Come in Viktoria we're talking about you - nice things only  :-X :-X

My lassie has a pal who was born on Islay. Her dad was from just outside Bowmore. We used to have some parties with him and his relatives when they came over. Islay Malts were flowing. Oh Happy Days.  :) :)

Have you read the article on Islay in today's National?

  In one of the roads in a village near here, they have organised sing-songs and weekly coffee mornings. They all sit or stand outside their own houses. I am not sure when or what they sing, but there is a picture of them this morning. Just checked and they started at 11.00 with "Thine be the glory" followed by 3 non religious songs. I am not convinced that many of them would have known the hymn!
    I do think it is a really nice idea though.

i have noticed that cars are speeding round the traffic island (with loud music) near my house now that fewer people are on the road, however children also seem to think they are safer now with less traffic and are using the excercise time to go round the roads on those little scooters. There have been some near msses!
A runner came down the road and crossed the corner without looking and a cyclist came the wrong way and thankfully missed him.  My grandaughter is a nurse, they have enough to do at the moment without these idots.
Rant over.

 My husband was out by 7.30 this morning, he’s an early riser  ::)  We live close to a single track road leading to the South Downs Way.  For the last 3 weekends it’s been like the M25.  He thought he was early enough it being Sunday. He came home saying he’d been passed by more joggers and cyclists than he’d usually see all year, all huffing and blowing.

We’ve just seen pictures of the London parks again, if any of those people become ill I couldn’t care less but I do care deeply for the nurses and doctors and perhaps their own family who will be looking after them 😡

If people haven't got the message by now, they're never going to get it!

I'm sure a lot of them never read a newspaper or listen to the news on tv - they will pick it up second hand and assume (like they always do) that it doesn't apply to them.

Its like the panic buying at the start of the outbreak (thankfully, died down a bit now though you still have to be extremely vigilant to get a delivery slot). Those people were self-centred morons who assumed they could do as they liked whilst other people could go to to hell. There's no hope for people like that: no active brain cells! We just have to make an effort to step around them. What a pity there isn't a system to ensure that they go to the back of the queue if and when they catch the virus! I know I shouldn't even think that - but it does cross my mind every now and then.  :-[
