71 days in isolation/lockdown.

An unauthorised Civil Service tweet has been withdrawn very quickly but not before it was screenshot and shown all around the world. It read, “Arrogant and offensive. Can you imagine working with these truth twisters”. The brave person posting this tweet has already become a Civil Service legend. So much so that J. K. Rowling no less, has offered to pay that person’s salary for a year if they are ever identified. Well done that person. If they are disciplined or sacked we should open a fundraising page to make up for any lost salary.

There have been no changes to the stand made by Dominic Cummings. What a surprise. However, a junior minister (Con) has resigned and he may not be the last. The whole thing is just a mess and something has to give. Heads must roll. Even a former Attourney General has said he should go. This rolling stone is gathering a shed load of moss!

James O’Brien, on twitter has given a powerfut response to the events of the last couple of days and in particular criticising the inconsistencies of Johnson’s and Cummings’. explanations. ..@mrjamesob 

 Boris’s approval rating has dropped to   -1% and the Tory party to -2%. I dont know how a minus ensues but clearly it is looking very bad for them. How about a General Election.

The number of deaths are encouragingly low again today. Let us see what happens during the rest of this week.

I have now reaquainted myself with that wonderful series and the characters of “Hill Street Blues” Just under 150 episodes to go. Wonderful!! It is very interesting for us to see them looking for street telephone boxes which all seem to have been vanalises. No change there. How did we all manage without mobile phones. Or as they call them in America, “Cell Phones”.

We walked to the garden centre again and got another £70 worth of plants, a big pot and compost. I’ve not kept track but from memory we must have spent over £200 on the garden so far. It’s looking good though and in a month or two should be a riot of colour.Thank you Jenny.
