    Postie turned up today with a package (chia and flax seeds), rather earlier than normal. He said the office was only doing parcels today, because 61 members of staff are off for covid related reasons. Bonkers - I wouldn't even have guessed there were that many staff in total.

    Pretty sure this was illegal (if caught) well before Covid...

    What drives me up the ******* wall is our local community fb chat is talking about the Y6's not getting a leaving do and the parents are trying to organise one for them. That would be the Y6's that are isolating becuase of covid? But yeah, go ahead and arrange a party for them. Nothing wrong with that right?

    Getting proper heated so could be worth following the thread if my bloody pressure would allow it.

Complete confusion about what to do at the end of the hols if infection rates still spiking. Being no yard stick for when it's safe they've no guides what to do. Could be just open and make the best of what rolls in.

    Here in London people use bus stops.

    Yesterday I saw a guy drinking at a bus stop.

    When lockdown first occurred I saw an old lady with a shopping trolley throw empty spirit bottles into a bin near a bus stop.
    Since drinking on the Tube was banned, there's a dearth of public access drinking spots now

    I just had a few beers outside in local pubs, thankfully not many people out tonight, not going out for a very long time now!
