last night's work wasn't bad. working with a new hire, a young man from Ecuador. having just had my front teeth upper & lower crowned & looking good, at great expense, I couldn't help but notice his front teeth are damaged & some missing. he is so nice & I can't help but imagine his hardships for his young life & his prospects moving forward. he's conscientious & eager to learn the job & English

saw a big boat, fishing type, on a trailer, on the highway. must be Spring. tried to take a cell phone pic but my phone's camera was fooled by the windshield glass & the photo is horrible
I concur. As does my soggy doggy.
She did enjoy the 3 mile walk through sheep filled fields, though! 🐑

Yeah, that makes sense
I have a chest freezer as well, but it broke a few years ago over the Xmas hols (that was fun, taking all that lot to the tip...), and now gets used as a cupboard for cat food. I chose not to replace it as an additional freezer, because it was just an invitation to buy too much when yellow stickering.

If you feel up to it can you not just go for a walk and avoid contact with anybody?

Had a ham & cheddar sandwich for luncheon, along with a pear, an orange and two 
It is currently not but it's looking rather dark on the horizon again. I was planning on going into town to sort out a few errands, but have decided to defer as I don't fancy getting wet.
My watch has arrived.

I'm very tempted. I was considering driving to a quiet beach I know and I can't see what harm it would do but the advice is not to go out.

W'hey! 
The camera is sort of working !
I cycled over to my brother's with it . First of all I tried it without a lens or SD card . Switched it on and it came up with Err ! I put an SD card in and formatted it . It seemed to do that. I tried the reset buttons but Err remained . I noticed that there was clock next to Err , so I put the date and time in . I put his lens on and set everything to manual and tried taking a photo . The shutter hesitated , took a picture but the mirror returned to the up position . I tried several in quick succession but it delayed and the mirror returned to the up position . Oh! The Err had gone . I tried the camera in auto mode , it took a blank picture. I tried different settings just to check exposures and it seemed to work . It was making progress . I tried the camera in fully auto mode and took a picture . It came out but wasn't quite right . I then looked at the mode dial where there were little pictures . I chose mountains as it is mountainous around here !
. It took a picture without complaining ! . I think I need to study the manual thoroughly to see what is going on .
I'm happy that it seems to be working !

It really annoys me when someone clearly being responsible is wrestling with their conscience, whether to go out alone in an enclosed car to a place where there is no-one else around - and would obviously not stop and get out if there were - and other b@$t@rd$ party like there was no tomorrow even after a +ve test or use public transport while coughing and sneezing all over the place.
Why not go out in the car a short distance to a very quiet place with a good view and just park up to sit in the peace and quiet for a few minutes? That would seem to be a compromise that keeps you 'enclosed' within your own bubble and not putting anyone else even remotely at risk.

It's been raining on and off all afternoon.
Looking out of the window, there are some pretty amazing / ominous looking storm clouds rolling in.

Unpacked the watch earlier. Looks really lovely, only a couple of minor scuffs to the glass, otherwise doesn't seem to have seen that much use at all. Or the person who had it took good care of it. I've wound it up, put it on, and we'll see how thigs go. Seems to be keeping good time so far.
One gripe - the clasp is very fiddly - I'm one of these daft people who is left handed and wears a watch on her left wrist.
So I'll be getting that replaced with the closed gate type that's on my Seiko. I also need to get the bracelet re-sized, as it's just a gnat's todger too big, but will wait till after the Easter hols and then get everything sorted at the same time.
