Spooky

If I'd even searched for it there'd be some explanation at least.

Are they aware you're supposed to be under lockdown?

Daily Exercise!

Daily Exercise!

The extent to which they're shuffling you around though? Exercise in Machynlleth, shopping in ???, collecting supplies for a vulnerable neighbour in ???, and working in ??? All in one day? I fear Google's jeopardising your safety

I can prove where I've been, and where I haven't.

Better than google can.

I have been wearing one of Mrs P's dresses today. A rather fetching shade of mid to deep blue..................🤫

...............I've also been standing on a chair. 🤔

Onions are all planted. Having a brew in the shed and then I'll tidy it out.

Clearly we have no dressmakers in the house. She was having trouble getting the hem straight so I had to put the dress on while Mrs P pinned the hem.

I hope none of you had other ideas.

It's 5.02 and I'm bored already

I'm up and about too. Daylight just coming in so I'll head out soon for a walk.

Mornin' all, and it's looking like a cracker out there ☀

Good morning. Mood has lifted a touch. I still have little to do but don't feel bored. It's a beautiful morning, skies are clear and the sun is up. Slight breeze. Bike out at 9.00.

I didn't really enjoy last night's online quiz with friends. We try to design our questions so if one doesn't know the answer there is a possibility of working it out. Our friends seem to mainly use questions with a definitive answer, either you know it or don't. For example:

Me: "Which South American country has ten land borders?'

Friend "What is a nosocomial infection and where does the word come from?"

The answer to the origin of the word is Greek. Now being a bit of a pedant I managed to force a point out of this. The word nosocomial is an adjective and describes the type of infection. Therefore the root of the word is nosocomia.

I knew this wasnt the intended answer but it was a bit of revenge which raised a laugh. 😄

Moving on to serious matters. I'm running out of porridge oats. I usually buy Kavanagh's from ALDI but it's been out of stock for weeks. Makes delicious porridge.

I know we have porridge conniseurs in here. Recommendations please.

I am glad I am not in yoir quiz group. I would not have a scooby doo.
