Therefore, I've made the choice to also do a fortnightly shop myself to my local Tescos (in Aberdare) - those trips, plus one or two more to the local Co-op, are the only food shopping I've done in the last eight weeks. In that time, I've also had to travel to local doctor's surgeries three times for blood tests, have taken my dog on a once a day walk very early every morning and I've gone on a once a week ten minute drive without stopping anywhere to make sure my somewhat unreliable car is still working!
As a result of the various Government announcements in the last few days, the only change I will be making to the above lifestyle is that I will start taking the dog for an additional walk today. I have decided to follow the advice of the Welsh Government, while ignoring what the UK Government says - I have come to that decision because I could understand what Mark Drakeford was saying, whereas I couldn't make out exactly what the Prime Minister, who I thought waved his arms about a lot and looked in good spirits, was trying to tell me.
