More Ruminations

An enjoyable hour or two clearing out the boat and giving it all a good clean. And enjoyable times either side of that too, before ending the day in a sprint to the bus in a downpour. I was earlier than usual as I hadn’t seen McC the Elder for weeks and we needed a good catchup. Good idea, that. Y’know, starting early so you can leave early. Somewhere along the way, the idea which then became the plan failed in the execution phase. 
What’s been going down elsewhere? Talking of failed plans, eight hundred thousand people in west central Scotland are in some sort of half arsed lockdown following some breaching of some arbitrary limit set on new cases. Within arbitrary (ie local council) boundaries. Neat. 
Seems we’ve created a full time crisis management culture and there’s no end game. No victory. This new Coronavirus, like the others, presumably isn’t going away but we seem to have stumbled into a zero community transmission strategy of dubious doability and we’re persisting with it. One more push!
Meanwhile I noticed that Erasure are selling tickets for their tour next year. How everything will suddenly be safe by 2021 isn’t really clear. I guess we just hope it will be. Maybe we should all wear masks out on the pavement. I’m sure it would be safer.
