A nice little road trip in France with a week in Nice sounds idyllic to me. A couple from Berkshire did just that and on the way home they stopped, like many people do, in a shopping mall to load up with wine from the region. So far so good. The drove through the Channel Tunnel and then when they were on the M25 another motorist signalled that there was a problem with the roof box. They pulled over and tied it down with a tow rope and arrived home without any more problem. Parked up outside their house they heard a noise coming from the roof box and realised they had a stowaway who couldn’t get out. The police were called and a young Sudanese male emerged and was led away. The driver said he was surprised there was enough room because he had stuffed the box pretty full.
Drone’s are becoming very popular and being used by families having a bit of fun, by police having a different sort of fun and even by soldiers in combat. In Israel a drone was used to drop bags of cannabis over the city of Tel Aviv, this was definitely a lot of fun for some lucky finders keepers. It was sent by the Green Drone Group who seek to legalise the recreational use of the drug. On their web channel they had said ‘The time has come, is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s the green drone sending you free cannabis from the skies’. Two men were arrested. Ah, spoilsports.
A Bournemouth company is becoming successful with it’s virtual tours software. They are creating digital 3D models of real world spaces which can be used to advertise hotels showing exactly what guests will find when they arrive. The company is called Yooport and a sample tour shown on their web site is of the Sunseeker Yacht Company in Poole and looks very impressive. My son did something similar to show off his properties in Begur on the Costa Brava, I can’t remember what he used but no doubt he will tell us quite soon.
Some people will go to any lengths not to wear a face mask when the rules clearly state they should. Some people get angry and shout at or fight with officials. One passenger on an American Airlines flight handed a member of staff a note stating exactly what she thought of her and her rules concerning masks. It wasn’t very polite. An English man though took a less aggressive tack. He purchased a tube of Pringles and made it last for the whole of a four and a half hour flight. As it’s permitted to take the mask off while eating he just ate very, very, very slowly. A large bag of sunflower seeds could be very useful.
I’ve got one more story but I’m keeping it for tomorrow. Time for bed sleepy head. Nighty night.😴💤😴
