away from scotland and northern ireland. temperatures across southern england may not drop much below 20 celsius. for many of us tomorrow, we are going to start with a lot of cloud, again misty and murky conditions, a few showers cropping up through parts of the midlands and northern england. for most a mainly dry day, the cloud should thin and break so we will see some sunshine again, the highest temperatures across central and southern england.

my partner lives overseas. snoring. baby's right here. a quarter of the world's population is now living under some form of lockdown due to coronavirus. more than 3 billion people in almost 70 countries and territories have been asked to stay at home. 0.99... not seen that before. not that we have anywhere to drive to right now. my partner is supposed to be checking in for his flight. which obviously isn't happening. 0k, hold on, hold on. take a second, because the next time you walk out of this building, we're going to have our baby with us. you ready?

i've got the really short ones because we're having a summer baby. i expect it to be quite hot. hi, dog. my name is melinda and i am 33 years old. i live in london and my partner lives overseas. i am 38 weeks pregnant with my first baby. he lives in barbados. my dad's bajan, so i go there quite often, so that is how we met. it is a long—distance relationship but we are doing 0k. we just thought we'd throw a baby into the mixjust to spice it up a bit. this is an exact side—profile of daddy. i was like, "yes, this baby looks like his dad, ioo%." my partner was due to fly out in a couple of weeks

to be here for the birth. due to the virus, we have had to postpone his flight indefinitely. we speak every day and that helps to keep in contact but it is difficult. the first week of working from home was really, really difficult. i literally just had the news on constantly. that was when they were making announcements to change the excel centre near me into a hospital and building these morgues and everything. i just felt like it was something out of horror movie, the world is going to end. i am going to have start stockpiling food or running in other people's abandoned houses and finding their stockpiled food! it was all a bit crazy. by the time we got to lockdown, i was begging for it because it was getting really scary. this is the baby's room. it was meant to be completed by now. but the floor isn't done. so it has become a bit

of a dumping ground, waiting for this bed to be moved. but we can't due to coronavirus, can't get the flooring done due to coronavirus. you have an image of how it is going to look and now it is this dumping ground of baby stuff. had to cancel my baby shower, just lots of things that you are looking forward... sorry! sorry, i didn't mean to get upset. it is just a really hard time. it just kind of took away the enjoyment of having a baby and all the little things that aren't really a big deal by themselves. but i think once you get over that and, like, you realise, 0k, this is out of my control — these are small things in the grand scheme of my health and my baby's health and so on,

you kind of adjust. i have got lots of parcels delivered randomly with lots of different gift. so it was still exciting, it was still fine, i still got spoiled — just in a different way. modern—day social distancing cards meant that all my messages were printed. this book that my mum got me, baby's first year. "this is a page from a newspaper on the day you were born." not entirely sure i want to put that in there, you know? these things were in the news — coronavirus. this will be a really interesting thing for baby to look back on, because we are in a moment of history, aren't we?
