This is my google activity summary for the month. And it tells an interesting tale. Of someone who don’t go very far. I’ve visited one city. London. I fucking live there so not sure where the ‘visit’ comes in. And my ‘highlights’ are the beautiful Northway Gardens, where my tennis club lives, Toulouse Cafe, where – Read More-
So here was the deal. Coronavirus arrived, we retreated. To our homes. Locked down. Shops closed. Everything closed. Work from home. Unless you can’t. Then don’t work. Only at home. Or from work.

Not content with going to battle with those pesky Chinamen, our tough, hardened, powerful, almost super-heroic Foreign Secretary (even though he looks like the ‘last man picked for a football match’, or a reject from a school for failed accountants), has now started war on a new front.
