    He'll be disappointed with the new style pylons, look like concrete 'T' shapes. Wonder how they'll cope in a storm, a la wind turbine style!

    To be fair to our NDN's, they live in a very expensive house and the front is nearly all glass, tinted I think. They've since realized it's a bit like living in a fish tank so the big gates will give them  privacy to sit in the front garden (the back's mostly in shade).

    Not sure quite why they want three levels of protection between us though. My days of nude sun-bathing are long gone!

    Maybe theirs aren’t! You might yet be grateful for the screening!

    Nude sunbathing is a dangerous pastime.  On holiday in the South of France, many decades ago one guy we had met only plucked up courage to go Full Monty on his final day.  He finished up with a sunburnt posterior and, a very uncomfortable 24 hour coach trip home.  Thankfully we weren't on that coach.

    We've got a family trip planned to England this week. I'm a bit worried though as the smacking children ban comes into effect tomorrow in Wales and there might be stop checks on the Severn Bridge to make sure people aren't indulging in domestic abuse tourism. They might want to check the condition of the kids before and after our trip like they do at the hire car places. :#
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I can visualise the queue on the bridges over the Severn estuary.

    Bl**dy BBC,  blurting out the F1 result on the main news headlines without warning again.  They would never do this for anything else,  they seem to have forgotten that they gave up their contract to air the races voluntarily.

    Morning all. 
    Just back from The Home. 
    They have a sign saying the Home is in Covid Lockdown and not to enter until invited by a staff member. 
    Their kitchen delivery arrived and the driver just marched on in, when challenged he casually said " I don't care about covid "

    Discussing!  My son still puts everything on the doorsteps, rings the bell/knocker, and steps right back. Then uses gel on his hands because he’s had to touch the door. 
    This could have been over a while back if there wasn’t so many idiots around with the ‘I’m alright Jack’ attitude.

    So no mystery where the outbreak began or why so many people are being deprived of the essential company of their loved ones then  :(
