Early Start!

Up and at em this morning bright and early, well early anyway! The podiatry man was due at about half past nine so we were ready for him, 
Sweltering today as it has been all week, everywhere must be very dry now. After all of the rain we had this winter it must be very odd for the farmers dealing with crops etc., Pictures in the papers of crowds on beaches, and very little sign of social distancing either. Wonder if the virus will crop up again given that.  There was one photo of massive crowds outside the U.S. Embassy in london, protesting against the killing by the police of a black man in Minneappolis. Quite why they are demonstrating here I have no idea but the ccertainly were not social distancing.
Some easing of the lockdown today, schools reopening for reception and year one, and markets opening too. Also car showrooms and open air dealerships, with further measures to come.  It does seem that an awful lot of people are treating thelockdown as a big bank holiday though and not taking much notice of the rules, except maybe for older people who have more sense!
Jane had a long day yesterday, she was on an eight to eight day to start with, so we waited at about eight for her to ring. Then waited and waited no sign so we had our tea, and eventually she rang about a quarter to eleven n her way home. Apparently as she was due to leave the trauma bleep went off and she stopped to help the bloke on duty then five trauma bleeps went off so she was stuck. A massive fight in the middle of manchester, a bit of sunshine brings them all out!
Unfortunately some sports beginning today too, Snooker< horse racing, and football later. Been lovely without all of those this Summer so far!
Jessie is mooching around. She was in the front room on the floor, but scooted ff upstairs when the podiatry man came! She doesn't like strangers, or some members of this house for that matter, or other cats like Jack for example.  She knows what she likes does our Jessie, and it begins with D and ends with Y.
Oh and her food!
