My 1929 edition of the Ladybird Book of Boys says that all the boys get 2 plumstones at a certain age. I never understood it before.

I've been thinking...... dangerous I know but Mrs P is watching The Luminaries.
As all the local supermarkets had huge queues on Saturday I tried a local ASDA. Boy did they have social distancing spot on. Bright green directional arrows for the one-way system. If one tried to go the wrong way up an aisle there were two LARGE no entry signs.
I saw only two people going the wrong way and I'm sure the no entry signs had a big impact on shoppers. I saw people stop, turn round and go the right way.
Challenged one of the young men going the wrong way. He just stared at me as though he hadn't a clue.
It's not just this instance but I've already formed the opinion the shops which get my custom will be the ones which keep me safe. Tesco, Morrison's and Sainsbury haven't achieved this yet.

Social distancing ... that well know rumour .... soon to be reduced or banished all together ...
I keep my family and myself safe, i don't rely on a supermarket !
We have no fear or concern about anyone in a supermarket walking the wrong way .... we have no fear of this virus ... because we are not in an at risk group ....
If you are, look after yourself .. and rely on your own common sense .. not a supermarket...to keep you safe
As a family we have probably all had the virus ... and if not we'll get over it and get on with it.

My dad was born in 1929. It’s a shame he passed over a decade ago , otherwise I would have asked him about it . 😂😂😂😀 TBH at my age ( nearly sixty ) my plum stones are like the rest of me, in semi retirement 😂😂😂😀😀😀

Morning. Sadly we have a wet day ahead, although I think there might be a brief window before it arrives. I might just grab the hybrid and get out for a short one before it arrives.
