Very quiet, actually.

Buses
If for any reason you are in London and are struggling with the virus, please be aware that buses may not be entered at the front (to protect the driver).
Use the middle door, let other passengers off first (at a sensible distance), there’s no need to swipe in and take your time as there’s no hurry.
Bus doors have big stickers on telling you what do to. And do spread out inside the bus.
Even better, stay home.
Bus
Ages ago I wrote a blog about how to get onto a London bus: http://www.pwsanders.uk/2018/08/12/the-big-red-one/
The Boris bus has changed, due to passengers cheating the system and not paying for rides.
So now, instead of getting on using any door you may only use the front door.
Passports
A few weeks ago I wrote a short piece about the ignorance regarding travel after Brexit, and the state of the new passports that, apparently, we all want so much.
Jutst two days ago, there was finally some clarification, nearly a whole month since we had entered the transition period.

Fortunately, common sense has prevailed a little, and existing passports will be valid until they expire, in theory at least.
Interesting to see though that no-one in the UK can make these new passports. They have to be made in Poland by a French company.
And, apparently, people are not happy at the blue colour being really black.
