Nature is doing more than bouncing back. Mrs Thistle reckons a bumblebee flew in through the bathroom window, weed on the window sill, then flew out again. Do bees wee?
Anyway two pluses.
1) Minor plus - the contactless spend limit is increasing to £45 (according the email Mrs Thistle just got from the CEO of Asda)
2) Major plus - my neighbour has just got a job after 6 months looking, part of the massive recruitment drive in the local NHS

I'm enjoying exchanging smiles with the strangers I meet on my constitutionals, as we step into roads or off paths to give each other a huge passing distance.

This, sadly, is the state the first ever outright champions of Scotland is reduced to.
A bit more seriously, we've also been reduced to begging our players (already part timers) to take half wages during the shut down.

IT occurred to me, during the 8pm clap, that people might genuinely realise what a fucking great thing the NHS is and how we have got to fight tooth and nail to keep hold of it in its' current state (or even better).

We were actually busy eating, we figured that if one of us is NHS we can skip it...
Wonder if the knobheads next door who have given us endless noise disturbances for over a year knowing full well the missus job were out clapping...

The Henley Festival has been postponed until July 2021 because of the coronavirus outbreak.
The black-tie music festival was due to take place from 8-12 July. It will now return next year with the full 2020 line-up including headliners James Blunt, Madness and Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

That was the 2020 line-up? Who was headlining last year, Martine McCutcheon and Toploader?

I’ve been averaging 4 miles a day on my legally allowed exercise.
(Across public footpaths and canal towpaths. Probably see fewer than 6 people in that time.)
Normally I get in from work and sit on the sofa. So actually getting up and out is helping.
