The trump visited the Ford factory in Michigan today and although he had been asked to wear a face mask in line with current state law he was not seen wearing one in public. He said that he had worn one while in a back area but didn’t want to give the press the pleasure of seeing him wearing one. He also has been saying for three years that Michigan named him ‘Man of the Year. This has been checked out and shown to be a complete lie. Lock ‘im up! I say. A retired butler, Wilson Jerman who served eleven presidents in the White House having started work there as a cleaner has died aged 91 after contracting coronavirus.
David Beckham’s been a naughty boy again. He lost his driving license for six months last year for using his phone while at the wheel. Just recently, in the Cotswolds where he has been in lockdown with his family, he has been spotted not wearing a seat belt and twice parking on double yellow lines. It seems our sporty hero doesn’t like to walk the few yards from an approved parking spot when popping into his local shop. Or maybe he just thinks he’s special because he earned a lot of dosh kicking a ball around. Lock ‘im up! I say.
I’ve been on the beach today in Southbourne, went with my friend Margaret and we took a sandwich and had a little picnic. Not overly busy and heading east towards Hengistbury Head it became even emptier. Such a lovely, normal feeling day, a lady asked us to watch her bag while she paddled in the sea, kids were playing with buckets and spades and we sat at one of the tables on the beach munching our picnic and having a coffee. This evening I popped off to Lidl and that was also norma inasmuch as I bought more than I needed, didn’t find a couple of things I wanted and I got into trouble with the self serve checkout again. Nothing new there.
An Irish military helicopter had been on a life saving mission taking a patient to a Dublin hospital. On their return journey a rear door fell of the plane and landed in the grounds of a secondary school. No one was hurt and the door was collected by the local Gardai and returned to the Air Corps. Somebody is going to be in trouble.
Now all you grandmothers out there who are spending lockdown posting photos of your grandchildren beware. Following EU Data Protection ruling a grandmother has been ordered by a court in the Netherland to remove photos of her grandkids. If she fails to do so she will be fined fifty euros per day up to one thousand euros. It didn’t say if that was per photo. It seems this poor old grannie has fallen out with the mother of the kids and just wanted to show off a little in front of her facebook friends. Some mean old mother out there. I’ll have to be careful, my granddaughter Elizabeth and I spent one outing taking selfies around Bournemouth and our favourites were the ‘toilet selfies’ snapped in a restaurant in the square. Time for bed sleepy head, nighty night.
