Day 267
Two words today:
DRAGONFUTTER (German literally “dragon fodder”) an apology gift bought to appease a disgruntled spouse!
WHIFFLER (17th century) A chronically indecisive and evasive person who swings from one course of action to another!
The debate over school opening, is one of little merit and a nonsense. Under the current reasoning and tier system it is obvious they should remain closed, it should not even be a debate? If it protects all of us (and the teachers) then it is for the greater good. I understand the argument that children will yet again miss out on their education and that is undesirable but we are talking about our survival! The young are generally resilient, they will adjust. Of course I am no longer a parent of school age children and am woefully ignorant about todays education system other than to say from my observation many kids seem to be uneducated of much that is happening or has happened. I hope someone reading this will dispute that sentence? Either let this Covid have its head and run itself dry or shut us down completely, you can’t have it both ways!
I was sadden to see groups of drunken revellers on NYE standing outside a London hospital shouting “Covid is a hoax” at staff as they finished their shifts. Inside they were dealing with the overwhelming effect of the virus and people were dying, disgusting and so typical of what I fervently hope is a small minority in our country?
Now to change the subject, I don’t know if your a football fan (frankly I could care less) I only watch Match of the Day and I hate the false crowd noise they broadcast because the stadiums are empty. Up until a little while ago I confess I did not realise that in the grounds there is no crowd noise, it is a soundtrack out on by the broadcasters, I wish they wouldn’t!
Stay well
