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 … ?’

And music from Alice Cooper, One Direction, Moby and Megadeath. Just to be different.
Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.
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 …

We don't have green spaces home (we have a patio because her apartment is on the first floor, but it's an indoor one, so not much joy there). On the other hand, we have trees planted on the street in front of the house that we can see from the window, and they created an avenue for walking right next to us (my parents bought the flat in a very interesting location... It has a train/underground line that at that point is not underground, running very nearby (yes, we can see it from the window, or could, before), and a highway (well, at that point is not a highway, but it's one of the points of entry into the city coming from the airport, etc, so it's a big road) running under that as well. The highway was covered years back (it was like having a live-sized Scalextric), and the train/underground line has been boxed in more recently (yes, you've guessed it. Like having my own train set), and they've built a "rambla" (a wide walk with trees and plants), on top of the box, so we see people going up and down, walking the dogs... It's not boring, that's for sure!
Oh, regarding the haircut, here they are joking that famous people and influencers are not posting as many selfies now that they can't have their hair done!
