To get away from the ‘shock jock’ lovers, intent on making everyone feel anxious, let’s celebrate instead the small and large acts of kindness that are going around.
I’ll start off with two from today.
On my walk with the dog (which has had to change to lead walks around the area rather than big runs with loads of other dogs), I passed a man of about 40, with his son of about 12, leaving a bottle of wine on everyone’s doorstep in his road, ringing the doorbell and going on to the next house.
Second, I received an email via our neighbourhood watch for the area, from our local convenience store, the type run by the sort of people Lohengrin slagged off in another thread, offering to deliver supplies every morning to anyone who is elderly or vulnerable in the area if they ring them up and say what they need. No minimum. No cost.
It was my 3 year old grandsons birthday today and we couldn’t go see him because we are on lockdown so we FaceTimed him Sky News was on behind me and half way through telling me what he’d had for his birthday he said “Grampa,why did Boris Johnson not have the foresight to construct a 500k ventilators a year ago and stockpile 10 million face masks. ? I blame his science denial for this and his other crimes. Also, he is racist."
I could not answer and was left literally shaking.
Is he as clever as Lisa and does he take everything seriously like some of the people on here?
POSTER OF THE YEAR 2013.
PROUD RECIPIENT OF THE SECOND PLANET SWANS LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD.
Reading some posts on here in recent weeks I'm reminded of Dads Army and Corporal Jones, the people running round saying don't panic, don't panic are often the ones doing the panicking.
Huge shout out to GTech, who’ve moved all lines from cleaners etc to ventilators, have a prototype up and running, and are ready to move into production next week.
Four Formula One teams Mercedes, McLaren, Red Bull and Williams are also going to help with the production of 20,000 ventilators ... Plus Ferrari and Fiat have donated £9.3M to the Italian emergency fund, and have also bought 150 ventilators.
I imagine he only did it for his neighbours. I saw him go into 4 houses in the time it took me to walk past.
He may have gone on a pick up for everyone, doesn’t matter, it was brilliant to see.
What a decent bloke he sounds, Whatever the background of those home owners, they might well be able to afford dozens of their own bottles, but this man would have given them a warm feeling and put a smile on their face for what is likely to have been a dark week. Good on him, he didn’t have to do it.

Exactly.
I told him he was brilliant as I walked past him. As he is.
