Day 103 Holiday in Greece - anyone?

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
Attacked the bedrooms and the bathroom today - long overdue and I've not finished with them. There is a lot of ironing to do as well. I think I would rather play Scrabble or rather the new game Lexulous, so I did.
Walked Jasper with Maureen. We noticed a discarded wheelchair along the path by the allotments. I posted a note about it on Cowbridge FB Hub and then found that Sue McDonagh had beaten me to it with a photo.
Weather quite pleasant. Long conversation with Joni. She thinks Jasper should go on a diet. She gave me a hard time. She is right of course but He is not going to like it.
Watched a bit of TV.

Leicester’s outbreak of Covid-19 was identified because of the NHS test-and-trace programme, not in spite of it, according to Dido Harding who leads the programme.

“It is precisely because of NHS test and trace that we’ve been able to identify this outbreak early and take the right action,” said Harding. “We have been working really closely with the local health protection teams and the local authority over the last few weeks.”

They had deployed additional mobile testing units to Leicester, “which if you hadn’t got NHS test and trace up and running, no one would have known was necessary”.

She refuted suggestions that Leicester city council called on Public Health England for help because they didn’t have enough data from the community testing carried out by commercial companies which is part of NHS test and trace.

“If you look at the timeline, through the last three weeks, what we’ve seen is the local council and the test-and-trace teams on the ground, identifying that there was an issue, that the prevalence of the disease in Leicester was significantly higher than other parts of the country,” she said.

This picture shows part of the mill workings at Moulin du Clout.. The mill, which was no longer functional although all the machinery was still in place, used to grind walnuts to make walnut oil. Our friend, Cyprien, up in the village of Fournoules used to work in the mill as a young boy and he showed us where he used to sit.
