You all know what happened in Bournemouth yesterday and today, one million people are estimated to have arrived in one day. Camping on the beach and clifftop because hotels are closed, ALL their rubbish left behind (slobs) and parking on double yellows,at least that might bring in some revenue for the council, they’re going to need it. I popped to see a friend this afternoon and when I came from Southbourne at 5.30 there wasn’t one available parking space along the clifftop. I bet the sea smells like a toilet after all that lot have been there. I have a message for the visitors ‘Take your rubbish home with you, we don’t want it’. Somehow I don’t think they read such an intellectual blog as this.
An Irish hair salon has, apparently, provoked outrage when they reopened after lockdown. The problem? they want to charge more for fixing their customers’ hair as it will take longer and use more products. Quite right too I say, they also have had to buy protective clothing and sanitisers etc. in order to look after the customers. Tell the people in advance, don’t be greedy and if they don’t like it, we know what they can do.
In Florida (the one in USA) there has been a spike in coronavirus cases as in many parts of the country. In Palm Beach County the commissioners were discussing at a public meeting whether to make the wearing of face masks obligatory. The public, or at least some of them, really didn’t like this suggestion and accused the commissioners of being communist dictators and following the devil’s law. They also said that the officials were violating the constitution. One woman said she was going to carry out a citizen’s arrest for crimes against humanity. (this is for wearing a mask and the two metre rule). She said a lot more mentioning Bill Gates and Hilary Clinton and she is going to vote for the Trump. I’m beginning to see why people might vote for him, it’s all to do with the big conspiracy theory against American citizens.
I think my son and his family have gone to their pad in Spain on holiday. At least he showed a photo on FaceBook of his car all packed with luggage and another pic of the car getting charged up in France. So, he’s either going on holiday or he’s running away from home. No sign of Claudia or the kids, is everything ok Cludsy?
I watched Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads on tv this evening, or rather I listened as there’s no need to even look at the tv if you don’t want to. Tonight’s was Soldiering On with Harriet Walker which follows the death of the heroine’s husband. Very clever dialogue and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think I’ll catch up on all the others. I wonder if it could help improve my writing. Good night everyone, don’t come to Bournemouth unless you live here. Although the weather is already on the change so you might not want to. Sweet dreams. 😴💤😴
