Well it is now hissing down!

Second is finished and time for porridge. Reading the paper I see Birmingham is potentially next for lockdown. I can't help but wonder if we have now reached the point whereby we just have to get on with life? I mentioned this yesterday while walking but got no response. So I guess I shouldn't think or say it.

Anyway this is NOT** the place for debate, just an old fart thinking out loud. Easy when you're retired.

** whoops just added that word to get the meaning right.

I've heard a few people saying lets just get on with life, I think a lot of people are fed up with all the faffing about.

I disagree with you
And
I disagree with Paul.

I don't really but thought I would start a debate
We need some conflicting stats

Its hissing down here.
I was up at 05 40.
Just had my toast with jam and think I will join MrsD who, sensibly, is still in bed.

I just read that Covid19 may well be something that we will have to live with. According to one member of the sage group, covid might not go away ever and we might have to have vaccinations at regular intervals just like having flu jabs.

I've thought that since March.
Some people are so scared of dying that they are frightened to live.
I reckon that, when all of this is over, there will be a lot of people who will still be frightened to leave their home and will wear full PPE if they do venture out.

It is wet and dark here. The bracken is starting to go brown and drop already.

That, sadly, would not surprise me.
I was told yesterday that if my fatigue etc problems prove to be Covid related I may have to live with it.......its a real nasty virus isn't it.

Bonjour !
Grey and dull so far but may brighten up later in the day so possibility of a ride later if that is the case.
Mrs G came up with something that worries me a bit yesterday. She suggested that we sell one of the cars as she reckons we don't need two cars anymore. The trouble is that it is MY car that she wants me to sell.
I happen to like that car and had it from the moment she was born and 5 years on, we still get on together very well. She never misses a beat and is always ready when I need her. On the other hand , her car was bought second hand and is only 6 months younger than mine. Also, my wife hates driving and would be quite happy just to use taxis to get into town when I use my car for going to school for example, which will be only two days a week anyway. I try to avoid the subject as much as I can but she is beginning to apply gentle pressure. I have no intention of letting Libellule go ( that's the name of my car) . Watch this space.

So. When are you going to sell her then (the car not your wife).
