It’s a fact that Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove attract visitors from all over the country and are encouraged to do so by ‘Visit Dorset’ our local tourist initiative. It’s a small beach and very shingly so you are likely to feel a bit hemmed in and might need some jelly shoes to protect your feet. I don’t know many locals that head for there when the weather is warm and visitors likely to be arriving. They’re more likely to go for a walk or a longer hike when the temperature is down a bit. I met up with some friends from London who had come to Bournemouth for the day yesterday and one of them said if he wanted to swim he would go to Lulworth Cove. He thought because it is a small cove and beach he would feel safer, more like being in a pool. Sadly that doesn’t seem to be the case. Once again a swimmer got into trouble in the water there on Sunday and this time he lost his life. A young man in his twenties, out for a day with friends.
I know I keep on about public toilets being closed but it can affect your day out. What I never really stopped to consider was people going about their daily jobs such as postmen or postladies. Now it seems that one of their number has been dismissed for having a pee in a public place. Oh dear, someone saw him, filmed him and complained and he was fired for gross misconduct. Now an employment tribunal has found that this should not be a sackable offence and that it apparently happens all the time by both male and female staff.
Ten days time and life could almost be getting back to normal although the new rules do seem a tad confusing. Two metres distancing will be reduced to one metre but stay further apart if you can. Go out to a restaurant but leave your name and phone number in case you need to be contacted about an outbreak. There’ll be a bit of false information given out there. And if it’s like the public transport in Dorset, it’s compulsory but not mandatory. In other words if I’m some stroppy so and so and say ‘well I’m not doing that’ then I don’t have to.
Someone by the name of Scarlett Moffatt has popped up on some news feeds recently. I didn’t know who she was which isn’t unusual as most so called celebrities are unknown to yours truly. I googled her and found ‘A reality tv personality best know for appearing in gogglebox’. She has just claimed that she has proof that the Bermuda Triangle actually exists and says that it’s a portal for time travel. I guess we really must take this seriously then? Don’t get lost in your dreams. Good night. 😴💤😴
