Not sure if anyone has scuba dived, but there are some fabulous sights to be seen underwater. One of the best experiences of my life was scuba diving with dolphins in the open sea.
Great story. And a bonus, this young man 's parents are together, a rare even in the UK these days. I wish I knew where he lived I'd give him a few pounds.
Not good news exactly but for anyone interested these are the home and Twitter pages of The Antikythera Mechansim Research Project.
If you have never heard of it take a look as it will pass some time whilst you are on Lockdown, it is perhaps the most remarkable surviving example of ancient technology ever discovered and the world's first analogue computer - from well over two millennia ago.
Did they do a runner and leave Jesus to pick up the tab?

Nope, Jesus is just following the lockdown rules.

Good news stories.....
The VE celebrations.
Apart from all the touching tributes in the media, many people had street parties with a difference. Our road had music blaring out for hors via loudspeaker, everything from Vera Lynn to Beyoncé, people were sitting in their own gardens or dancing along to the music in the road, keeping social distancing yet all coming together.
It was pretty heart warming.

This is simply incredible and certainly the way to go in the future.
Young children will not be able to tell the difference and surely it is far better than forcing a highly social, intelligent animal that has evolved to live in the ocean to spend it's days doing cheap tricks for human amusement in a small concrete box?

Brilliant idea.
The saddest sight I have seen is captve dolphins in Cyprus forced to perform for the public in a small swimming pool.
There are lots of places dolphins can be spotted, even swam with, but this is a great idea for kids.
