Today’s neighbour thought is sparked by looking out at horrible inclement wet rainy weather with wind and cold all around us.

Thank you, BBC 2 !
Why am I thanking the Beeb? Easy – Education programmes in the early afternoon that are too good just for children learning on line. Coming from a grim mortarboarded teacher background at my grammar school over 50 years ago, how much more could I have learnt and absorbed, given more modern ways to visually show […]

I normally leave all scam alerts with Karl for his excellent and informative Friday slot, but the NEL Fraud Forum and Humberside Police have asked me to put this up asap , so here goes ! COVID 19 Vaccine Scam Text We have been informed about a new scam that is being circulated, but looks very […]
I was really hoping that my first post in 2021 would be full of positives, and hope for a return to some form of normal lifestyle during the opening months. Instead, we awake to a new lockdown regime, a rapidly spreading new virus variant, people not wanting to obey strictly laid down stay at home […]
We will all discover the Tier level tomorrow that N. E. Lincolnshire will find themselves embedded until the New year. We are all expected to remain in a safe and responsible manner towards ourselves, our relatives, our neighbours, friends, and others who live in our streets and roads. If the Tier level is raised to […]
According to Look North figures this evening, 147 / 100,000 is today’s national average for NE Lincolnshire, slowly coming down. We need to be below 128 to become lower than the national average. If the area drops below the national average, would you support a local drop of controls down to Tier 2? Would you […]
I have received and completed a personal survey today, in regards to changes in my perception for my personal safety, and also asking my thoughts about how the police could or should react in regards to lockdown breaches, so I wondered if anyone had either been canvassed in a similar way, or if anyone had […]
TIER 3, IT IS, FROM DECEMBER 2ND ONWARDS. Not a huge surprise, so let’s prepare ourselves not to spread the virus unknowingly, and more importantly, not deliberately, by breaking the rules. So, HANDS, FACE, SPACE ! 4 weeks to get the R number down.
So, how do you feel in regards to a possible 25 days full lockdown in January, and a tight conditions run up up after 2nd December, to pay for a lowering of family contact standards over Christmas? Personally, with 13 grandchildren that have not had a proper hug or contact since before March, my wife […]
Wash your hands. Cover your face. Make space. We must act now to control the spread of the virus. The single most important action we can all take in fighting coronavirus is to stay at home to protect the NHS and save lives. · From Thursday 5 November to Wednesday 2 December, national restrictions apply […]
So, week 2 of lockdown, and we have leapt up from 5th nationally to 4th, with daily figures of new cases seemingly rising on a daily basis. As I travel doing my main employment and other volunteer work, I see many instances of what should not be happening – large gatherings at school gates with […]
This is such a confusing time as we drop into the 2nd lockdown period until December 2nd as a minimum. Many people will also be very disappointed that Bonfire night celebrations as public events are now banned as well. However, from recent nightly events around my own area, sales of fireworks have not diminished, as […]
