No rain here, Perks! :D

I was loving the beading on the car though and driving in the rain is so soothing for me

At least while it's raining it saves me from myself.. I would probably clean the car again this afternoon otherwise haha.

By cleaning it so much I'm less likely to contract the virus.. honest.

I didn't get much at the beginning but that's close bloody close to the truth.

I'll be honest, I don't clap on a Thursday but mostly because I'm not trying to give my ego a boost like a lot of these people.

All this save the NHS stuff doesn't save the NHS, it just gives the image that Boris and his crew care.

Is it cynical of me to think its easier to focus on a single 100 year old man who served in the Army who helped raised some money (for something that should be funded by Govt!!!) by walking round his back garden whereas the majority of the UK elderly are either desperately lonely by being locked down in their own homes or in a care home where their health is in mortal danger?

My mum is desperately lonely and no one can go and see her and no one outside her immediate family is making sure she is OK. She is 84 but had no offers to send her food, no offers from supermarkets to get her shopping, no phonecall from her GP to check she is OK.

MiL is in an even worse position but were it not for the wife and me, she would have starved. In the UK. In 2020!

But then neither have ever done anything for this Country, have they???????????????????? :@

I have to turn the radio off when I hear that charity song. The NHS is not a charity. I don't need millionaires telling me to shell out my cash to prop up a service I've been paying for for over 30 years.

Major Tom is an amazing man and I wish him a very happy birthday. But it's a shame it takes an old solider to highlight the problems we have in this country.

Germany sees charity as a failure of society. I subscribe to that view.

There's a lot of people turning against the media because of the questions being put to the government. We have been let down. The lack of planning and leadership has cost us thousands of deaths. How can that be acceptable?

My council have done the same. They reiterated to keep hold of the letter even if you feel fine now because you may still need it
