Day 70 Too Hot!

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. After a week of entries the scrolling will stop and if you want to venture further click on 'OLDER POSTS' and read until you get to the first entry 'The Day Before Day 1

Went to finish off the scrubs today and I was unable to find two back neck facings. I ransacked the house but they are nowhere to be seen. Finally, I had to admit defeat and emailed Julia, the organiser. She said it was perfectly possible that the error occurred at her end. She is cutting me two more. I am taking the finished ones to her tomorrow, picking up another batch and perhaps some trousers too plus two more facings. 

Very hot and exhausting day. The hottest day so far.

More than 1 million people have signed a petition calling for Dominic Cummings to be sacked over allegedly breaching the lockdown rules.

Despite Downing Street’s attempts to shift focus away from the row, hundreds of thousands of people added their names to the petition demanding that the prime minister fire his chief aide.

Boris Johnson is standing by his top adviser amid controversy of Mr Cummings’ decision to drive 260 miles to his parents’ house in Durham at the height of lockdown.

While there, Mr Cummings also made a 25-mile trip to Barnard Castle, which he sought to justify by claiming he wanted to test his eyesight ahead of the much longer drive back to London so he could resume his work at No 10.

On Thursday, Durham Constabulary said Mr Cummings may have broken the rules with the Easter Sunday visit to Barnard Castle, but concluded that no action would be taken against him.
