How are we getting through it?

[Techno II]

I'm not an ampibian - I can barely swim 

Hey.....YOU can't swim ?

If you can barely swim, Ian......That's an awful lot better than me.

I only used to be able to move in the water if I had a pair of flippers to help.......I just sink....This load of poo about relaxing and 'you'll float'...absolute garbage !!
I must be made of lead.

I haven't tried swimming since I was 11 ?

Nearest I've got to swimming since then, is having a bath.

Sorry Phil, I know you don't want to hear this, but the beef was so tender and tasty, it was a pleasure to eat ! Luckily we have a very good local butcher, a few hundred yards away, that sources its meat locally and is properly hung. Their home made sausages and chipolatas are a joy, as is the bacon .

I hate you, Steve !!   

Cheers - Phil

Probably about the time the chisel slipped in his hand.

OUCH!! Just the thought makes my eyes water

At least for me This Age of Covid would  be considerably  more difficult to deal with if it wasn't for the quite wonderful 'indie' war game companies  such as Pendraken, Peter Pig, Alternative Armies and Red3

Well said.

It's the little bits of normal that keep us sane.

Not sure I was normal or sane BEFORE Covid, let alone now

SWMBO and my good self went for a lovely walk today in bright sunshine, albeit with a rather cool breeze. We were very happy to see and hear the first skylark this year and then soon after a couple of swallows by the Avon river . Simple pleasures and all that.

[Techno II]

Swallows, already ?

Good grief.....I haven't even heard a cuckoo yet..

I'll be watching the skies, Steve.

Jab 1 today.

We managed to get out to Brockholes today, saw Oyster Catchers, thrushes, bullfinch, sand martins, a buzzard, a pied wagtail, and heard a curlew.
Was fascinated to watch a pair of tree creepers down at my allotment the other day. Been too cold to plant out most of my spuds yet though!

Been back in the office this week; inducting a group of young people.

It's been a week of (a warm place). I have had to dig out my iron, and dust it off and try to remember how it worked. I've had to wear socks. I'm back to an hour travel both ways, and 'cos the day job don't stop for inductions ... the hours are piling on. Add to that IT system failures and a key speaker pulling out 30 minutes before they were due on ... and I am proper Kerry Packard. 

Walking back to the car through a crowd of drink fuelled revellers ... enjoying themselves! 

I want my lockdown back!

Jab 1 today. 

Well, Huzzah, Will !!

Seconded

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Have fun Will.......

Just been into 'town' for the first time since lockdown was ended. Seemed horribly, horribly crowded after months of relative emptiness.

Went to London on business yesterday, rammed; cars, people everywhere.

Didn't read the punctuation on that quite right to start with! Thought you had been ramming cars and people!

Yep, definitely seems much busier the last few days.
