There's a noticeable police presence about, the play park is ziptied shut. That was my mandated exercise for the day.

Going around and ziptying things?

People are being stopped round here if travelling... seems fair

I hope you all clapped at 8pm. Most of my Street did which was really good to see.

Most people in Manchester did, but there are reports of disgraceful behaviour in China Town where they were crapping in the streets.

The park just outside the town centre in Cardiff where I walk my dogs most mornings was pretty busy.

I’m not entirely convinced he has it. Horribly cynical I know, but he has form for lying through his teeth and this is the perfect excuse for him to hide from direct scrutiny about his and his governments appalling handling of this situation, just as it’s about to go properly pear shaped

We're doing virtual pub this afternoon at work, including some games, which might be fun, or terrible.

I've been asked to run another mafia game over slack, last time I did a standard game, this time though...

Yes.

That thing.

I'm not having to take 10 days compulsory unpaid leave now over the next 3 months..

Oh, I see.

Still sucks, but not as much I guess.

Fucking love Jackbox. Murder mystery is good, but I think I prefer "straight" YDKJ.

If you're all in the same room, Drawful is my Jackbox game of choice.

The 5-0 were driving their land rover over the phone Bach this afternoon, and then checking out the dogging car park. Also, the Community Patrol were driving down the path.

All very exciting.

I was pondering the impact of the pandemic on the dogging scene. I wonder what they're doing instead.

Naturally, now I have it I won't have the excitement of being stopped to show it. All the same I think they're winding up my post tomorrow as I'm not to go to County Hall on Monday. I'll either be re-assigned eventually to some admin thing in City Hall in support of the effort, told to stay at home and work on the great American novel or something as I have no home-working capacity, or given the option to volunteer for something.

I went out for a ride yesterday afternoon about 23km in total, so not far, but I haven't had any chance to do any riding for some time and need to exercise. The park just outside the town centre in Cardiff where I walk my dogs most mornings was pretty busy. There were people sunbathing, people throwing and kicking rugby balls around, which I thought was particularly dumb, and some people were even having picnics. No large groups of people, but a lot more people out and about than there are in the mornings when I'm walking the dog, generally around 8am. Not sure if there's an increased police presence or if I'm noticing them more as there's next to no traffic on the roads.
