The ‘Bemused’ clan.

They just keep hanging on

Broadsheet commenter ‘Slightly Bemused’ writes:

A few weeks ago Nick had a competition and I spouted on about Perfect Day and how my family were doing our own version. I promised to keep people updated

Today, the results landed (above), and my brother posted it to YouTube, so I guess it is public.

Not the world’s best performance, but not the worst either. In any event, my family – 5 generations across 4 continents represented. I am in there, but I am not telling :-)

PS They are now talking about a sequel, and looking for suggestions.

Anyone?

They say they  have ‘come to the conclusion that COVID-19 is no more dangerous than a normal seasonal flu and quarantines are not making any difference in preventing its spread’.

At a press conference (full link below) Dr Erickson said:

“Do we need to still shelter in place? Our answer is emphatically no. Do we need businesses to be shut down? Emphatically no. Do we need to test them and get them back to work? Absolutely.”

For those of us that are missing the daily constitutional due to the lockdown, this is a short and simple film of one of the nicest walks on the southside of Dublin. Great to see. Hope to be back there soon with (my dogs) Mr Hugh & Lette…
