How are we getting through it?

I suppose the girls were rather like a pride of lionesses, and somewhat prejudiced towards restrictions. I am afraid that whatever we do evolution will win out.

I heard a little 'segment' on the radio this morning, where a supermarket 'operative' working in Leeds, said that she, and her colleagues refer to the face-masks that a lot of people wear as ' Chin-warmers'.

Says it all.....  

Cheers - Phil.

Quite a few with none at all in Birkenhead...

I heard a little 'segment' on the radio this morning, where a supermarket 'operative' working in Leeds, said that she, and her colleagues refer to the face-masks that a lot of people wear as ' Chin-warmers'.

A colleague floated the idea of getting a mask made with the passive-aggressive message

It goes
O V E R
the nose

printed on it.

Yep, I'm constantly amazed at how many people's noses are not covered by a mask .

Pretty good in Techno tower's area.

Very few folk 'seem to refuse' wearing a mask...and they MAY have a genuine reason for not wearing one....But not all of them.

Von's just fielded a call from her Mum's care home......Two of the residents have now tested positive for Covid-19...Hey Ho !

I would never give anything but massive praise for the care home.....They've done SO well.

Maybe Von's Mum will 'get the jab' really soon......She's a tough old bird....Bless her.

Cheers - Phil.

I don't care if you have a big nose - I still wear underpants.

Watching TV last night seems the BBC are collecting spare IT kit (laptops and tablets) Now I have a spare laptop, but didn't note the URL, anyone got it ?

.......and Von got a letter from the care home today.....The two tests that showed two of the residents had Coid were 'false positives'....and now all the residents have had their first vaccinations...

That's slightly cheerier news. 

Cheers - Phil.

That is good news Phil. Luckily the school my wife works at are being really good and allowing her to stay home or work half days due to our son being CEV. Also managed to get a bike ride in for the first time in a week, just round our area and it felt so good to be doing something other than sitting at home.

I wouldn't risk cycling on the roads near where I live.

I live on the side of a hill on a rat-run between the top end of town and the bottom end of town. The road at the top end leads onto the busiest road junction this side of the city and the road at the bottom end leads onto the second busiest road in the neighbourhood.

I would need to go either up the hill or down the hill to get to the nearest cycle path. There have been several cyclist fatalities nearby.

I'll take the car as its safer.

How are we getting through it? I think this post from Reddit sums it up.
