Coming to London to run the marathon had always been a dream for Niccy although one that very nearly became shattered just weeks before. Double vaccinated and having worked on the NHS frontline throughout the pandemic and after months spent being cautious and many a day clad head to toe in PPE he'd taken time off to watch the Euros and joined friends he hadn't seen for quite a while for the final screened down at the local pub just twelve weeks before where he believes was where he then contracted Covid 19. Things had been touch and go for the following weeks he says as he fought the virus, breathless at times fatigued at others while he fought his way back to a level of health to resume his training and prepare for the marathon. Today he stands having overcome his own personal personal battle, it may be not be the time he'd wanted but he tells me of how grateful he his, thankful of the vaccines and being able to take to the streets after two years of waiting after 2020's run had been cancelled. 26.2 miles completed and one of 35,300 runners crossing the line in London with thousands more joining in remotely around the globe.

THE BATTLE OF HYDE PARK.
From joyous singing of 'Don't Look Back In Anger' while putting the last year behind those in the circle to a full on battle within ten minutes. Yes, the crowd were breaking Covid rules but after a year locked up and with the infection rate now at 25 in a 100,000 in London many may sympathise with the mainly young crowd for singing with joy. Looking at this small crowd and then witnessing the crowded streets of the Oxford Street shopping district and nightlife areas of Soho with its bargain hunters and revellers ignoring any social distancing one does wonder who was exactly in charge at the Met this day. No negotiator, nobody representing the Police coming over to ask the crowd to disperse just a group of officers pushing and barging their way into the circle attempting to grab and confiscate any instruments they could find igniting the few to revolt while tarnishing the many.

This in turn led to him, cooking more and as the weight began to fall off he began walking further and exercising more. Just over a year later he's dropped an incredible 13 stone and now weights in at just a shade over 11 feeling not only physically fitter but mentally also.

Loved by the masses of Harry Potter fans the car also plucks a string in my heart as I remember back to my childhood and the one 345 GRL nicknamed 'Bessy' driven by my grandfather and then after by my mother. This 1959 model would have cost £310 straight out of the showroom in it's day, the equivalent to 152 of the tiny ales D sups on as he finishes the day.

Piccadilly Circus London. 19.34 Saturday 03rd October during the Great Global Pandemic of 2020
With the virus having flattened and life feeling to be slowly returning to some sense of normality Covid 19 cases begin to surge after 12,872 people test positive for the virus as of 9AM this morning.
901,905 tests for coronavirus have now been carried out of which 171,253 have tested positive an increase of 6,032 since the day before.
Across all settings the government added that a further 49 people had died within (within the new 28 days of testing positive rule) bringing the total number of UK deaths to a total of 42,317.
The latest figure of 12,872 new cases which puts the UK's total number of cases at 480,017 is the highest daily rise since the pandemic began although while saying this experts have warned it could be misleading as it is unclear how many people had been infected during the height of the first wave due to the lack of community testing at the time. -

After what's already been a strange year the Pandemic Proms comes to an end as Paddy and his group come to celebrate and say thank you to the EU for helping fund music and the arts in the UK for over the last 40 plus years. With an Orchestra of just 65 down from the usual 300 and singers standing in the stalls to ensure Social distancing rules they played to a hall empty of flags and without an audience joining in and singing along and in a reversal of an earlier BBC decision whereupon the words were thought too Imperialistic for this day and age sang Rule Britannia and Land Of Hope And Glory. Later South African Soprano Golda Suchultz said after that she sang them as a tribute to the Windrush Generation, Migrants and those that have come to Britain.

Closed until 07th of July after the lockdown business is still slow and sporadic here at Billy Boots Cabman's Shelter & Cafe one of only 13 of these Victorian institutions left in the whole of London. As the Pandemic took hold Billy fell back on his pension as staff were furloughed and at present won't be coming back anytime soon. He thanks the Lord above that as the restrictions lifted Construction Workers were able to return to work in higher numbers and at a faster rate than the Cab Drivers with their fallen demand reported in the news today the 26th August from the London Licensed Taxi Drivers Association that their Taxi fleet has declined by over 2,000 drivers over the months of the pandemic with reported takings down between 80-90%.
Construction sites will come and eventually go while the traditional clientele of Taxi Drivers now bring their own packed lunches each day and with the cafe having to observe the Social Distancing rules and only able to fit four customers at a time the days ahead will be tough but I feel and am sure Billy Boots will be tougher and see these days of the pandemic through.

AFTERNOON DREAMS OF TRAVEL CHERISHING TRAVELS PAST.
As a child plays airports with his City Lego set on a rainy day in deepest Somerset while miles away in an office somewhere in Switzerland decisions are being made behind the scenes and a few days later on the 22nd August STA Travel has become the latest travel firm to fall victim to the Covid-19 pandemic. The company, which grew out of a student travel business and specialised in trips for young people, including gap years and volunteer projects, has today ceased trading immediately closing more than 50 shops across the UK.
The firm announced through a statement on its website that customers with bookings would "Receive further communication in the coming days and sorry to everybody for the inconvenience and the limited information available at this time," About 500 UK jobs are now thought to be at risk as a result of the firm's failure. The firm's parent company Diethelm Keller Holding Ltd based in Switzerland, said the pandemic had "Brought the travel industry to a standstill". Meanwhile in Bath, Luca's gone for his dinner.

Another chapter written into the history of the British Museum that opened before the 13 colonies of the United States agreed on the Declaration Of Independence and the young Mozart visited and walked around it's vast halls of wondrous treasures.

'It's about time'. A thought echoed by the many before and now all the more after the shocking murder of George Floyd was filmed by 17 year old Darnella Frazier while taking her nine year old cousin to a local food store in Minneapolis Minnesota. For 10 minutes and nine seconds she filmed until the officers and Mr. Floyd left the scene; the former on foot, the latter on a stretcher. Ms Frazier could never have imagined at that point the chain of events that her video would set in motion. With bravery and at the click of a button on her mobile phone the teen had spurred wave after wave of 'Black Lives Matter' protests not only in the us but across the world.

Foreign NHS Mental Health Nurse & Techno fan Westminster Bridge 'Clapping For Heroes' 21st May 19.58 21st May during the Great Global Pandemic of 2020
In Alexandra's own words;
"I’m here to thank all the NHS workers and key workers for risking their lives during these times, I’m here to apologise in the name of the government for all the families suffering a loss in these trying times, I’m here to thank everyone that claps for us essential workers genuinely and I am here to tell that group of people across the river from us to stop their hypocritical clapping."
"The foreign nurses from this exact hospital we are near have saved Boris Johnson’s life and yet he wants them to pay £600 plus for themselves and each family member here with them for working in the NHS on top of their taxes saying he can’t think of another way to fund the service. I’ve worked in the NHS in the mental health sector for years, there have never been money for our service in their view, even when there was no pandemic! That is his thanks to all of us that risk our lives for others and have no other choice. He doesn’t have money for the NHS but they had £500 Billion to bail the banks out 10 years ago, they had enough money to give themselves the Members Of Parliament a £10 Thousand salary rise each for working from home. Whereas the essential workers get claps and surcharges, pay caps, and get dismissed from the bereavement scheme. We’re good enough to save you but not good enough to deserve safe working conditions or pay. Shame on the government, shame.!"
"Thank you to all key workers, you deserve better, we deserve better.!" -
