Saturday 28th March – Day Five
Good morning all, hope that you are well?
I was talking to my son this morning, and he was complaining that everyday was like ‘Groundhog Day’. Do you know this movie? A TV weatherman (played by Bill Murray) finds himself living the same day over and over again when he goes on location to a town in America to film a report about their annual Groundhog Day.
His surreal situation drives him to despair, until he sees a way of turning the situation to his advantage. If you have not seen the movie, I urge you to watch it, one of my favourites.
My son has a point, each morning; I wake up, meditate, workout, journal, have breakfast, work at my computer, have lunch, work again, have dinner and watch an episode of tv and then go to bed – never interacting with another soul – strange days.
What can I share with you today?
Thanks to Dominic who shared this very important information. The government will on Saturday begin the delivery of emergency food parcels to thousands of the 1.5 million people it has identified as particularly vulnerable.The boxes will contain basic essentials such as pasta, toilet roll, cans of soup and beans, teabags and custard cream biscuits.
The scheme is targeted at those with specific health issues, such as respiratory conditions including cystic fibrosis or those who have blood or bone marrow cancer, or have had an organ transplant.Here is the link to that information:
