Good Afternoon People,it's a brighter calmer one here today...just had a run
around with the Dyson & pledge,Ironed a few t shirts,so out to the SH for a nice long read,

I heard this on the radio and I hope Nicola does as She says,


Scotland should retain the two-metre social distancing rule as part of its efforts to combat coronavirus, an expert has said.

Behavioural scientist Professor Susan Michie from University College London was speaking as Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon prepares to announce the findings of a review into whether the two-metre rule should remain north of the border.

England has already scrapped the policy in favour of a one-metre plus system, and is also moving ahead with plans to open pubs, restaurants and hairdressers this weekend on what has been dubbed “independence day”.

Prof Michie said the change is a “disaster waiting to happen”, insisting opening indoor areas in pubs is “probably the top of the level of the hierarchy of riskiness”.



Alcohol disinhibits behaviour – even if people start evening with good intentions re. keeping distance, regular hand cleansing, after a couple of drinks they are likely to be forgotten. Put that together with opening pubs on Saturday, on Independence Day & hyping it up,

Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland’s Good Morning Scotland programme, she said: “I think it is really misguided. I think it is asking for trouble. I think everybody can see what is going to happen.

“If we really want to eradicate this virus and get back to normal, this is exactly what we should not be doing.”

Prof Michie, a member of the Independent Sage expert group, said Scotland has so far performed “brilliantly” in tackling Covid-19.

She warned against relaxing the two-metre rule, particularly after a cross-border cluster of cases were discovered in the south-west of Scotland and north-west of England.

She said Scotland should “keep on going in that careful, cautious way because it is obviously showing massive dividends compared to south of the border”.

She added: “Given you have got these outbreaks and clusters, I would suggest going a bit more slowly and I would definitely suggest hanging on to the two-metre rule in the light of that.”

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

Evening, Arrived in Perth about 5am went straight to bed and slept till midday. Went grocery shopping and took a wet walk with the dog up Kinoull Hill. Son and Daughter coming for the day on Sunday looking forward to seeing them again. Enjoy your W/E everyone.

Re: Over 50's Club Scotland (part 3)

I'm a bit late getting on tonight. Roxy, thanks for the Janey Godley clip. I hadn't seen that one yet & a laugh before bedtime is good. It has been wet & miserable today. Was out for a wee while but I'm mainly working on my laptop. I get so involved that time passes quickly, too quickly sometimes. Glad you had a safe journey home. It's a long drive. I'm looking forward to lunch or dinner out, but I don't think it will be anytime soon. At least we have England ' testing the water' for us & we can make decisions when the outcome of this has been assessed. Doesn't look like sunshine this weekend but we can always hope. Sleep well.
