25-March-2020

Welcome to the second day of lockdown. Started the day attending online Holy mass. Today, 25th of March we celebrate Solemnity of annunciation, which comemorates the visit of archangel Gabriel, during which he informed her that she would be the mother of Jesus Christ, the son of God.

Today I came across  Irish saint Eunan - whose faith transcends petty divisions. He has intervened to liberate war captives adn to claim teh safety during war for womn, childten and clerics

Day by day number of casualities are rising all over the world. Italy and Spain are really struggling where the death toll has surpassed China. U.K goverment has decided to go ahead with the measures taken - Stat at Home, Save NHS and Save life,

1. Go out only to buy essentials
2. Go out alone or with family members to excersise once a day
3. Work from home wherever possible

I managed to buy a bag of keral rice and chapathi flour from Kerala stores, Gillingham and felt releaved as most of the supermarkets are stripped empty. Didnt manage to get milk and egg. There were long queues at Tesco.

On positive note, for the first time Emmanuel and myself listened to David Walliams' Audio book " Grubby Gertrude", which was amazging. Emmanuel got hooked to it that he listened to "MineCraft - Diamond Sword" straight after than :-).

Hoping that things would get better in the coming days, signing off!!

Day 1 of complete lock down - 24- 03- 2020
----------------------------------

God knows for how many days!! But we are prepared to follow the rules set out by Prime minister Borris Johnson, to Save lifes and Save NHS

May be it is a time to wind down and reflect and come out of this with new arrows in your quiver.

These are things I am trying to follow.

1. Wake up by 6
2. Attend online Holy Mass
2. Work from Home
3. Home schooling
   I really appreciate St.Benedicts school for their extra effort. All the work is well prepared and      delivered to the kids using ClassDojo, Rising Star ( reading materials), SPAG ( English Grammar), Matheletics and Timestable Rockstar. All we need to do is convince Emmanuel and make him do it :-)
4. Excercise
5. Prepare Dinner
6. Home Prayer
7. Reading Books / ISO 26262

Emmanuel and Evangeline did Little Voices over Google Hangouts. It was a very pleasant experience.

Hope things would get much better and people would follow the rules set by government and hope to come on the other side of things soon,

Thanking God for keeping us all safe and really appreatiate the work done by nurses and doctors in these unprecedented times.
