The Knock-On Effect of Lockdown

Jack Straw's Boardgame Café in East Belfast - just before the arrival of Dundonald - has shut down permanently.

I remember being there with events with Specialisterne- and winning a round of Blockbusters. (Not only am I old enough to remember Blockbusters being on TV, but I also remember the 'Give us an E' track which began with Bob Holness - Blockbuster by Skin Up)

I fear what might happen to cities like Belfast.

I'm sorry to hear that Desmond. It is very sad that we are beginning to lose very valued places, venues and more.

I'm in Cookstown Library for the first time post-Lockdown.

NEVER AGAIN!

1. I was made to wipe my screen.

2. They said that I can't return again without a mask.

3. The two-factor authentication on my Google Account meant that I had to use my phone - which they might confiscate.

As Ronald Reagan said, "The nine most terrifying words anyone can hear is 'I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help!'"

I appreciate how awkward this is

I'm hoping to stay alive long enough to see community come back again.
