Covid infections possible inconsistency – strawberries and domestics.

Another measure of Covid and other respiratory infections is GP visits, but these are not showing the same pattern.

However age related infections by region show an increase in some areas, but I wonder whether this is consistent with the national figure.

As is mentioned in the report, data from several sources may be inconsistent. I support when they all showing the same pattern, if that’s up then we should be concerned.

Today has been lovely weather wise, and a trip on foot to town for milk, potatoes and eggs took my step count up again. Also, fortunately, English strawberries are now here. Hopefully the car will be back next week, as I want to go out next weekend. A walk down to the garage tomorrow will find out.

Domestically, sorting out chaos, but chaos is refusing to be sorted, or at least is very reluctant. 

Currently listening to the programmes marking the 100^th anniversary of BBC Outside Broadcasts – the one with the ‘cello and the nightingale started it. Stray birdsong round the house makes me think that one has flown in. I wouldn’t mind, just don’t want them to be trapped and injure themselves. And also remembering bird population figures from my degree, no matter how many off spring a pair of say, ducks produce, for a stable population there need to be two left at the start of the next breeding season. Over their lifetimes a pair of ducks need to have just over two survivors. This is natural selection. I suppose that I’ll have to teach this again when I do what I’ve promised for websites. Next year.

The week ahead workwise brings more marking. This is my last before retirement. It could be my last ever, but I don’t want to tempt fate.
