Tuesday 6th october

Raining cats and dogs this morning, althrough in history it had been shown to have rained frogs in the past.  I was crossing the car park behind fabric land and it suddenly lashed it down, sheltering under a cover I thought how many shops are closing in salisbury lately.  The jewellers by Cowardines is closing down, Pizza Hut is now empty of any furniture as is the French cafe Rouge in the High street.

These shops we will never see the like of again, I always found Cafe Rouge to be too expensive anyway; it was the last resturant the WI went into before the pandemic really took off.

What really angers me is the amount of plastic single use masks that people just dump on the floor, why can't they put them in the bin!?  This just doesn't effect humans, but animals too.  “Plastic masks float like jellyfish in water so turtles can mistake them for food and other wildlife like seabirds can become tangled in the plastic!  

Apparently More areas could face being put in lockdown after a government blunder revealed an alarming surge in new coronavirus infections. Their saying nearly 16,000 had been left out of daily figures - meaning rates in some towns and cities have skyrocketed!  My app is still saying medium for Salisbury.

We had a talk on Zoom last night about street photography, Tony's camera crashed and I probably didn't help by asking stupid questions on the chat function.  I might try the market on Saturday, I never did photo the man who sold towels and bedsheets as he's now retired; many more stalls have gone like the cockle man.
