More deaths, less tests, less negatives.
I hope so! Not too fussed about the weather, as long as it’s dry and I can have a wee when out and aboutMore and more public toilets are reopening, the council have had to refit some of them to adhere with social distancing. More importantly lifeguards are getting back to manning the beaches, slowly but hopefully by the summer holidays they will be fully up and running.
I wouldn't say locals are hostile,the most I've seen is locals saying they are making the most of the next week or two and will then stay away from the tourist hotspots until the end of the summer season. You see the odd prat on social media but in reality that is a tiny percentage who think like that and you'll likely not even come in to contact with those few. I'm sure you'll have a lovely time down here and hopefully the sun will shine
My bestie is thinking of getting married during lockdown (using those number limits to her advantage). They don’t have to wear a mask. She can have 6 people, and can’t walk down the isle or say any words of their own except the standard ones. The registrar is behind a screen.
She’s loving it. Nothing big and perfect excuse because people keep sticking their nose in. She’s thinking of having people back to the garden with a big party on their one year next year.
Yep but:More deaths, less tests, less negatives.
Deaths 23-29 June: 819
Deaths 16-22 June: 918
Cases 23-29 June: 6257
Cases 16-22 June: 8432
Still seeing week on week reductions.
The wedding guidance is ok if you want to just be legally married, but for the thousands of couples and THOUSANDS of people who work in the wedding industry, this has been a real kick in the teeth.
30 guests max. But socially distanced so hard for some venues. Even a lot of outdoor weddings because of English law have to do the legal bit under cover in a small area, which is too small for couple, registrars and 2 x witnesses.
No contact with anyone outside your household. So dad's can't give away arm in arm.
'Absolute minimal service, just legal requirements' meaning no readings, no singing.
No reception at all afterwards.
And no idea of a map to get us out of this. Cue lots of very confused couples, many of whom have compromised a lot anyway.

Something lovely to look forward to. Do you have to pre order?Booking confirmed for my favourite restaurant for saturday
Wow just been announced that all the Broadway theatres in New York will remain closed until 3rd January 2021 (they closed suddenly in March, about the same time ours did).
I few UK theatres and arts venues have already made similar announcements in recent days about not reopening until 2021, but I expect a lot more around the country will now, and no doubt a similar date will come from London's West End theatre organisations.
This is just devastating news for the Arts world. I would think that theatres staying closed that long also means the same for concert venues and probably even nightclubs too, although I realise there's a lot more behind the scenes work in very cramped conditions that goes into theatres than nightclubs. I know there's some open air / drive-in concert type stuff being announced here and there but the capacities for those are tiny and it's hard to see how they're making any money.
Tragic for all those employed in the Arts both here and in the USA.

Nope. They did ask me how many households were included in the booking (think they’re only letting 2 or 3). Would have preferred an online order system than disposable menus though, seems a little wasteful
I'm due to get married in October. Its not a huge wedding, only 50 guests and no evening guests. I'm at the moment still holding out hope that they will allow this but all I can do is wait. If I need to postpone I will. I want nothing more than to just be married, but I have been looking forward to this day for ages. All our family and friends are also still hopeful for us and everyone is seeing it as a big party for us all to be together again, but again we will just see.
I guess it leaves an element of surprise if you can order when you are there, rather than pre planned. It will be so nice to eat out. Enjoy and let us know how you get on and what the experience is like.
Thank you, I will do! I haven’t been to any shops (besides supermarket) so this will be my first social experience for months. I’m sure it’ll be strange but it’s nice to finally have things to look forward to!
I absolutely love the theatre and have had six visits booked between now and end of the year, they have all been either cancelled or postponed. I cannot see a way of them being able to open unless there’s a vaccine. Very sad, but not surprised, to hear about Broadway as well. There will be no pantomime production at out theatre this year as they don’t have money to cover purchasing everything they need and are also worried about ticket sales being low, in addition there is the chance they will be told they cannot open, So they have decided not to take the risk.
I had my first Starbucks at the weekend, not quite the same as going for dinner but still nice. Have ventured into town to the shops, it’s been nice, I’ve felt ok with it. Although I miss the buzz of a busy shop, it’s nice to browse in relative peace!
There is major lobbying going on within arts/entertainment at the moment for sector support etc
I'm in Wales too. As from next Monday the 5 mile rule is gone....its anywhere. So we are travelling to Surrey on 10th July to see our grandchildren. Can't wait!
I love the theatre too and have had several cancellations since lockdown
.I know, I doubt it will come to much though. Rishi has already spent too much on the furlough scheme (which way more companies took up than was intended) and other measures, there's no money left. Vast numbers of small Limited Company businesses and freelancers have been completely ignored for any assistance and I expect the arts world will be ignored as well.
Theatre lover here too. Had loads booked this year and thankfully most have been rescheduled for next year. Have booked school of rock for January for my daughter but not hopeful we will get there.
Missing concerts too. Should've been at westlife on Friday then taking my daughter to see little mix on Sunday. Both cancelled with no new dates
