Seventy five £1.00 bags of firewood would yield a profit!

From afar all she looks good for is a complete and total rebuild.

Meanwhile the less than astute members of society have yet to grasp the gravity of the problem: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-55588086?at_custom3=LR+BBC+Radio+Norfolk&at_custom4=704EF5DC-51D5-11EB-AD23-BD914D484DA4&at_custom1=link&at_campaign=64&at_custom2=facebook_page&at_medium=custom7&fbclid=IwAR1Nq2kZAP9Jj-mZVf-yHMyrju673wo75Wpbc1AceJ4cvYFBzpX2sC3Qae4

So long as I could choose which boat and owner combination to protect!! Wooden sailing boat owners would of course take priority, followed closely by those of classic Broads wooden motor cruisers. Perhaps, after a month or two, I would include the general riff-raff. Of course I jest, in reality I would . . . . . . . .

There was a local TV news report last night to the effect that the local police are actively advising motorists to stay at home. Why should anyone object to that? All power to Plod on this one, they really shouldn't need to be out there wasting their time 'advising' people to stay at home.

An NHS friend had just left off work and driving home when she was pulled over by Plod. She had her NHS pass but she doesn't wear a uniform. Plod got a bit heavy, last thing she wanted after a stressful day, questioning her as to whether she had actually been at work. Hope that he doesn't get Covid, he might be in danger of a high pressure, rectal blast!

They certainly did. Apparently it was generally a bit hairy at Aldeby for some reason and so skaters had to watch where they were going at that point. As kids we rode our bikes as far as Burgh St Peter but we never ventured further than that.

There were several either brave or foolhardy individuals who drove their cars on Oulton Broad in the '63 big freeze. Back in time that was a brand new car! Note the toboggan behind the car, being towed at some speed was great fun!

Just a thought, I used T-Cut on a really rough old lamp, that brought it back to life a treat! Might not be a recommended technique but that was what I had to hand and the lamp was not exactly precious.

Leave it in a bucket of 'Coke' for a few days.

Because 'experts' say they are! Apart from that I rarely catch one now, not like the good old days when I caught more eels than anything else.

Are you sure?

Arguably it is a good walk ruined! That aside golfing was previously allowed, perhaps there will be another rethink.

The Authority is provably adept at re-wording Government announcements.

Whoopee! https://www.facebook.com/AnglingTrust/photos/a.129197857149397/3530928550309627/

The distance factor is surely relevant. Fishing locally for example. I note that sailing is allowed.

An additional thought, we are, at best, many months away from a return to a degree of normality. Stress will be a growing problem, angling could well be a solution rather than being a problem.

I'm lucky, I have space and a big garden compared with many, as I sit writing this I am sat in a 12' X 28' room with a glass wall overlooking that garden and onto the Broads, I have a degree of freedom and plenty to do. There is just my wife and I, we like our company, are reasonably content with our lives. We have miles of walks across nature reserves and along river banks. We do miss the grand-kids but we do bump into them on our walks or we see and chat with them on-line. We are actually quite enjoying Lockdown although it has meant a change of lifestyle. In a nutshell I don't feel a need for much although the wine stash is down to less than a dozen bottles after Christmas! However, I am well aware that I could be trapped in a claustrophobic, one bed flat and going stark staring bonkers! Being able to access the river bank, even if I caught nothing, could well be my route to sanity. Mental health is an important factor.

Sunset this evening. First time in many weeks since I last watched the sun go down to the horizon.

The mind boggles at the thought!

Very sensible! Perhaps this is the answer, motor boats with sails on them?

The Phizer vaccine needs constant supervision of a suitably qualified pharmacist, hence my daughter's involvement. Whether that applies equally to the Oxford vaccine I don't know. As for the JPH at Gt Yarmouth, yes, a bit like a war zone. With numerous plastic buildings/tents popping up on the carparks it does look a bit like a military field hospital.

Clearly neither we nor HMG have time to follow the more usual niceties of Parliamentary procedure. Borris is not empire building, very clearly he is trying to save lives.

It probably can but we are also told not to leave our homes. Granted that home deliveries are available but nevertheless having a stash of necessities is reassuring. So yes, I am guilty of hoarding, we have roughly a thirty day back-up of bog rolls and the freezer is full! I'm afraid that home deliveries cannot be guaranteed whilst we depend on the health of the staff involved. Worrying about nothing? Maybe not, we are not out of the woods yet.
