So allow essential workers off and on. Everyone else stays on island and food comes in on lorries. Cut out the inessential travel to the mainland.

That is what is supposed to happen but some residents have essential hospital appointments for example. One friend has to go once per week for chemo and there are other examples of potentially life threatening conditions having to be investigated urgently.
I have two appointments which are on hold but one could be dangerous if left too long.

I can remember back in the 60s or 70s there was a photo in a model magazine of a scale working model of a BRM V16 engine .

Does it get a better signal in there?

Not that you’d notice no, but is does now have a fragrance of fresh laundry.

Dropped it in the loo, did you?

lolz, no but it did get soaked in the fron pocket of my jacket yesterday whilst out on my MTB ride.

On a completely unrelated note, I’d like to mention that some posters are posting items that are far too interesting. Stop it please.

Mount them on your bike and warn pedestrians of your approach

I've just finished my first Zoom conference (because, for reasons I no longer remember, she doesn't use Skype) with my daughter and 3 youngest grandchildren. It's a lot quieter here than there.

Put the bell on the ribbon, hang it around your neck, and shake it when you're in the 300 yard supermarket queue. For added effectiveness, do this while shouting ''Unclean, Unclean''. The queue will get much shorter in no time.

I've just had an hour's spin around some country lanes in the company of Wiggy #1, the Rouen.

I do hope that somebody has put black boot polish on the end

I've been wondering about that, both ours ended up in the kitchen bin, if our granddaughter had still been visiting we might have given them to her to play with.

Always check that what looks like a slightly muddy patch on a footpath is not actually ankle deep...
