Day 51 Confusion

Notes for new readers - as this is a diary the first entry is the last, so you get to know 'who done it' before the crime is committed! This is a pain but can't be helped.

These poppies grew in a field at the top of the valley where we had our house in France. We called the area 'the sunlit uplands'.
Housework, watering the garden, as no rain forecast for this week although a cold wind, lots of laundry and walking Jasper down to the allotment. More watering there but no more plants have been taken although an allotment neighbour said she had lost some runner beans. What is going on? I have bought some begonias to plant.
I have finished the blanket but I have to wash it before I send it off. Picture when I have done that and pressed it to shape.
Most of the news and comment on social media is to do with Boris mixed messages. Confusion reigns although we, in Wales, have been told to stick with the previous advice and stay home. Happy with that!

Piers Morgan attacked a Conservative MP for giving confused advice over the new lockdown rules on live television, the day after Boris Johnson gave an address laying out the government’s plans.

The Good Morning Britain host asked Andrew Bridgen, the Tory MP for North West Leicestershire, whether he can now visit his two sons who do not live in his household.

Mr Bridgen replied by saying he could visit them as long as he abided by social distancing.

The ITV presenter said Mr Bridgen’s response was “completely against the new rules”.

In a withering rebuke, he told the Conservative MP: ”What you have just said is completely against the new rules as stated. There you are, as a Conservative member of parliament, who thinks you know exactly what Boris Johnson has been saying and yet you just told me to do something that I am not allowed to do.”

This is my now unused bird table. I have removed all the feeders and stopped putting food out for the birds. The garden is silent. It took me two years to attract them into my little sheltered spot and I loved to watch them fluttering from the branches of the Acer and Ceanothus onto the feeders. I am trying to devise a method of feeding them without attracting vermin. I would welcome any ideas.
