Getting Through the Days: Day 80 Wild Life Drawing

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

The garage roof is done!. The garage is now waterproof, hopefully. I night of heavy rain will be the test - is that too much to ask as we need it down on the allotments.
I am happy to tell you that Mr Williams and his two sons carefully draped the Montana over the ladders and when their roof job was finished carefully replaced it. No need for Plan B!

I had to rise early and move the car. The men arrived before eight so after I had finished my breakfast I got on with the scrubs. I overlocked all the edges, pressed the pockets and pinned in place. Three hours work and my hips are complaining with the sitting at the machines.

Cleaned the kitchen. Did some laundry. Walked Jasper.

Looking forward to watching A House Through Time with David Olusoga - there is nothing else on TV these days except repeats and I have run out of these. I could read a book.

Plans for all England's primary children to return for a month before the summer break have been dropped by Education Secretary Gavin Williamson.

Confirming the move, he told MPs he wanted all children back to school in September and that "exams will take place next year".

Labour's Rebecca Long-Bailey expressed "deep dismay" at how the plans for bringing back pupils had been handled.

Head teachers' leaders said the plan had never been a practical possibility.

The education secretary told the House of Commons that there was a "cautious, phased return" to school - but that would no longer mean all primary year groups going back before the end of term.

Mr Williamson said that if schools had the capacity they could take more pupils if they chose.

A-levels and GCSEs were cancelled this year by the pandemic - but he indicated that exams would go ahead in 2021.

The Shadow Education Secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey said the plan for bringing back all primary pupils had never been possible with social distancing - and she accused Mr Williamson of failing to listen to the advice of the teaching profession.
