The increase of air force operations at night recently. We have a low fly zone immediately to the north of us and we regularly get low flying military jets just above our house but not at 11pm as now. I love to wach them, but it is all a bt ominous.

Re: MEDICAL MATTERS
Thanks all. I've discontinued the inadequately tested drug and will play the hand I've been given. On a better note, my youngest (blood) daughter has contacted me today for the first time since I came to China 17 years ago.

Re: Coronavirus (Covid19) Corner
According to the Sun, that fount of all knowledge, the UK has reported >30,000 new Covid cases per day for 19 consecutive days. Is this due to the social parasites who won't take the jab or wear a mask? These are dreadful figures.

Re: Seen in the News
See THIS BBC report of the reaction of the wholesale market of gas to the intervention by President Putin. It has shown an immediate fall but the incredibly volatile price is still a major worry as energy intensive users are looking at closures. The UK is seen as more vulnerable than other countrie...

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
There's no free lunch with these sites! They collect and use your data. If you are happy with that then it is OK.
I have one stepdaughter who spends hours on FB but is always complaining that she never has enough time to get things done!

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
Hooray. Facebook is down. What will all those people do who spend hours accessing it? It's banned, and not easily available in China, as is Instagram and WhatsApp. Hooray. Couldn't have happened to a better site!

...something to do with Forestry...? Well, I suppose it could be a system for pumping air into the ground around the tree roots to make sure they stay healthy - they wouldn't want to lose such a beautiful avenue of trees. Some street trees are given so-called vertical aeration, nicknamed street sno...
