Day 89 Who's in Charge?

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

Rained all day. No dog walk as Jasper doesn't like getting wet. Laundry, cleaning and tidying instead.

Went to Llantwit to pick up the next batch of scrubs and did some shopping. There is a lovely shop opposite the Co-op that sells cacti and succulents - Cosy Fox. It's closed now but you can 'click and collect' so when I got home I perused their website and made some purchases for my conservatory. I can pick them up next time I go to Llantwit.

Started the scrubs - did all the overlocking before dinner.

Lloyds birthday so phoned him and had a chat.

Oh, and I forgot to mention when Maureen and I left Sheila at the allotment site on Tuesday she saw a snake slither by!

Snippet from the News

The NHS has been forced to abandon a centralised coronavirus contact tracing app after spending three months and millions of pounds on technology that experts had repeatedly warned would not work.

In an embarrassing U-turn, Matt Hancock said the NHS would switch to an alternative designed by the US tech companies Apple and Google, which is months away from being ready.

At the Downing Street briefing, the health secretary said the government would not “put a date” on when the new app may be launched, although officials conceded it was likely to be in the autumn or winter.

The idea behind the NHS app was that it could track anybody that a person with coronavirus symptoms came into close contact with by using the Bluetooth connectivity on a standard smartphone, and ask them to self-isolate.

Ministers had insisted on using a centralised version of the untested technology in which anonymised data from people who reported feeling ill was held in an NHS database to enable better tracking and data analysis. This version was not supported by Apple and Google.

View from Graig Fach out across the garden which extends down to the River Morlais. A lovely spot especially when the sun is out. Jims ashes are interred below an oak tree in the middle right of the picture. The tree was donated by his friends in Cowbridge Amateur Dramatic Society.

The construction on the left is, of course, a tree house, not yet finished.
