DARREN & HENRY.
Near the end of another afternoon under, and over the bonnet of the restoration project on his beloved 1950's Ford Anglia 'Henry' which has kept Darren busy in his downtime throughout the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Lockdowns. Loved by the masses of Harry Potter fans the car also plucks a string in my heart as I remember back to my childhood and the one 345 GRL nicknamed 'Bessy' driven by my grandfather and then after by my mother. This 1959 model would have cost £310 straight out of the showroom in it's day, the equivalent to 152 of the tiny ales D sups on as he finishes the day.

Drumming in support for the protestors against HS2 on the inside of the perimeter fence who have camped and even inhabited some of the trees in Euston Square Gardens since August until just a few days ago.
The protests hit a new high point after the ground level encampment was removed, whereupon it was revealed that the protestors had tunnelled underground beneath the gardens.There have been six arrests since Tuesday and some activists claim the eviction team are using unsafe methods to remove the protestors from the tunnel although with the tight passageways dug beneath the gardens the HS2 Rebellion group have claimed they can remain in the tunnel for several weeks.

Originally from Brazil and on her last shift before attempting to leave to fly back home to Brazil to visit her increasingly unwell father on compassionate leave Monica worries that she will be unable to return after to the UK when she’s due back in mid February if quarantine rules are imposed to isolate those arriving or returning to the UK in Hotels with fees payable for the pleasure upwards of £1,500 and rumoured to be nearer the £3,000 mark. After months or working tirelessly on a modest NHS salary Monica fears she’ll be unable to return if these prohibitive fees are imposed on her with the NHS loosing a valuable member of staff at such a critical time in the process.

With his assessments compete and a place assured to study Business at University Sam decided to miss this year as the option of learning remotely wasn't the most appealing and instead has spent what for many would be a gap year the last 9 months working at his local B&Q store. It's given him the opportunity to earn and save before his sturdies although he does admit he does have a fear at how the superstore management don't limit the numbers at any time in store or supply even the most basic of PPE while also selling the non- essentials reaping profits akin to those levels seen in normal times.

THE VIRUS WITHIN 01
Piccadilly Circus London. 19.34 Saturday 03rd October during the Great Global Pandemic of 2020
With the virus having flattened and life feeling to be slowly returning to some sense of normality Covid 19 cases begin to surge after 12,872 people test positive for the virus as of 9AM this morning.
901,905 tests for coronavirus have now been carried out of which 171,253 have tested positive an increase of 6,032 since the day before.
Across all settings the government added that a further 49 people had died within (within the new 28 days of testing positive rule) bringing the total number of UK deaths to a total of 42,317.
The latest figure of 12,872 new cases which puts the UK's total number of cases at 480,017 is the highest daily rise since the pandemic began although while saying this experts have warned it could be misleading as it is unclear how many people had been infected during the height of the first wave due to the lack of community testing at the time. -
