Day Thirty Nine
Covid-19
has certainly created some strange situations around the world.
In the USA,
several States brought in the compulsory wearing of face masks but Zorro and
the Lone Ranger didn't quite get the idea.

France is having to re-think laws brought in
during 2018.
The rules, often seen as
anti-Islamic, prohibited face covering, but
may need to be repealed after Les Flic made 33 million arrests.

People are
rushing to grow their own vegetables, quite often indoors where no one has bothered to vacuum the carpets in the spare room since Lockdown began.
Many people
in rural areas are also foraging and there’s been a boom in Wild Food recipes.
The most popular website features Scottish
personality Fred MacAulay saying, ‘There’s nothing more
enjoyable than growing something in your garden and then having it for dinner. Last night we had white heather with some grass and
tonight we’ll be eating rhododendron leaves and a slug.’

Sources close to MacAulay insist that although he is well known for growing his own, the above does not indicate cultivation of marijuana, known in Scots Gaelic as 'marijuana'.
Many people
have had the opportunity during Lockdown to learn new skills.
These include certain feats of endurance such as not washing for 3 months and eating 15 meals a day.

In warmer
climes, some have eschewed laundry and simply stood, fully dressed under the shower every 17 days or so.
Bedding was initially something of a problem

Queuing at
the supermarket is not a problem for most Russians as today’s 5 hour wait outside Azbuka Vkusa store is nothing
when compared to the Soviet experience
of waiting outside GUM for several days to get a tube of toothpaste.
“Я однажды в очереди 3 дня за морковкой” (I queued 3 days for one carrot) says child.
The Pentagon has released 2 previously classified
films of UFOs and many people are querying the move.
Why now after 17 years of close secrecy?

There may be just a wee clue here.
President Trump (the man whose name means ‘fart’)
aka The Orange One had just announced that people could kill the Covid-19 virus
by injecting themselves with disinfectant.
Other
than actually declaring war on China they needed something pretty serious to prevent
massive earthquakes due to the world’s 7.8 billion people all falling about laughing
simultaneously.
Having watched these films, I’m wondering why
they were ever secret in the first place and I confess I’m deeply disappointed.
I was hoping for, at the very least, Mekon, the ruler of the Treens and Dan Dare’s
arch enemy.
In 1952 when Project Blue Book, the US Air Force's
In 1952 when Project Blue Book, the US Air Force's
programme to collect data on UFOs began, I had high hopes that Dan Dare and his sidekick Digby would help them out.
So I was excited to see what had been kept under such close wraps all these years.

What we got was a film of an albatross swooping over the sea, then a 2nd albatross spiralling to earth having
just been hit by the US Navy plane which filmed it.
What's so secret about that?
