Wonder what the parallels are between the 'wearing a mask' and the 'wearing a bike helmet' debates?
Not looking for an answer. Just wondering.

Well one is of dubious value and the other is even more so.

Son phoned at tea time,right in the middle of our Anniversary tea.He went to see his 'new' flat.He took photos of it so we could see it.It is filthy even he is disgusted.Never been cleaned last year seeing the state of it.I am sick of landlords and letting agents.Over the years our two have been away we have cleaned more times than i want to remember.Well tomorrow said letting agents are in for a shock,he is not taking it,it's that bad.We are going over to see it for ourselves,then the fun will start,we want OUR money back,and son is going looking again.

Morning.
We had some drizzle here earlier.
I was just wondering! With some of the easing of lock down and marriages taking place but with safety restrictions. I was just wondering if the wrong people could get married to one another due to face masks being worn ?

I understand the couple have to wash their hands & wear PPE after the ceremony.

What answer did you have in mind, was it the same as mine?

Very probably

I've just had an email about my bitcoin account. Apparently I'm $1500.00 up. I'm getting very forgetful these days. I don't even remember buying them....

I'm going to have to record my cd's onto a USB stick so that I can listen to my favourite music in my car as it doesn't have a cd player.

I've got a CD player in the car but have never used it, I've got a USB stick plugged in and set on random play, its got most of the music off my computer loaded on it.

That's Tesco negotiated. It's been nearly three weeks, so had a list as long as my arm and then some! As ever, I timed things for final reductions, and given the place was pretty unbusy, I had everything near enough to myself.

Oddly though, there were a lot of gaps on the shelves and in the chiller cabinets again, with a fair few things out of stock - something I've not come across for a while. It meant that there were several things that I needed (admittedly not desperately) but couldn't get, like rice cakes, lard, bubble bath, butternut squash and peppermint tea. So had to be a bit creative here and there. Hey ho. On the baking front, they now have baking powder and bicarb along with a good selection of flour, but still no cream of tartar or yeast.

But on sticker I picked up beer battered cod, two kinds of smoked salmon, cheddar, yoghurts, mushrooms, peppers, green beans, chicory, new potatoes, large mangoes, avocadoes, blueberries, tangerines, pomegranates, breakfast cereal, bronze die penne and spaghetti and two bags of brioche rolls. Certainly not to be sniffed at.

All groceries now serving their customary quarantine in the utility room.

I have had a cheese sandwich and two for supper, and am now rather kaput.

But unless she has been confirmed as being a carrier therefore protecting others, then it's a 99% chance she isn't therefore wearing a mask is not going to prevent her becoming one of the 1%

It's simply being considerate towards other people.

Went for the roll neck jumper in the end.

As Tuesday turned out to be a day of drizzle, wind & constant grey skies, I ended up going through a spare room/junk store and clearing it if stuff that should have been thrown out years ago - VHS box sets (remember them?) that wouldn't even cover the postage cost if put up for sale on Ebay, calendars from the late '90s onwards, giveaway posters and the like from various motorsport events, packaging boxes, that sort of thing. I now have 10 black sacks, 1 bookcase, 1 x 3 drawer unit & 1 x storage unit that now need to be taken to the tip/recycling centre. On the other hand I now also have plenty of storage room for more junk

If you've got any Derek Warwick stuff or motorsport vids I don't have, let me know xxx

I still have space to add to my own collection of junk.

Don't worry, I did check as I went through the stuff, but didn't find anything for either Warwick, otherwise you would have had an alert. I did find a signed jenson Button card from his days in F3 'though. I've kept the motorsport tapes until I can get the DVDs - BTCC from '88 to '99 especially.

There was some good news today. When I finally got to sit down and have a coffee & a catch up, there was an email from MSV - they are opening their circuits up to spectators from next weekend I have next weekend off and it also just happens to be the HSCC meeting at Brands Hatch on the GP circuit so I need to get a photo done for my MSV season ticket and put some credit on to the Dart Charge account 🏎🏎🏎 and my cycling mileage will be dropping off quite a bit!

Ah, thanks for thinking of me xxx
