Today’s photo of the day, part of “a photo a day challenge 2020”, is about celebrating the Relaxed Lockdown with my family on the beach on Canvey Island. I am starting to like this relaxed lockdown. The streets and beaches are almost empty. Nobody is wearing any masks, and just mind their own business. I just hope that some of my friends will realise that by staying inside on a beautiful day like this, they are weakening their immune system, which will make them more vulnerable against other common diseases. Let’s not forget that sooner or later will all going […]

Social distancing Security Staff were deployed to remind people to keep their distance. Southend’s seafront promenade has been widened as part of moves to keep people safe and socially distant following the lockdown easing. A few people preferred to sit […]
Today’s photo of the day, part of “a photo a day challenge 2020”, is about the way we end up socialising during lockdown. This is pathetic. Government is saying that these measures were taken to so the NHS can cope with the influx of potential patients infected with Covid-19. While we all save the NHS my mother is in pain every day waiting for a hip replacement which has been delayed due to Covid-19. Like my mother there are so many other cases. I ask myself again, is this lockdown really worth it and who is counting the damage it […]

Have you spot it in the image below? On January 10, I captured on camera the moment of creation right in front of my kitchen window. 4 months later the Fox Cubs are here! Around this time of the year, it’s common to see month-old cubs developing survival skills above ground. Like, comment & share!

Then, I washed a pickled cabbage in cold water and separate […]

Today’s photo of the day, part of “a photo a day challenge 2020”, has been taken under the moonlight in front of my house. I feel that I am running out of ideas. Taking a photo a day can be easy unless I am trying to make it memorable. The lockdown doesn’t help in this regards. Same shit, different day. As I was writing this blog post, I stopped and listened to the WHO press conference in which they announced that their recommendations will stay the same and they will reconvene again in 90 days. So much bullshit in one […]
