Have just been outside for a little fresh air and a short walk during my lunch half hour, it may look ok out there, the sun is out and there’s barely a cloud in the sky. But the wind is a little chilly, its quite nice to sit in a sheltered spot but probably not good for sitting on a beach.

Thankfully I wasn’t planning on going down the beach today, am afraid I can’t fit it in, what with the work I have to do. Looking on the bright side of things we only have another 3 and half day days before the weekend once again.

Once again wishing my life away!

Big brother may be watching, but it’s not helping in the fight against crime. Well that’s the view of Detective Chief Inspector Mike Neville; despite having the most CCTV’s cameras in Europe no thought has gone into how to use them. He stated that the system was an utter fiasco and only 3% of street crime in London was solved by the use the CCTV.

We have 4.2 million cameras here in the UK and billions of pounds have been spent on the system but criminals do fear the CCTV camera because they believe that the cameras are not working.

Detective Chief Inspector Mike Neville who heads up the Met’s Visual Images Identification and Detections Office (Viiido) added CCTV operators also needed more feedback to ensure they felt "valued", he said.

The unit is now piloting a new database of CCTV images which police hope will help track and identify offenders and is also looking at ways of using software which can follow distinctive brand logos on the clothing of unidentified suspects.

In addition, from next month, his team will be putting images of suspects in muggings, rape and robbery cases on the internet.
"If criminals see that CCTV works they are less likely to commit crimes," Det Ch Insp Neville added.

‘Adventure Island’ enjoyed the best day of the year so far yesterday, I snapped a couple a pictures of the visitors enjoying themselves. Not really my idea of fun but each to their own, as they say.

The weather looks to continue warm and sunny for the rest of the week. Does this mean that summer has finally arrived? I really hope so, we have had enough of the rain and cold, I need to get out more, am looking a little pale.

Unfortunately am at work most of the day, so little chance of that, perhaps I should take a few days off.

All I can say, what a great Bank Holiday we have had, the weather was great dry, warm and sunny. The day trippers were out in thousands not car parking space to be had.

We had a great walk down the pier, then a slow walk home, we had a few jobs that needed to done like the ironing, we had been a little lazy and hadn’t bothered until early last night, so I did that while Rosemary cooked us a roast dinner.

We are both feeling stiff at the moment, we must have walked miles. Still I suppose it will have done some good. There say exercise is good for you, even though it is supposed to be done every day.
