Not wishing to add  an argument but how do you wear masks in a pub or restaurant. People would be constantly putting them on and taking them off to eat and drink. This from what I have read would cause a greater risk than not wearing them at all. Now opening pubs and restaurants is a whole different discussion.

Agree about it being a risk. I Don't know how to word what I'm trying to say as it just sounds wrong when I write it. 
It's not feesible to have masks in pubs and restaurants when you're eating and drinking all the time,  butt the risk of catching it  there is the same
as if you're in a shopping centre or shop.

I visited an aged relative by train yesterday (He lives alone and has very few friends nearby to him so I try to get there once a month). It takes over 3 hours and I have to catch 3 different trains and was very surprised that so many young men, and it was entirely young men, who were not wearing masks whilst travelling. The train staff didnt appear make any effort to enquire why which also surprised me.

That's bad, they should have been refused travel.

It's seems to be entirely random as to who wears masks and who doesn't, there are always some people on the bus without a mask and no one says anything, the bus drivers can't police it and I was told that a bus driver was badly beaten up for telling someone they had to wear a mask on his bus

I don't normally have my mask on when I get on the bus and I haven't been refused travel yet, I normally put it on when I sit down and if its just me and the driver I don't wear it at all because I am too far away and they are behind a screen

I think that's why they haven't stipulated wearing them in pubs etc,it would be too risky to keep removing it and putting it back on. I think people could wear them until they are seated though and then take them off

A new week already 🙀time seem to be flying by 
Yesterday I went riding and had lots of fun, Dougal has put lots of lockdown weight on though so he was a lot wider than the last time I rode him, we are both now trying to lose weight 😀

I've managed to set my tv up with the aerial cable plugged in so no longer need the virgin box,I haven't got rid of it yet because I wanted to use the tv without it for a few days  to make sure it works properly. It seems ok 

Money wise things are ticking along quite nicely. I did a bit of shuffling round of my savings last week. I've moved the money from the general savings account into my Christmas account. I've done this because I was becoming increasingly tempted to spend it. I won't touch it if it's in the Christmas fund and I now have my basic Christmas budget sorted, this is the minimum I think I will need so I will add to it if I get the chance between now and Christmas but I can relax a bit now because I know I can do Christmas for £500. The emergency fund still stands at £1000 so although I would love to add to this I'm happy with it at the moment.
The general savings fund is now to become the house fund I've got £50 in there at the moment so will keep adding to that to try and build it up, I think having a non named savings account won't work for me because I just want to spend it, if I know it's for something I won't touch it 😀🙄

DD 2 started her new job yesterday and it sounds like she is going to be really busy once she has done her induction, they are really short staffed in her department due to staff shielding and on maternity leave, she is starting on the respiratory wards so will be working with patients with COPD and post covid infected patients who need rehabilitating, it's should be interesting
