This weekend worries me.
Nice weather, 4 days off and probably plenty of booze, could be a disaster. Even if people aren't out and about, I suspect there'll be plenty of house parties.

Nah mate, it's a FUCKING DATSUN.Toyota
Yay! ZZ171.
I posted about him yesterday, having seen him doing manouevres at low altitude. Looked him up on the tracker and reckoned he was doing touch and go landings at Brize Norton and Luton. Loads of 'em.
Tracking today looks like he's doing the same at MAN.
One of several big RAF planes doing low altitude stuff yesterday, along with a Hercules and an A330 that doubles up as a VIP carrier / mid-air refueler.
Perhaps just practising landing at commercial airports while they can.
A second UK care home becomes a COVID-19 charnel house. 15 deaths over the last few days.This time in Luton.
Awful and worrying, 1 person catches it in a care home and it runs riot.
Those won't be in the official daily figures either.

Is it good PR for her and her employers? Yes. Undoubtedly.
Can she afford it? I would presume so. She's hardly on the minimum wage.
Is it decent of her? Of course. She didn't have to do it.

Is that any different to last weekend though, and in general that didn’t go too badly. Being a bank holiday isn’t going to make much difference to most of us. Weather not looking as good as last weekend here either.This weekend worries me.

Just went to walk to the shops and I chose a terrible time. If anything it felt busier than it would on a non lockdown day! People who finished work at 5 all obviously decided to head out. Not having a go at that time but fuck me it was stressful. Struggled to keep distance from people. Felt drastically busier than this time last week.
Not a celica thenNah mate, it's a FUCKING DATSUN.

BBC saying today that the hospital they built in Ivory Coast was trashed by locals as they didn’t want outsiders bringing the virus to their neighbourhood. Crazy.

These numbers out of Italy are strange, good news on the lower deaths but spike on new cases during the toughest lockdown - week 4 I think it is?
ROME (Reuters) - Deaths from the COVID-19 epidemic in Italy rose by 542 on Wednesday, a lower tally than the 604 the day before, but the number of new cases pushed higher to 3,836 compared with a previous 3,039.
The total death toll since the outbreak came to light on Feb. 21 rose to 17,669, the Civil Protection Agency said, the highest in the world.

I think there's a growing frustration though. Bank holiday makes a slight difference, I'm in work at the moment and there's people there not taking it seriously there and they're off this weekend so thats added traffic. Looks decent enough for the idiots to pack the parks.
I know it won't be awful but it might be bad enough that it doesn't drop as fast as we want it to.

Remember it being on the news about someone paying millions for a Picasso.Not a celica then
I looked at the Mrs and said "no way would I pay that for a Citroen"
Went right over her head.

It was and then I've noticed this week that some media are running with the England figure more, bit misleading.
It should always be the UK figure.

Rishi Sunak is a very impressive speaker.

Perhaps they’re doing more tests. That’s the thing I don’t get: at the 5pm press conference they said the amount of people infected is slowing down but then at the same time acknowledging not enough test are taking place... how do they measure the infection rate if the are not doing enough tests...Not sure the data can be trusted.

You have an Instagram account !!!! ffs I can only dream of such thingsI put myself lurching inevitably towards the FOC category but it's not as complicated as I thought it would be. I'm certainly not that tech savvy. Witness the fact that only today I deleted my entire Instagram account.

I was traveling around in Swaziland in the late 90s in Mbabane speaking to an NGO medical officer as they were there trying to help suppress the HIV epidemic. They were trying to use broomsticks as illustrations of how to put on a condom safely. He said many of them actually continued to have sex but put a condom on top of their broom stick in the same room thinking that’s what he meant (they are very superstitious and got the wrong end of the tutorial). Remember him saying that they were treated with great suspicion.
