I live with open fields back and front, I know I'm dead lucky to, especially now.

There is a part of me though that wishes I could spend a day in London ATM, just to experience the relative quiet and oddness of it all, I used to live in Lewisham, pretty near the station, I just can't even imagine it empty.

Yeah, I live on the edge of a village (and know I'm lucky for easy access to empty countryside for walks), and even going into the village centre (the couple of times I've been for food shopping) it's strangely empty. This weekend it would usually be busy with tourists (I hope it will be empty visitors can fuck off home, they shouldn't be driving here. I know I sound like a nimby, but this is the rare exception where it's ok to be one). I'd love to wander around London when it's quiet, or even around my own nearest city. I used to like when Sundays were empty in a city centre, as has been said, noticing architecture or wandering down quiet alleys and discovering stuff, but now they're not so different from the rest of the week in areas where there are shops.

Wonder what animals are thinking - normally we're everywhere, making loads of noise and suddenly it all stops.

Fearless British media see past boring record death toll to break exclusive story that Boris Johnson is in a good mood

UK Broadcasters have patted themselves on the back for managing not to get distracted by the fact that the UK has overtaken Spain and Italy in daily death toll and instead zeroed in like snipers on the vital news that Boris Johnson was feeling rather chipper.

From the BBC

An online video chat for fans of BBC Radio 4 series The Archers had to be abandoned after being bombarded with pornography and Nazi swastikas.

The Dumteedum podcast, named after the refrain of the soap opera's theme tune, discusses all aspects of the programme.

And to cheer up listeners during lockdown, host Roifield Brown organised a Zoom call, which included a surprise appearance by actor Terry Malloy.

But as it turned out, that was not the only surprise.

"A gentleman who was at least 60 decided to pleasure himself in front of the massed ranks of Dumteedumers on Zoom," said Brown, on the latest edition of the unofficial fan-run podcast, which for the past six years has enabled enthusiasts to discuss the latest goings on in the fictional village of Ambridge.

"There was all manner of pornography thrown up and Nazi swastikas and I was called the N-word repeatedly."

All of this was witnessed by Malloy, who plays Mike Tucker in the world's longest-running drama series, and who had been happily answering fans' questions.
