\Thanks for thus BOO HOO.

That's amazing, considering how many clutches they have lost so far this year.  The females need a lot of calcium to produce the shells but somehow they've managed it.  Well done them.

Thanks to you Webmaster for all the hard work you do on this site. And a Merry Christmas to you, and to everyone on the site.

We rented this house for six very enjoyable months when we first came to Dawlish, in April 2000, before we bought a place of our own.  Nice to see someone is still taking care of it.  It must be one of the oldest houses in Dawlish.

@BOO HOO - I don't think so, but thanks for the thought.

Yes indeed, thanks for keeping this site going so well. And Happy New Year to all on here.

Well said @Carer .

See the story below : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2k0x7k1dwko I can't get to the drop-in sessions that the story says will be held in the Council Chamber this (Wednesday) afternoon, but II thought some of you might like to know.

A friend took me down to Dawlish Hospital for my Covid jab yesterday; when he found a machine to pay, its instructions were all in German so he couldn't.  Is that right ?

Thank you Ziggy.

Steve.  I got mine several days ago.  The postal poll card says "If you have not received your postal vote by Friday 28 June 2024 call 01626 215104".

Thanks again @TRB.

Thanks for the list of candidates TRB.

Lovely, thank you Ziggy.

Thanks Lynne, knew I could count on you !

I'm sure everyone is fed up with this, so I'll say one thing more and then shut up.  Promise. Note the 'not causing obstructions' phrase in Lynne's post. Cassandra's original post seemed to imply that householders must be able to park outside their property even if by doing so they cause an obstruction. If that was not what you meant then I apologise.

It's now OK, thanks, please ignore this thread.

To be introduced in Dawlish and Cockwood, apparently.  Details to come.

Thanks Huw, interesting.

Yes indeed, couldn't agree more.

Bad luck Carer.  I get prescriptions regularly from Barton and never have to wait more than two days.

Thank you Lynne, what would this forum be without you ?

Network's latest newsletter says : We are currently reconstructing the seaward platform at Dawlish station, as well as building a new sea wall at Dawlish and preparing to install a rockfall shelter north of Parson's Tunnel, near Holcombe. We will be working around the clock on the following dates and times when the railway line is temporarily closed from 3am on Sat 5 Feb till 3am on Mon 7 Feb from ...

I see she has had the Tory whip withdrawn because she voted against the govt re VAT on fuel bills. Tut-tut, naughty girl.

Good news, Ziggy, thank you.

You could try Adrienne on 638628.  She does mine very well.

I see from their latest newsletter the "Wavewalker's work is finished".  They don't actually say it will be walking away, or when, but it should be quite a sight when it does.

Well, I went out to do my bit last night, but none of my neighbours appeared. Was it just that people didn't know it was happening again, are people 'clapped out', or do people feel that there are better ways of supporting the NHS etc ?

Here's wishing a better year in 2021, to everyone on this site. Nice to hear fireworks last night - some people not discouraged by all the recent bad news, plus Tier 3 !

Epicurus, you are wasted on this forum.

And the total now ten, apparently.

Thank you Lynne.

Yes, I heard it (I live on the West Cliff side).  Assumed it was thunder.

True, but we don't have to wear proper masks from 24th, just some kind of face covering.

The only thing I know is that the Smugglers isn't opening till Wednesday.

Nice to see them on the TV news yesterday, with their 'drivethru visiting' scene. Just another part of the 'new normal' ?

I've been pleased up till now to see that the SW has consistently had the lowest rate of hospital cases etc. in the UK.  I was less pleased yesterday to see that the R0 rate in the SW is among reckoned to be the highest, at 0.76.  All the more reason to keep on following the guidance (if we can understand it, as Lynne says). Mind you, I've no idea how they work that out so maybe I'd best just ...

The red/pink at dawn yesterday was lovely as well.  Thanks DEEDOODLE.

As a 75-year-old who is 'shielding' atm, I'm with HuwMatthews2 on this one.

I wouldn't have a problem with it but I haven't got a smartphone so I couldn't use it anyway.  There must be a lot of people like me, who can't get traced.
