There is. Here's a little story for you all. I know we don't do politics etc. but think this is interesting. Remember my lad was going to a particular pub for the Euro final? Long story but they ended up going elsewhere. The original pub had all its tables full by 10.30am!!! 😳

My son knows ten people who went to this pub. All now have Covid. He says amongst his, wide, social circle many have Covid or are isolating. All of them went to a football event. I dread to think what will happen when 80,000 get inside Old Trafford.

My boy cancelled his planned birthday celebration on Thursday night as he didn't want to be responsible for people having to isolate etc.

Fair play to him for doing that. He'll have another chance next year.

Just one thing I can't work out...
What's the connection with bad weather?

Typical, Geraint Thomas down yet again!

Does he have a beard?

Morning all

Had some rain and wind overnight but it seems to have passed for the time being. No thunder and lightning that was forecast.
It's just dull and grey out there on Dartmoor this morning - typical Dartmoor weather.
Might head down to Teignmouth, or thereabouts, this morning.

You said "There's worse to come"

It was my little joke about Covid......

Nothing to do with waking up earlier than usual then.

As I said, I was up at 0500.

Slept solid till 10.00.
Still feel knackered

Looks like it's going to rain here can't say I am sorry.

Mr WD is looking at Tv's. I am zoning out ignoring him now as my brain hurts from all "It's got this and that " And I have no idea what any of it means.

You could always ask what he means.

Maybe there was something in the water. Other than you and the ducks!

Hope you feel better soon.

I looked at TV's a little while back. Most of them seem to be like little computers. Our Toshiba is about ten years old and still going strong.
