Lightening took out our Internet connection for some hours and I was unable to see it or say goodnight to everyone.

Re: Wednesday 17th June 2020
In the Commons Matt Hancock, the health secretary, said it was not true that student nurses were being made redundant.
But students are finding that their paid placements are ending early.Thousands of student nurses recruited to work on the front line against Covid-19 have been told their placements will be cut short, plunging some of them into financial despair.
“Some of us left jobs for this. Many of us have children and families to care for.”

The student nurse thing is rubbish isn't it, small change for the govt to pay them for 6 months as they were told. Summer school meals all over again.
I've just read through Sparrow's PMQs coverage, the 'as it happened' part suggested Johnson was as rubbish as ever, but AS verdict was that BJ's schools line was effective.

Dear me.That was Boris Johnson’s best performance at PMQs against Sir Keir Starmer so far. ......
today Johnson sounded like someone who had found a chink in Starmer’s armour, and he exploited it reasonably successfully.

Re: Wednesday 17th June 2020
Am knackered. I spent the last 3 months working about 14 hours a day (sometimes from 2 am sometimes to 2 am depending). The thing I was working on went pretty well, but I’m now reporting on it, and my brain really doesn’t care.
Off the desk by the end of the week and then my brain can come out of hiding.

I’d been risking distant thunder earlier … when just after the LD question there was an ear-splitter right overhead . Butter dish and smartphone went flying as I disconnected all cables going into the computer . Butter right side up, fer a change .
Veg and calf market in town today, with no distancing in the crowd, but everyone going into the mairie put on a mask.

AK --- and you were joking ? With this shower of shit any rational solutions/actions go out of the window. Half-asleep I heard on the radio that "personal communications, local contacting " was the New Thing , and texts etc was too impersonal/frightening . So YES, it's not impossible that the World-beating App disappears from the public domain , and consciousness !AnatolyKasparov wrote:So it now appears our WORLD BEATING virus tracking system isn't going to be ready until the winter.......

What do you need to get Trade?
A fucking great big luxury yacht!
