    I interrupt the COVID-19 pandemic to bring you my latest episode.......

    Last night I went to the supermarket to buy a bag of food for my Dog.
    Already in line, a woman behind me asked me if I had a dog?

    I stared at her (those who know me will know my sarcastic look) ...but then why would I be buying dog food...right?

    So on impulse I told her no, that I didn’t have a dog, that I was starting the dog food diet again, and that I probably shouldn't because I ended up in the hospital the last time, but i did weigh 4 kilos less!

    I told her that it was the perfect diet and that all you had to do is carry a few biscuits in your pocket and eat one or two every time you feel hungry (I have to mention that practically everyone in line was interested in my story).

    Frightened, the woman asks me if I ended up in the hospital because the Dog food had poisoned me.
    I answered...of course not!

    I was admitted because I bent down to sniff the bum of a handsome German Shepard and I was hit by a truck.

    I thought the man behind her was going to have a heart attack...he was laughing so hard!

    ...Let’s continue promoting reading!
    I have to confess...I copied this and posted this to make you all smile.

    When I see someone like Trump dropping brand names I cant help but have the feeling he has agreed to do so for share options or to make money in some way.

    Well written that.


    Who knows, it may even make one or two on here who were giving a certain member of our online community totally uncalled for grief a day or two back pause for thought.

    Since the government asked for retired nurses and doctors to temporarily return, 4,000 nurses and 500 doctors have so far done so.

    Why is it not a crime to stay open? and surely it is a specific public safety issue.

    At this point in time, there is no law against it. If they carry on, it will bring forward the tighter restrictions on movement.

    I knew that really, I noted that when Boris announced the closure of bars and clubs etc. it was rather wooly worded. We are telling them to close as of tonight and not open tomorrow. Why not say ordered to close and not reopen until further notice?

    As I understand it, he has no Authority to 'order' it yet. It'll happen soon though, along with other restrictions if people don't show self control.

    B&Q in Hull are operating a one in one out policy, there’s currently about 100 people queuing outside, they’re increasingly the chances of people getting infected. People really are dim.

    They are also probably in the at risk age brackets. Going onto the front line. Bless all our doctors and nurses.
