At today’s Covid-19 Press Conference someone called Pooja
from Solihull, which is the best name ever, asked our great leader why the
rules are so vague and why he is do vague?
His answer... ‘Ah, Umm, Ah, Um...’
Personally, I think we are in big trouble and I think the
Government knows it because suddenly they have stopped showing the daily graph
which compares the deaths in each country. The fact that we are now riding so
high on it may be the reason and not that it’s ‘not possible to make
like-for-like comparisons’. The same like-for-like comparisons they have been making
every day up until now.
Next April’s Brighton Marathon opens for entries but with no
explanation about whether those of us who are down to run this year’s rearranged
race in September will automatically get a place when September’s race is
inevitably cancelled.
I am still in light training, just in case. On Monday I go
out running with the Lad while L takes MD for an amble on the park, which greatly
disrupts our run when our paths cross on the park. So when we do the same thing
again a few days later and our paths cross again, I hook MD up to my waist belt
alongside the Lad and run them both home for the last kilometre. MD seems to
enjoy it and the Lad seems to tolerate the intrusion.
On Friday run, the Lad and I have to run on the road to
bypass the dozens of people who are queuing down the street for our local
chippy when it opens at 5pm. They are all social distancing so the queue is mega long but...
really?
This begs several questions. Are chips really so essential,
although I suppose they are at least supporting a local business but then why
queue, why not come back later...
As the roads are now a lot busier than they were, I have to
wait for a gap in the traffic before running in the road to social distance it.
With it being Friday, our curry is essential obviously. It’s
Anoki’s turn this week but they take close on two hours to deliver. So that may be their
last order but I assume this means that they now have enough trade to survive
without ours.
