Nice Haircut

I took another walk this morning along the old railway line. We had a sharp frost overnight, but the sun had a lot of warmth to it, so the frost soon cleared and it turned into a beautiful morning. This afternoon I did some work in the garden for a while. I've finally found a streaming service that is showing S1 of the Handmaid's Tale - yikes!

Day 349 / Day 54 of Lockdown 3 (for my record only)
UK deaths up 144 to 122,849 (revised basis), with 6,035 new cases, 14,808 patients in hospital, 1.971 on ventilation and 1,112 new admissions. c20.1m have now received their first dose of the vaccine. The single dose vaccine by Johnson & Johnson has been approved by Regulators in the US. Cases of the Brazil P1 'variant of concern' have been found in the UK, 3 in South Gloucestershire and 3 in the Grampian region of Scotland. Two in England are linked and came from a person returning from Brazil before the hotel quarantine regime was introduced. The third didn't fill in their test registration card and their whereabouts is unknown. The 3 in Scotland flew from Brazil via Paris and London. The Govt has said that when kids return to school, all members of their household will be entitled to 2 rapid coronavirus tests a week. The Chancellor announced a £5bn fund for use by Local Authorities in England to give 'restart grants' to High Street shops and hospitality firms from April.
