Sunny but very windy day today, had to stand some plants up and put one of my garden fans in the shed because it broke off.  There wasn't a lot of people at the happy cafe this morning, I guess the rule of six may of put some people off.  I tried the new QR code at the Arts centre but it wasn't recognised, also they are insisting that you have to pay £1 in coins for a mask which is wrong as the government clearly states we have to pay by card only.

Weatherspons are only serving people by the app only, so if you have an older phone that doesn't like you to down load the weatherspoon app; then you can't go in there.  I can see this affecting a lot of the older geneation, especially those with the Dorro phones like my parents have; I have already seen two people walk out in a huff.  the string on my disposable mask snapped which isn't good!

I might see if I can take some photo's of the friary for the museum, I'll do it during the week when it's quiet.  Only thing there's idiots who when I'm minding my own business, they won't mind theirs.     

Looks like Leeds is going to face further restrictions as infections are spreading, the smae for Blackpool, Stockport and Wigan; It looks like Cardiff and Swansea are going to follow suite.  Some Covidiots are being very selfish up north and not social distancing, they just won't take it seriously.

I saw a photo of the old paddling pool at the meadows in the Butts, it did bring back some memories of hotter days.  It's gone now, grassed over years ago.  But I do remember that I had to be careful as the floor was slimy and slippery, I since found out that leeches used to get in there from the river nearbye which is horrid.  Apparently people during the war in the summer subathed on the grass by the paddling pool, would hear the siren going off.  People used to collect tadpoles from the river and lots of familie's sat on the grass, it's all quiet now the pool has gone; gone into the past.
