Morning all

Yet another day on planet lockdown.
What to do today?
Go for a walk, watch a film, have dinner, go to bed?
Or, go to bed, have dinner, watch a film, go for a walk?

I was told similar to that back in the 70s by a guy who had lived there for a few years. Apparently he was told that even if knock a black person over you do not stop.
On a related note.....in the 80s I was asked to visit iran for work.... I declined the offer

My son [He has been everywhere] worked in Iran for 6 months down at the Gulf of Hormuz [not to sure of the spelling without looking it up] Once he got accommodation issues sorted there were no problems and he got on well with the locals. Said tho' he never wanted to see chicken and rice ever again.
The main thing to beware of was not fly with Iranian Scareways as they were called. Tehran he was under scrutiny by the secret police but he was only there for a few days.
Now Libya is another story but not now.

Grey cold start to the day here.
Mo the advice to ring 111 if your wrist is not improved is a good idea. They can sometimes take a while to get back to you as weekends are busy usually so do it early and they used to get a doctor to come to you if needed. This may not happen due to the virus but better safe than sorry.

"Drink more tea" and take Vitamin D !!!

Having listened to quite a few doctors and scientists on the radio recently, it would seem that as long as you eat a balanced healthy diet, vitamin D is the only supplement that should be needed.

Right! Decision made!
I'm going to get up, go for a walk, watch a film them go to bed............or...........get up, go for a walk, watch a film, have dinner and then go to bed.
I think........

Oh, I haven't had lamb shank in so long. I must go to the farm shop today!!!

Thanks for reminding me. Love them.

Good day. An absolute belting frost last night. Greyish and very cold out.

@Mo1959 how goes it? @dave r how is Mrs D? @Dave7 and how goes it with aunty? This list is getting too long. ☹️

Went to bed early, slept till 4.00, woke for an hour then slept again. Feeling very good..

Best news in ages as No. 2 son gets his jab as a vulnerable person on February 6th and the carer staff on February 6th.

I plan a decent walk today, a spot of tidying and have household admin to do.

All round I feel pretty chipper. Off to do my morning stretches.

 

[Dirk]

Where's @screenman ?
He hasn't been seen for 3 weeks.
Hope nothing has happened.

An interesting start to the day.
Up before 0600.....had a beverage and was back in bed by 0800.
Just got up and we were both hungry for the 1st time in months ......so ....MrsD had this weird idea of ginger cake with custard. Strangely, it was enjoyable
A chill day. Golf and footy on tv.
