions we have endured for so long. Its behind me now, and it must have been bad because i want to forget it, i think. But youve had the vaccine . Oh, yes. Im glad ive had it. But it did give me a sense of Thank God for that. I forced my grandson to give me a hug. Laughs. Hes14 and not happy Being hugged by old grannies are they, when theyre 14, for goodness sake. Its like it never happened. Its kind of like the world paused. We became a real buddies.

Yeah, did you get bored of me . I had you for six months then i had you for another year. I i know, its like, now hes like, now im cringe. Its been an incredible journey, hasnt it . Where do we go from here . And thats very, very valid question we need to ask. We need to build up the confidence again. Its one thing that this epidemic has resulted in, is a lot of people are very timid and scared to go near other people. We need to rediscover that again, we need that Human Contact again. And this is, ive talked about them so many times, and this is my Mum And Dad. Theyre going to kill me for this, you know that. My mum, marcella, and my dad, guy. I had my second vaccine 7 April and so did my parents. Just to have my family protected in this way is quite overwhelming, it really is. Oh, my goodness me. I just. Its been an absolute pleasure talking to you and meeting you and, you know, I Ijust cant believe where the time has gone. Its gone quickly. Good evening. Things are staying dry and settled for at least the next week or so with a big area of High Pressure firmly in charge of our weather. We have got a warm, sunny day for many areas during saturday. This was the picture in leicestershire a bit earlier. We saw temperatures of 2a degrees across central parts of scotland. Sunday, a similar day, again, its going to be dry and there will be spells of sunshine but there will be more cloud drifting around, particularly in the north. Weve got an area of High Pressure that sitting out towards the North West with the winds rotating around that. There is a breeze coming in at the moment off the north sea, so thats going to introduce a little bit more cloud across parts of North East England and eastern scotland. And then through the course of tonight, that cloud works its way south across scotland, Northern England and northern ireland. Further south across england and wales, clearer skies through the night, so temperatures dipping down to perhaps seven or eight degrees in the coolest spots, but staying in double figures under the cloud further north. So, this is how we start sunday morning. We have got that cloud in the north. Still that breeze coming in from the north sea, particularly brisk for East Anglia and the South East as well. Lighter winds further west and plenty of spells of sunshine for many areas, particularly for england and wales. A little bit more cloud for scotland and northern ireland, but there will be some breaks in that cloud, especially towards the west during the afternoon. But top temperatures around about 15 in aberdeen to perhaps 20 in glasgow, 2 in cardiff. As we head to sunday into monday, High Pressure stays out towards the North West, those winds coming in from a North Or North easterly direction. So, they will bring more cloud, particularly in the east during the day on monday, where it will be a little bit cool where you are exposed to that breeze off the north sea. So, around some of these east coasts, temperatures generally in the mid to high teens. Youll notice things feel cooler with the gusts of wind at around 30 mph for some areas. Lighter winds towards the west and its here that youll see the best of any sunshine. The temperature is a Touch Cooler by the time we get to monday, around about 15 to 2 degrees. Things not changing in a hurry through the next few days. Tuesday, spot the difference very similar once again, dry across the board. Fairly cloudy, particularly towards the east. Best of any breaks in that cloud to be found further west on tuesday. Things dont really change much for the week ahead. Weve got High Pressure still sitting out to the north or North West, so it is looking dry. They will be spells of sunshine, temperatures generally somewhere between about 17 to 2 degrees. Bye bye.
