I’ve had the Covid swab and it wasn’t bad. As someone said, it’s quick and it’s efficient. Over before I had time to think about it. Now I’m quarantined till I’ve had the op and then it’s upwards and onwards except for the fact that the rules on gatherings have been tightened. The list of what we can and can’t do will be published before the ruling becomes effective on Monday. Alan Sugar has been on some morning breakfast show and has said that everyone should go back to work and get the economy moving. He thought still working from home was a load of tosh.
I’m shocked to read that there were no paramedics on site at the Manchester Arena bombing. One arrived after 18 minutes and more after 40 minutes. How can an event with forty thousand attendees not have anyone there in case of an emergency. The injured were carried out on makeshift stretchers with only one actual stretcher being used. I’m not only shocked I actually feel bloody angry.
A 64 year old conman from Boscombe (next to Bournemouth for those who don’t know) is serving a jail sentence for conning elderly victims out of their savings. He promised to carry out work on their homes which was mostly unnecessary or not finished after payment had been received. He made over half a million pounds from his fraudulent activity and had been ordered to pay back a quarter of a million. Now his lawyer is claiming he’s suffering from dementia and can’t remember what he did with the money. How convenient is that?
A 16 year old Derby schoolgirl has been sent home on her first day back because teachers said her eyebrows were too dark and couldn’t be natural and her skin colour was fake tan. She had just come back from a holiday in Portugal where she claims she sunbathed and she has naturally thick and dark eyebrows. I must say they looked natural and she looked rather smart. I’m glad my granddaughter Alice got her eyebrows plucked and shaped before going back to her school. Very nice they looked too.
An 80 year old man went hiking in the Yorkshire Dales. He started out with a fellow hiker but during a storm they somehow were separated and our friend went off radar for three days. His family feared that he might have had an accident and was lying around somewhere or maybe had died and wouldn’t be found. Sixty local people were out looking for him to no avail. The police called a press conference which was held in a pub to make an appeal to help find him. Just as they were about to start the lost hiker made an appearance to the delight of family and friends. He had been found by a wildlife photographer and helped back to his family. He said he’d had three days of wild camping but when speaking on the phone to his wife he hung up before she had a chance to nag him. Bravery only goes so far.😴💤😴
