Thought for the day :"My toaster is not water-proof – I was shocked!"

Saturday and the heatwave continues - probably too hot to go to the warehouse today.
Had a request yesterday from an old friend and colleague - Devilstick Peat, juggler and entertainer extrordinaire... He had a young friend called Sasha, aged 17, who had been in a coma and was now recovering in hospital but was bed-bound and unable to move much and he wondered if I could put a couple of songs together for her... so I did!
It is unlisted as it was designed for Sasha personally, but I thought I would link to it here as a sort of additional Shut-down Serenade....
Concert for Sasha
Meanwhile, UK is thinking about opening up a bit and many are worried. We shall keep an eye on the figures.... Up to 6 can meet up (socially distancing of course) in England...
However, USA is rioting after the death of George Floyd at the hands of a policeman kneeling on him for almost 9 minutes as he begged to be allowed to stand as he could not breath.
Interesting yesterday as a black reported for CNN was arrested with his team while filming, as a white colleague o the next street was allowed to continue filming. Interesting footage as they left the camera on the floor still filming. Had memories of Max Headroom and "Edison Carter - Live and Direct"
And in the middle of the pandemic - the crowds just keep coming..
It also appears that the memorial day celebrations - especially the famous picture of the Ozarc Pool Parties... have now found that one person has tested positive for Covid 19 and has been tracked to several bars over the weekend.
Prewitt emphasized that social distancing is not a legal requirement, and said: "no laws were broken."
In other news, Trump is incensed by Twitter deciding to fact check him and drafted an executive Order which, having watched a fairly in depth analysis does not seem to actually say anything other than Twitter ought to watch out and so should other media platforms...Twitter responded by stating that a tweet about "when the Looting starts the shooting starts" was against community policies over inciting violence but that it would leave it there but with a warning.
Oh - and Trump withdraws from the World Health Organisation - that will help everyone.
Biden takes a lead in empathy by going on camera to say that the treatment of BAM people is wrong, and shows that he contacted the family of Floyd - prompting Trump to say that he had contacted the family as well - though no contrition or humility from the President - only determination to stop the THUGS rioting... (though that was a twitter).
Obama says that this should not be happening in 2020...
And so we get to today's Shut-Down Serenade - we get to 38... The Mild Ogre...
Cheers !!
