Common sense demands that you don't travel but ...
Did that not go out with the development of Faecesbook?
I suspect that the deprecation of "common sense" predates social media by quite some way ... social media just makes it more obvious ...  |

The England Roses netball team are relishing New Zealand’s freedoms after completing their time in managed isolation.
“Yeah, it felt a bit weird actually to be honest with you, no masks, you can walk in and out of coffee shops as you
please ... wow, what a privilege,” England co-captain Serena Guthrie said.
The extended period out of action means the players are enjoying the parts of training that they once would have dreaded.
“When we first got back into training, even the shuttles up and down the court, we were just loving life doing them",
midcourter Jade Clarke said.

I have discovered today that there is a fiendish attempt to thwart outdoor-in-back-garden Halloween parties! I blame Boris and brexit.
I cannot buy a bottle of Patio Gas anywhere - normally sold at Morrisons petrol stations, all of them in this area have no stock, no idea of when the filled bottles will be in; and have had no bottles delivered for a month. Is this a nasty way of stopping people having BBQs in the back garden and using patio heaters to warm the cockles etc ?
Thankfully, I live within 50m of a street light so will be erecting temporary wiring to power some outside heaters for Saturday. If it goes undetected, I will leave the arrangement until after lockdown becomes lockup.

To beat lockdown, I have ordered some of that fine weave spiders web to disgiuse the fact that we will have a party in our back garden......I of course will still obey the distancing rule and stay close to the whisky cupboard (moved to undercover in the back garden where one can meet) and have re-located the gaffers garden chair to 2m away from the wine cupboard, which will be within 1m of my grasp (the wine, not the boss). The fine spiders web fabric will disguise my 'movements' whenever a need to use a convenient convenience...wch btw I have now added one to my boys shed! Excellent - a Sanifle Compact fitted within 3 hours and set up to kill off the weeds from my neighbours garden....lockdown creates innovation Yah!!

Carefull i understand that some street lighting circuits are higher voltage that 230v, but maybe that was in the past, i remember years ago some contractor made an error and swapped domestic and street lighting circuits on a street and they had to pay for loads of equipment damaged in people's houses. Ignoring the slightly illegal bit about steeling electricity. |

Going into the technicalities, in this old house of ours, as an end terrace....the next door neighbours electric supply cable comes into ours and then up and across our loft into her house. By diverting her feed unmetered to my circuits, I replace her feed onto the street lighting. As the poor soul has dementia, she'll never remember what worked before. |

Based on the figures I've seen and with all the lockdowns going on, how the hell has London escaped this...oh, wait, I know, it would cost the economy too much, which I totally understand, but the government can't just cherry pick which areas to lockdown.

I really wouldn't want to be PM right now. With all the conflicting "expert" advice he's getting, no matter what he does, it'll probably turn out to be wrong by the time the next raft of "experts" rocks up.😬 |

So, London escapes for now. Quite why the levels of infection are so markedly different I have no idea but as of today they are. In Powys, we are at 60.4 cases per 100,000 and in the Welsh equivalent of a tier 3 lockdown - which doesn't make any sense at all if the country is taking a regional approach to controlling the virus but that's devolution politics for you. But it doesn't really matter too much - in less than two weeks the 'social' and 'media' pressures will drive the UK to follow France and Germany into a full national lockdown - well England anyway! (And that's probably not a bad thing ...) |

Tbh the only difference for me right now compared with full lock-down is a) I go to work b) I go to the gym (1hr max/day) & pool (40 mins max/day). Everything else is exactly the same.
