Been at the helm of @leicslive for the weekend, here's some of my highlights.

[A thread]

We had a car into a house of course, and @ciaranefagan was out there like a shot to survey the damage. He was a little slower getting back into his house after he lost his leys on his roving reporter duties. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/homes-evacuated-after-car-crashes-4724712

The house has been shored up

Police have reportedly taped the area off

Of course we covered #covid stuff. This report caused a few comments - just to put it on the record I have nothing but admiration for the way schools are dealing with the situation, and we are in no way criticising them. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/local-news/class-self-isolate-14-days-4725567

It is the latest in a series of cases to affect a Leicestershire primary school

The dashboard also shows the seven-day infection rate in your exact area

We have published some heartbreakers, chief among them Hollie Jobber's family fundraising. Unimaginable. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/social-worker-hollie-35-leaves-4716880

Friends are raising money for her young family

There waits of more than an hour

But the biggest shocker of this weekend's newslists is this man's age, frankly. Holy cow - I want what he's been having. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/meet-tony-award-winning-old-4724281

He helps brighten people's days, the home's owners said
