Correct The faggots we get are square.How ever I’d o like Ikeas meat balls

To my knowledge they are very different.
Mr Google says........

faggots are offal (liver etc) wrapped in pig's gut lining. Meatballs contain, err, meat. Not necessarily offal, most meat can be/is used and you can also use lambs's caul rather than pig. And they're great.

There are a lot of outlets selling masks and a lot of money to be made from them , some cowboys and chancers too . Some are fashion statements designer masks !!. Saw a guy entering a shop in a racing dinosaur costume when all this mask stuff kicked off a few months ago , you gotta have a laugh

Our son is an Adidas snob. He has just bought Adidas face masks which I think are about 15 quid each .

Square faggots? Square faggots are not faggots.

Yes, indeed, there is a woman I know, who has spent her whole life thinking up "money making idea", which have not "made money". She is a hard worker, just somehow, lacks the money making gene. She is currently on the face mask band wagon, not in a bad way.

The weather forecast says sunny intervals and light clouds.
It's getting dark , it looks like the wet stuff is on the way

Back from the fortnightly Sainsbury’s shop. Pleased to report that absolutely everyone I saw was wearing a mask and wearing it properly
But then we’ve all had several weeks of practice here.

I feel it is now appropriate to make a more formal appearance - one shouldn't be too sloppy and casual about these things. Good Morning to you all. Looks like a greyish, cool day with some sun is heading our way.

Today is a walking day. I look forward to these but this one will be the first serious test of my calf strain from weeks ago. I've done some flat, towpath walking but nothing more. So the picnic is packed - the picnic is as important to a walk as the cafe stop to a ride!! Lovingly crafted barm cakes, mini Melton Mowbray pie, boiled egg, crisps and an Aldi caramel wafer bar. A flask of coffee will be prepared five minutes before departure.

We are crossing the border today. Passport is up to date, visa acquired as we head to the very beautiful Malham area. I'll wave to @classic33 if I see him. We will bring all our rubbish home for the very excellent Lancashire refuse service to deal with!!!!!

Up to date on yer shots. Don't want you bringing anything over 'Pennines, this way.

Bribe the border guards at yer peril.

Yes a mask, so nobody saw it was me

Just reading a great story about round the world cyclist Mark Beaumont and his 6 year old daughter, they’ve just completed a 506 mile lockdown challenge to run/cycle respectively every street in Edinburgh, took them 67 days, an hour at a time. He ran, she cycled alongside on the pavement. Chapeau!
