The hazy bright morning sun promised Spring warmth, as I write the drizzle is busy trying to rear Daffoldills which cower under the bare branches of the trees. Tsk! At least the gas is not on, the heaters are off and I no longer need to wear my coat indoors.
As Spring deepens, it is claimed fewer people will be rushed into hospital with Covid, therefore Westminster will rush children back to school, pubs opened, shops, barbers and sundry businesses urged to return and by the end off July we shall see the hospitals full once again! Of course it may be true that the vaccinations are having an effect, but there again it may just be those 'unnamed' people pushing in the press and on social media for a return that are behind this 'confidence.'
Nothing however, will take the smug grin of Hancocks face, as long as he is making money he cares not about the rest. That is a sure sign of this bad government.
I believe we have an opposition but I have no idea where it is.
'Worcester II' by Charles William Wyllie (1853-1923). 'Worcester II' was a redundant R oyal Naval shipthat moved into the Thames in 1862 and took its place as a RN training ship. She remained there until 1945 when replaced and moved by the navy to moorings elsewhere. Unfortunately she was not used and slowly rotted away, capsizing and being slowly eaten by the tides. Such a shame for a ship, but there again it saves cash in dismantling her.
I have a penchant (whatever that is) for pictures of the sea. Charles William Wyllie and his more famous brother, William Lionel Wyllie, both painted such works. Charles sadly moved into more mythalogical fantasies, usually featuring bare breasted women, I know not why.
It may well be more such pictures fill the empty spaces of this blog until I get out and about a bit more. Not that we can go far anyway these days...
News is hard to come by these days. The papers will fill space with everything and anything. Here we see an item taken from the web, that appears to be where the press get their news these days, the item is all about a woman who saves money by searching the shops for reduced items.
Gosh! Who would have thought that by seeking out the 'yellow stickers' you could save money?
What surprised me is that she saves (she said) £50 a week on her total shop! £50? Maybe you were buying things you did not require, using expensive brands rather than 'shops own' and squandering money in a flagrant manner? Just saying like.
The disabled, the unemployed (some 850,000 it appears), the poorest using food banks, and pensioners have been doing this for years. But hey, anything to fill space in the media.

Hancock is a disgrace...but the party bringing the case asked the wrong question....need another case questioning whether the firms gaining the contracts had the necessary experience...etc. to be suppliers.However, given the cash the government throw at cases, the risk of losing means you need a long pocket to start any such case...
Justice, my backside.
When visiting mother and doing her shopping in person I would have a look at the yellow sticker stuff...if she saw it was reduced she would try something new 'as it wouldnlt be such a waste to throw it away'.
Not that she did.
I shall believe that the country gets its freedom when I see it...no doubt some other virulent strain will raise its head...
Fly, I'm with your mum when buying new stuff, but reduced!
I am quite happy to buy reduced items and indeed often rather thrilled to get them but something about the ENTIRE shopping bag of stuff being reduced is very dispiriting. Maybe the idea of having to eat all that stuff within the next couple of days.
Jenny, The risk with such food is that it will go off, but freezing meat is a good idea.
