i think all here in england  will be glad to read that most businesses will open july 4. we are all rather tired of the lockdown.

• Indoor attractions at aquariums, zoos, safari parks, farms, wildlife centres and any place where animals are exhibited to the public as an attraction.

i saw the above list in daily express article

and delighted that libaries are included in that list. but it looks like indoor gyms and swimming pools are still not allowed to open.

and i only like that libraries are open just because i can have a destination to go to as a reason for going out of the flat,rather than now, when the only destination is going to the supermarket.

what will make it not worthwhile going to the library is if they bring in really strict rules on keeping people apart or limiting the numbers into the library. that would mean queues outside the library and that will deter me from going as i dont like to queue. lets hope that the rule about keeping 2meters apart is now abolished, to 1meter so that might abolish the queues outside the shops. 

i see hotels etc are all closed now. its hard to believe that they are not making money for all these months. what business can survive? and where do the tourists stay now? or are there no tourists in all uk since they dont have anywhere to stay? they cant all be renting flats can they? i cant see any tourist remaining in the country as there is nowhere to stay, nothing is open so there is nothing to go to, nothing to do. i would take the first flight to go home, if i were a tourist here. so i guess practically everyone of them must have left allready.
