The Jam Jam

I have planted some bulbs, cooked some chick peas, not decided on dinner yet. What do the papers say today, what riveting news and humour is there on this Sunday (I had completely forgotten about clocks changing, but then it makes no difference to me).

• Rain is wet!

The person on the radio who said mine is a minority view and might be right. However it is more probable that he is wrong! And scientists in general are saying we need a circuit breaker to enable the NHS to cope. As a geographer I quite like the regional approach to the problem. Cornwall does not have anywhere near the level of infection in Liverpool.

North Somerset is on 98/100000 rising rapidly. Bristol on 247 and rising. I would have thought that merited moving up a tier? the rate in NS has caught up and over taken Chelmsford and Braintree (which have been moved into middle tier).

I went to Halden Forest near Exeter today and met Tom, Tams, Corinne and Ottie (birthday girl – 2 today). That was brilliant but when I first got there I was a little frightened by all the people, and none wearing masks! I know it was outside and lots of space but I had not been that close to so many people for 7 months! Nice place, but weather inclement!

Driving. I live in a beautiful part of the country – roads by their very nature spoil the beauty and tranquility – but are necessary. But why do we make it worse with street graffiti? Once you look at what I am saying I am sure you will agree (contains swearing!)
