18th April, 2020.

It’s officially official: I really need a haircut.

No, really.

If you think I look bad in the intro video?

You should have seen me when I got up!

Father Jack, here we come!

One quick minor point?

Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, has suggested masks be made compulsory for all Londoners: during the current outbreak.

I can’t say it’s a bad idea.

But, speaking as an unemployed person?

My first question would be ‘Who’s paying for those … ?’

Have a good day.

*        Yeah, I knew about the Trepass, Trevor.   I might have to do a set on it, one day.

†        Yeah, I did see the mention wiz past Olga: and thought of you!   :D   Yes, it’s strikes me this is not the best of situations.   I’m sort of grateful my grandma’s long since gone, her Alzheimer’s would make things difficult.   And happily, Jude’s kept occupied by his playstation.   What that’s going to do, long term, I don’t know, but for now … well.   I can only hope you and your mother have access to some sort of green space!   (All I’ve got is the bit out back with the gas meters.   It’s got interesting weeds.)

‡        Thought you might recognise that, Debbi!   He’d usually partner with Spike Milligan’s Eccles. Remind me to pass that song on to the Twitter Gang …
