Today was the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century and it will not happen again for 100 years so most of us will only experience it once in a lifetime and we could easily miss it. How did this come to my attention, my granddaughter Elizabeth sent me a WhatsApp to let me know. It’s a great date to be born I wonder how many babies arrived today? How many people were 21 today? I’ll shut up, I don’t want to bore you.
Covid news is not getting any better and we’re all going to have to wait and see how things pan out with the vaccine and how the new variants can be contained. I can’t imagine what state the country is going to be in at the end of this. Unemployment has to be at an all time high and Brexit will not help matters. Flooding following storm Christoph and other weather systems are causing havoc and more distress to people around the UK with 200 flood alerts recorded. The PM went to Manchester to see how the environment agency was coping and saw that during the night the use of sluice gates and improvised emergency flood defences have hopefully protected 10,000 homes. I’ve got everything crossed for those people.
Idiots will always be idiots and a father and his two children had to be rescued from the sea off the coast of Anglesea where they had visited during the storm yesterday. They had also broken local level 4 lockdown rules. The three were cut off by rising tides as they walked on the beach. The man received a fine, hopefully a big one. The government today announced a fine of £800 for attending an illegal house party and the person hosting or organising such an event will receive a fine of £10,000. I hope my grandchildren who are back at their student houses are aware of this.
Also in Manchester what appeared to be a sinkhole swallowed a car and a few hours later two house fronts next to it collapsed into the road. What a shock, there you are having a cup of tea or watching a bit of tele and suddenly the front of your house disappears. Fortunately no one was hurt but the residents of four properties have been rehoused. It seems that a sewer had collapsed causing the sinkhole to appear and affecting the nearby building. It never rains but it pours.
A man has been accused of killing an acquaintance of his and chopping up the body. Police in Denver Colorado were quick to solve the crime after the body parts were found in two suitcases. The murderer hadn’t realised that a United Airways luggage label was attached to the suitcase and this led the police back to the murderer. Just another type of idiot. Hey people, let’s be careful out there.😴💤😴
