today i did something i didnt know i'd have the strength to do. the wife came down and couldnt believe i had done it (or got through actually)....

but as of tomorrow, we'll no longer have sky sports. the extra £35 a month i save already spent on strawberry plants and tomato and chilli seeds.

@The mighty Elfsborg almost did the same with his Pornhub subscription.

Reactions: Sat In Greenwich
Took a walk around the local parks in SE7 today.
Only saw a few other people, but exchanged a 'good morning' with every one of them.

I've never done that before.
Never even paused to think about exchanging greetings with other people on a sunny Spring morning :emoticon-0157-sun:
Not out of rudeness, just somehow it never seemed important before. Always other (trivial) things on my mind I guess.
Just walked on by, as they did.

It was nice just to say a passing hello to a few folks instead.
 
JUst got an e-mail from my homebrew mail order company to say they are not taking any more orders due to a surge in demand. I'm alright Jack, received a large order yesterday<cheers>
 
Yes, a surprising number of people seem to think that we are having some kind of National Holiday.
A little bit of good weather, and suddenly folks take day trips to popular tourist spots.

Some might say 'it's a last hurrah before we isolate' (like those dummies on Bondi Beach yesterday).
As if the Virus will just lay off for the weekend out of a sense of decency.

Some of those tourists will have picked up the virus, or spread it to others.
When their elderly loved ones die, perhaps they'll regret behaving so selfishly.
 
I don't know whether my daughter has a mild case of the virus or a really nasty cold and bronchitis. Could be either but we're a long way off being able to test for the antibodies.
