    It is with great sadness that I have to mention the loss of a few local businesses as a result of COVID-19.
    A local bra manufacturer has gone bust, a submarine company has gone under, a manufacturer of food blenders has gone into liquidation, a dog kennel has had to call in the retrievers and a company supplying paper for origami enthusiasts has folded.
    Local strip club has gone tits up, Interflora is pruning its business and Dynorod has gone down the drain. The saddest one though is the ice cream van man found dead covered in nuts and raspberry sauce. He couldn't take it any more and topped himself.

    It's amazing how accurately kids can draw things they've seen.

    Yeah, but they are clever. I like the smile on the face of the woodpecker.

    I'd smile if a chicken could cross the road without having its motives questioned.

    Even on remote Easter Island there are 6 confirmed cases of Covid-19. I wonder if there is a safe place in the world?
