Yes the Chinese government experimenting on their own citizens but it got out of hand, or was that what you were there for?

You should have stayed on the Grand Princess. You'd have just sailed under the Golden Gate.

That's a really unlucky pair of sisters!
I know your pain.I stopped years ago after getting stiffed by one person i helped.Didn't even leave me the kettle in the kitchen,never had a cuppa all the first day.Now i just do the mil and fil diy.After last weekends major kitchen de-clutter and refurbish, Mrs F showed her mum the pictures. 'Oh you can do that to my kitchen'. Mrs F relays this to me (MIL in a nursing home) saying it might make the house more 'sell-able'. I said I've not got time to do that, and anyone buying that house will rip the kitchen out (it's falling to bits). Anyway, your sister has trashed the upstair's ceiling trying to help - she ripped down polystyrene tiles, and forgot about all the glue etc - the whole ceiling needs a skim.
I've not got much spare time as it is, never mind re-furbing someone else's house when I won't get paid.
I must start doing 'rubbish' DIY, then no-one will ask ! Serves me right.

I woke up 40 minutes later than usual, used a few choice swear words, then was out the door 4 minutes after getting out of bed, a new record for me. I then cycled to work faster than usual. About 16-17 hours of packing over a long weekend (yesterday was a public holiday over here) has left me very tired.
I once woke up at 5-30 it was dark outside As a postman we started work six mornings a week at 05-00.I got dressed without a shave or wash ran downstairs to find my mum making the evening meal.It was 5-30 in the evening.Fool.

Ah yes, the joys of being a Postman! How I laughed when I did that! More than once. About as funny as syphilis!!!
PS. I am, currently, ever so slightly drunk. Me who has no resistance to alchol has drunk vodka!!! Giggle giggle...... Fall down now!

I've got lots of jobs need doing in my house. Maybe if I leave them long enough, someone will do them...

Just wait, eventually the mould will grow, evolve, become self-aware, then do the job for you. Unless it dies from a pandemic virus, of course.I've got lots of jobs need doing in my house. Maybe if I leave them long enough, someone will do them...

I completed my British Cycling Guided Ride Leader Level 1 course on Saturday. Mundane to some, but exciting for me. Had a great day and enjoyed the course which is the probably the first and only time I'll enjoy being constantly assessed throughout the whole day! The other people on the course were great and we all worked well together. The tutor/assessor was brilliant - putting everyone at ease, having a laugh with us; he made it a great day and experience.
I have to wait up to 5 days for BC to put me into their various computer systems to give me access so I can start organising rides. Although I have thought that I may look for existing rides put on by experienced Ride Leaders and ask if I can assist to give me more experience before I put on my own. Guided rides are most definitely not like club rides and are a very different kettle of fish. I can't wait
On a side note, one of the attendees works for Sheffield Cycling 4 All which is a charity that puts on rides with specialist bikes in one of the local parks for people that are disabled. It looks like a really interesting and very worthwhile project and I was thinking of going and seeing what they do. I don't know if I'd have time to volunteer on a regular basis (although I'd really like to, I have two young kids, Go Ride coaching and now Guided Rides), but I can appreciate and understand the joy that this project would bring to people. The specialist bikes they have alone are really interesting - low riders, side by side trikes, wheelchair tandems, hand cycles, etc. Worth checking out in your areas if there's something similar and you're interested.

Oh, I put my green recycling bin out when I got back from the vet. No black bag this week, there's hardly anything in it.
