Going, going, going, going, gone.....almost!

I took these photos to record my struggles removing a large, old shrub this week. The main problem was the rubble and stones in the soil which the roots had wedged around, making it awkward to get a spade or saw in. Now, given the soil is back almost level and I still have a wheelbarrow full of soil, how come I managed to remove the volume of stones (32 plant pots full), bricks and large root ball in the last photo? 

I went into town early this morning to the butchers, bakers and greengrocers. I was pleased to see everyone was wearing a mask. Speaking to another shopkeeper in the queue, she said it was the tourists that weren't complying and complaining about it. 

Day 132 / Full Day 124 of Lockdown / Day 22 of Step 3 (for my record only)
UK deaths up 61 to 45,738 with new daily cases up by 767. Globally, cases to date pass 16m, again up 1m in 4 days. There were 2,225 new cases in Spain yesterday and today the UK Govt announced that everyone arriving in the UK from Spain from midnight tonight will have to quarantine for 14 days, with employers asked to be understanding. PHE says the risk of death from Covid-19 increases by 40% for those with a BMI between 30-35 and by 90% for those with a BMI over 40 when compared to those with a healthy weight. 63% of adults in England are overweight or obese, so with a BMI over 25.
