Blue skies, nothing but blue skies...

 I have not read any reports of hosepipe bans but we have had a dry time recently.

Bit cold for sitting out some days and a bit windy but when it has been good, it has been great to sit out and watch Spring emerging, lots of bluebells everywhere.

I know some people like the changing weather but I would be happy that the plants get watered from the ground and we didn't have clouds and rain. And in particular whilst a gentle breeze may be welcome on hot days, I hate strong winds.

Opening up

Is anyone else going out and about?

I had to go to Southmead hospital for an appointment and we decided to go in to Bristol and look around the shops beforehand.

It was busy and a huge queue went around Primark, which seemed bonkers. Though it is school holidays so I guess it was youngsters shoppoing with their friends. What a strange time to be a teenager.

It was depressing to see quite a few shops now permanently closed though and some of those that were open didn't have full shelves presumably because they are unsure when they will close again.

All fools day.

 Has anyone heard that the Covid virus has been a year log April fools joke? I wish it was.

Whatever will future generations make of this time of ours? Covid/BLM activists/Extinction Rebellion nutters etc. will surely be something that is part of the school curriculum in years to come.
