I wondered about that horse jumping up onto the wall too.

After reading this I thought about your planned holiday, if there was any doubt........:

A husband and wife from the U.S. had been eagerly anticipating their once-in-a-lifetime Viking River Cruise through the Mekong Delta for months, but when three passengers on the ship tested positive for COVID-19, things quickly turned ugly. The Illinois couple says they and the other passengers on the cruise were sequestered in an isolated“filthy, dilapidated” hotel far from their scheduled disembark location.

“We’re just feeling helpless,” Ryan Knapp told USA Today on March 16th, describing the accommodations as an abandoned hotel in southeast Cambodia. “It’s hard to see exactly how this plays out.”

Knapp says he has no idea how he and his wife will be able to make their way back to the U.S. To make matters worse, the 57-year-old reports that while they are not being medically quarantined, officials have told them they are being detained.

I think Tom had a lucky escape.   How different it all looked a month or so ago? I don't know when Tom's holiday was due to finish, and it doesn't look like the same boat, but it is clear now that it was likely to have ended really badly. 

Where was that article from?  I wouldn't mind reading it. 

Cheers

Sorry to have a rant Mr Hican but the new laws regarding the collection of scrap metal are so discriminatory that it makes my blood boil.

In fact, I'm not going there.

Given that there isn't much else to do, I am going to try and kick the kids out of bed for this.

We are lucky in that we live very close to a country park, so should be able to get most of the sounds from the garden.  I am not sure how compatible it is with the Sunday Million, but will give it a go one time.

You'll be fine. The dawn chorus is over by the time the sun is up. You're more likely to hear it while playing the night before's session.

They are both up for getting up beford dawn.   Don't know how they will handle the reality; am pretty sure the elder one will follow it up though.  I hate mornings, but am trying to do new things with them.
