8 April 2020 – Lockdown Day 27


      

Parcent to Benichembla – 28 October 2019

Tuesday 7April
What a shock last night to hear that Boris Johnston has now been moved to intensive care.   It was bad that he was admitted to hospital yesterday, but it now sounds much more serious than previously admitted.

Here in Spain the news is better.   The daily stats are improving day on day for almost a week.   The figures are still grim, and only second to Italy, but at least there is some positive news for a change.

The lockdown has been extended to 26 April, and not likely to be any relaxation of the personal restrictions before then.  But there is some talk of more trades being allowed to work again.   And if the figures continue to improve there is some hope that things might be relaxed after Easter.   But this is all just wishing and hoping at present.

Sent out the third lockdown video today.   If you would like to watch it just follow the link below:




Javea to Denia Tower – 8 April 2019
Wednesday 8 April
Jan finally did a large shop in Jalon this morning.  I won’t say a weekly shop, because it is eleven days since she last went.   I can quite understand that she puts it off as long as possible.

There has been a lot of chatter on Facebook about having to use the shop nearest to your home.   So she was a little concerned going to Jalon, rather than our small, local shop in Parcent.  But there were no road checks or any other problems.

However the queue outside Masymas was much bigger than last week.   About twenty today compared with about six last time.   This may be because it will soon be Easter.  Or it may be because less folk are going to Benissa because of the talk about police check points and fines of 600 euros!

She was also surprised that pretty well everyone was wearing a face mask.   Must have been homemade, because they are pretty well impossible to buy here.   The only exception was a man standing behind her at the tills, who was spluttering and sneezing.   No mask, no handkerchief and no consideration for anyone else.

She did a massive shop, which should last for the best part of another two weeks.   It included 5 litres of red wine, which might not last two weeks!
