Peter Allen Greenbaum, known professionally as Peter Green, passed away on 25 July aged 73. He was an English blues rock singer/songwriter.
I saw Peter when he played with John Mayall but, sadly, not when he founded Fleetwood Mac. In the 70s and 80s he suffered from periods of mental illness and destitution.
His playing was superb, spare but full of emotion. He was highly rated by his peer group which included Eric Clapton.
Life has been returning to what has been described as the new normal in La Xara. Our local restaurant Replanell has reopened under new management and is, so far, OK.
We have been taking trips into Denia and Javea for shopping and restaurants and it is sad to see that a number of businesses have not survived. As we have moved into August the traffic has increased and so has the ´creative`driving. Certain areas in both towns are to be avoided.
We celebrated my 71st with a visit to Posedonia restaurant in Javea. Food and service was, as usual, great.
The lockdown has given us the opportunity to really investigate our village. So many back roads and paths leading to parks and fields. At the moment the temperatures dictate that walking around the village is really only sensible early or late. When we move into September the temperatures will be more manageable. Our village really is lovely and we are fortunate to live here.
At this point in time we have no plans to venture outside of Spain so our globe trotting has been put on hold.
This is an excerpt from the UK Government´s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE).
´The term 'lockdown' should be banned, as Leicester locals describe feeling like 'lepers'
The word 'lockdown' should be banned as the UK moves towards tackling Covid-19 with a more local approach, it's been urged.
There are concerns the word, which so accurately encompassed Britons' lives for months, is associated with 'punishment' and 'blame'.
The Independent Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviours (SPI-B) 'strongly recommend national government, PHE, the media and others cease using the term "local lockdown"' and instead switch to 'area of intervention'.
The sub-committee of SAGE added: 'The language of a "lockdown" is inherently punitive. It is critical to start to reframe the issue by moving away from this punitive language as well as from an overall punitive approach.
'Areas experiencing the reintroduction of restrictions should not be subject to "blame".'
Leicester was the first area in England to go into a 'local lockdown' on June 30 because infections soared well above the average.
