100 days in isolation/lockdown. Who would have thought it would last this long.

Unless you were a fan, the weekend football on the tv was boring. A non-event. It was surreal with dubbed crowd effect noise. It was not too badly done but in the stadiums themselves, it was eerily silent. Hull City lost and are destined for League One. It’s been coming since they sold their best assets. Actually it was well before that. The fans refused to accept a name change to Hull Tigers, which I loved but a vocal minority hated it and they let it be known to the owners who, it has to be said, had brought great success to the club by investing 70 million pounds into it. They  were alienated by the fans and so  lost interest and put the club up for sale. Guess what? Nobody wants a club with such stupid fans and it has not yet been sold. “Where’s that tiger?”

David and the kids came today and brought me a nice bottle of Rioja for Father’s Day. We will have it tonight. Lovely to see them!

We’ve been taking the lounge carpet up today. Moving heavy furniture was a challenge. The floorboards look in great condition. All the carpet and underlay has fitted into the back of the car with the seats down so we will take a trip to the public waste cetre at Wel, Beverley, tomorrow.

The pandemic figures over the last couple of days have been very good in terms of reduced deaths. The  weekend figures (Sunday and Monday) are always low but at 28 deaths today is the lowest. Out “R” number is still below #1 but in Germany it has gone back to over #2. They were doing really well compared to us but have relaxed the rules earlier than we have and may now be reaping what they sowed. It certainly makes us doubt any holidays in western Europe at the moment. Ryanair have started to fly to Spain again so we will watch what happens there too.
