Morning Bath. How lovely to see the sun today – and a wind-speed more bracing than blow away.

Well, l thought the new Bath-based ITV detective drama – ‘McDonald and Dodds’ – was enjoyable enough – apart from the over-done accents. Best thing on that channel for a while – though had forgotten how the commercials drag things out!!!

Going to be good for the city, and we need more home-grown tourists to top up the fall in the number of overseas visitors. Fuelled by all this virus stuff l suppose.
On that subject. Bit of a run on hand gel. Chemists and supermarkets either have bare shelves or are rationing the stuff
I paid £6 in Boots for two 50 ml bottles that usually cost around 75P! It’s being rationed too – to two bottles per customer.
How is everyone else getting on? Has anyone come up with a home-made recipe for a hand cleanser that doesn’t cost a fortune.

On a positive note, this is making us all think about hygiene a bit more. Did l hear on Radio 4 that, to get the handwashing time right, you should sing the first verse of the national anthem before you rinse? I wonder how many still know it!
There is an alternative. Two renditions of Happy Birthday to You!
You might want to reconsider your purchase, anti bacterial hand gel wont work on killing a virus , need alcohol based products at 60% so I have been advised. However physical washing is good, the WHO have a good video.
