In the news in Norfolk are the idiots who come to the coast. There are no life guards on our beaches during this time, but one idiot thought it a good idea to play in a small inflatable. With a fresh offshore, it wasn't long before he was well out to sea and our volenteer lifeboat was tasked to go out. Further up the coast 10 people including 5 children had the RNLI Hovercraft tasked to rescue them from scolt head Island, and that was after the reserve wardens had cleared the island of day trippers as the tide started to flood. They were warned the tide will cut off the island but they continued to wade through the water, plain crazy.

Yet another fatality in south Devon today in the sea.

Some lifeguards are unofficially working but the official word is that there is no coverage.

The young guy had driven down from Buckinghamshire.

Two others yesterday on our local news

Bizarrely, some are blaming the RNLI

Not much mention of the individual responsibility

Not quite current affairs, but still current. Am I the only one enjoying the emails coming from the various cruise lines at the minute? They often brighten up my day with little quizzes etc.

[screwy]

Waiting patiently to see if the Spacex launch will go ahead, bad weather could intervene.

[barney]

Me too Ken
Bombarded is the term I’d use.

We have a friend with her own travel agency and she said she’s been busy for 2021 holidays

Slight increase in Carnival shares, will it last.?

[Kendhni]

Slight increase in Carnival shares, will it last.?

I am annoyed that I missed out when the price really dropped - but I have had a buy order in for several weeks now (the share price has not dropped low enough to trigger it though .... came tantalisingly close but then went back up). There is talk of a recession which may bring the prices back down, but hopefully would blast its way up again once the world settles down.
