Aftermath of the Reading Festival!!

John Peachey sent this through to me.

Tents left behind after Reading Festival. I wonder how many of the ‘fans’ have been vaccinated.

It makes me wonder how big an outbreak we might get from this number of people gathering in such close proximity.

It also makes me despair at the mess that they’ve left behind. Incredible.

Manaus – the great slick of plastic waste!

I watched from the quay. There was a vast slick of plastic waste in the harbour. A large barge with a big mechanical grabber was scooping out the plastic. It looked full – a great heap of plastic waste – yet the great mess of plastic in the Amazon river looked as big as ever!
