Things I Learned Yesterday

1. Hayseldens have moved their cars back out of the rear storage area and on to the forecourt.
2. The resident heron at Cannon Hall country park has a secret fishing spot (I got to within 10 feet of it before it twigged).
3. My next door neighbour is chuffed to bits to be on 80% furlough. He'd like at least another month.
4. Boots the chemist is exactly that on Sunday. Pharmacy only.
5. From 1st June, god willing, it may be safe enough for my wife to closely supervise 120 primary school children at lunchtime, but it won't be safe enough for her to cuddle her own grandson.

 

I learnt that NHS staff that use public transport, shouldn't use public transport as it will be full of people venturing to the coast social distancing.

 

That one's really got to you, hasn't it. It looks like you're pasting it into every possible thread.
For what it's worth, I reckon you'd have to be crackers to head to the coast anytime soon.

 

It was last weekend that got to me Old Goat. I saw the VE day celebrations at first hand and realise what the public can do if you give them an inch.

 

tell your wife good luck with point 5, my wife had to pack in doing school dinners job, it is so hard I admire anyone who can do it

 

My wife has done it for going on 20 years, so she's an old hand. I have noticed though that she's complained more and more about the job with each passing year. The kids were a lot nicer, she says, when she first took the job on.

 

1. They started last wednesday morning
2. Theres two herons at Cawthorne park.
3. Your neighbour might be on a 0% furlough soon.
4. Boots is over priced. Superdrug wilkos savers etc are all cheaper.
5. Enrole the grandkid at the school where the missus works
6. Theres a pair of nesting kestrels down the old canal

 

It's society in general. The kids aren't fetched up the same way they used to be. I'm 34 and think I might be in the minority that still got a clout off their parents.

 

1. You're right, but I didn't find out until yesterday on account of me driving around with my eyes shut.
2. I thought there must be a pair, but I never see them out together.
3. He's a pillock, so I won't be losing any sleep if it happens.
4. I only wanted a hot water bottle.
5. He's only 8 months old.
6. I shall keep an eye out if I'm down that way. Thanks.

 

Or back to work/school/the park

 

Seems a bit odd that I can drive to the park and meet my daughter, surrounded by everyone else, but I can't walk half a mile and go in through her back gate and sit with her in relative safety.

 

Parks will be heaving again, especially in London.

 

Yeah same gardens full of people who the night before were clapping for the nhs couldnt make it up.

 

I think there will be a spike in covid deaths in about two weeks due to VE day vvankathon.

 

did people go to Parks a lot before lockdown?

 

I think it's a case of when you stop someone doing something they want it all the more. It won't be long before groups of 4 playing football become groups of eight two families taking each other on. Such is the mindset being encountered.

 

This about sums it up

 

Seeing as they are probably now the kids of those she looked after when she started, its probably her fault for being too lenient on the parents when they misbehaved

 

I want to go watch some horse racing when it comes back, can I not stand in a field watching some horses run bye,suppose we have to be patient and hope things get put in place
