It certainly is an unpredictable world. My future son in law gave up a secure well paid job to go self employed just before virus kicked off. It was a skilled job which he did an apprenticeship for,they fittings for shops,boats all sorts. I imagine now even if had been furloughed would have been...

I can only hope that Union have some useful advice soon. Of course the problem is as is quoted as nauseam we are living in unprecedented times. We are trying to resolve problems arising from Coronavirus with legislation and procedures precovid(apart from some new laws). If you do go back for...

The need for efficient testing, tracking and tracing and financial support if needed for those isolating seems to be the general consensus. Also the belief that if properly funded this is more effective on a local basis. The risk in general is probably pretty low in most areas,especially if are...

Me too[emoji852]

I have just listened to today's Independent Sage broadcast which can be found on twitter or YouTube. Today it is about the reopening of schools. Its reassuring in that it acknowledges the concerns we have all expressed. It also goes into detail about how it can be done safely and how you can...

Good luck[emoji106]

I remember a while ago that Chris Whitty said to open schools safely we would have to cautiously balance what else we opened. Last night it was in the news that nail bars, beauticians, indoor entertainment venues,some sports arenas, casinos,larger weddings etc. can open. Some of this is...

Hopefully it will all fall into place before term starts. Councils are often supportive and will do their best. I liked my job and the residents I work with,and the majority of people I work with. I know my employer views staff as a commodity though! At least if you are entitled to work sick pay...

Oh dear, I must admit I hadn't read that bit of Gov.UK but for me it reinforces the thought that anyone who may raise issues of risk or safety of those involved is a "barrier" to the greater good. I don't know about anyone else but I'm definitely starting to feel "gas lighted" . On the one hand...

Old habits die hard! I [emoji1787]. Gavin Williamson was on TV this morning talking about A Level results. Not surprisingly he didnt come across well! For me it just feels increasingly chaotic with so many groups with concerns popping up. I think there are so many areas of concern from testing...

Have signed and shared[emoji4]

I think that is the most frustrating thing,it would make perfect sense to join together students and pupils virtually if vulnerable. The government are either to stupid,don't care,or are just sitting back and waiting for it to be done on a local level.! One thing did occur to me. I wonder if...

Our posts crossed over Max. No apologies needed. I have seen elsewhere that teachers have written wills etc. It does feel like we are on a run away train at the moment with everything going full steam ahead. Yes economy dreadful, schools need to open etc. I do however feel that the probably...

In some ways it feels more uncertain than ever. More tests,more cases. Less deaths but is that because those that are are more at risk of dying from Coronavirus are remaining super cautious? I do wonder how those that were shielding are finding things. As always time will tell. Interestingly I...

I have been asked to phone up surgery regarding diabetes review. My chiropody appointment has been postponed, but not sure whether due to general situation or chiropodist. Other than that they have been very helpful when called,phone consultations with GP etc. They are very good at keeping us...

Ah for a time machine! Many years ago my daughters watched a programme about a watch that could freeze time and I remembered thinking how useful that could be! I do remember a case of some very clever criminals who took just a small amount out of millions out of umpteen accounts ,maybe 50p. They...

I do,and I must admit how they imagined we would live now is quite entertaining. I also remember(just[emoji1787]) when Space 1999 seemed very distant! I'm sure there are many things that exist now that we could never have imagined 40 years ago. All that having to get up and change channels,all...

Fascinating read,I do wonder how the world will look in a decade.

Sounds like a plan. Up until a week ago the rules seemed quite specific on car sharing. Then they changed and it all seemed less specific. I havent looked this week so they may have updated again. I suppose as with most things it depends on who sharing with etc etc. Hope it works out[emoji4]
