Good morning all fellow retirees and virus dodgers.
It's wet and windy outside.
All the usual groundhog day things to do.
I finished watching Spiral yesterday, shame there will be no more, an excellent series from across the channel.
For some reason I had to log in this morning instead of going straight into the forum? Anyone else had to do this?
Stay safe everyone

Good day persons of all genders.
Another deep sleep was had but that was aided by a few whiskies while watching Liverpool beat Spurs
.
Now.......when the auntie went into hospital (the last time) MrsD took a suitcase full of clothes, including 4 brand new pairs of slacks.
She has just been transferred to respite and 90% of the clothes are missing.
So........today we have to go to her flat and see what there is.
It is all go

Good morning people. 
Crap night, the worst one for a long time, asleep about 11:30 awake about 12:30, drinking tea and reading for about an hour, tried to sleep but couldn't, by 3 I had the munchies, 3:30 in the kitchen making a sandwich, tried to nod off again and eventually did, then awake about 7.

Good morning all, cold and wet here, much the same as yesterday. Snow almost gone from the garden.
Supermarket run shortly.
Supermarket run shortly.
Sounds horrible to me.
I know Mo doesn't sleep well.
I wonder how many people % wise suffer from this problem?
Morning all
Blimey.....is it Fish Friday already?!
Off out for a walk and a bit of shopping in a bit.
The TT races are not English races - they're Manx.

The compiler wants to get his facts right.I am getting better at this!
- Beat it; English races went ahead in rising gloom (10)... Quite tricky!
Kettledrum. You play a kettledrum by beating it. Gloom = MURK, rising = KRUM. English abbreviated to E. Races = TT (Isle of Man). Went ahead = LED. So... K-E-TT-LED-RUM
The TT races are not English races - they're Manx.
Good morning fellow reprobates, we have a supermarket delivery scheduled for today, from Waitrose no less 😎
Yesterday’s MacBook fettling was a success and kept me occupied for half an hour, I now have a machine that performs better than the “Pro” model while being completely silent 👍
On a side note, I don’t follow the news on a regular basis, perhaps once or twice a week is enough to keep abreast of the current issues. I also believe that it’s better for people’s mental health not to become immersed in the constant flow of doom and gloom. News sites tend to over dramatise and simplify issues to draw people in and rarely give the full picture.
One site I do follow is “ Ars Technica” the people who write the articles are mostly scientists with expertise in various fields. Beth Mole writes for them, she has a couple of Degrees, Music and Microbiology 😎. She’s done a couple of articles on the virus , factual and non sensational, I’ve just finished her latest which was published today. It can be a bit heavy going, but it is well worth a read.

Good day. Grey, gloomy but quite warm with no rain forecast. I feel like shite after a dreadful sleep. Bed at 10.30, 2.00 woken by Mrs P reading, went to spare room, tea at 3.00, read till 5.00, eventually dozed fitfully during which time someone seems to have attacked me with a baseball bat. 🤣🤣
Otherwise things are great. Meeting a buddy at 10.00 for a 50-60 miler which I am looking forward to.
Did you know wombat poo is square-shaped? Apparently there is one theory the wombat pats it in to shape afterwards.

Reading the previous comments its seams a number of us suffer from disrupted sleep . Mine and Mrs Jk’s sleep or lack of is due to Mum , who has memory problems and can be quite active at night. Mrs JK has a heart condition called AF so needs her sleep. I’m up now , while Mrs JK catches up on some sleep. On a positive note hope to get on the road later when SiL comes round to help and keep her mum occupied.
PaulSB I was going to comment on the how much to spend on a bike thread, but I think you have covered everything I was going to say.
