I just wish we would give a certain topic a rest now. Just as I think we're done with it, up it comes again like one of the undead in a horror movie

IGNORE-ance is Bliss! Now I have worked out how to do it after all these years.

The green stripe was only on the rind, GQ. We had several of them, 7 or 8, on 3 plants & they all came out the same. Very nice too! Hoping for something edible from the Sons-of-a-Turk's-Turban too; I've just en-souped some more of the parent - frozen in portions after roasting - and it really was delicious.

Is anyone else a little perplexed by the Health Secretary's use of statistics today? I'll swear he said that quarantine is statistically most useful when the numbers are low; that stands to reason, but surely it'd be better applied when the numbers are low before the main outbreak, not afterwards? Or am I just being dense? Wouldn't be the first time!

No you are not being dense. We can't  understand  it either.

The man's an utter moron, you'd get more sense out of the average pre-schooler. The idiocy of putting 66 million people on lockdown while allowing about 15K folk to fly into the country from corona-stricken countries every.single.day for week after week after week. It's enough to make a cat laugh.

Just been watching Vernon Coleman discussing how we'll have to use the dentist now.

Please God it's not like this for ever. (I have a chipped tooth.)

I am going to the dentist tomorrow. Mr. Coleman is right. I have one of the early appointments because I've had an abcess. The dentist has done telephone triage and 5 should get another questionnaire today. They already know that I've got Hay fever.  I have to arrive masked, ring and will be fetched from the car. I will have my temperature taken, then have to wash hands,  I can't tell what the dentist will do but suspect that I may have to lose the tooth.  Before any treatment, I will have to use a special mouthwash, wear goggles and a bib. After treatment I have to use hand sanitiser and go home and pay remotely. I am dreading it but have been in rather a lot of pain so heigh ho.

Hope you get some relief ancientofdays. I understand abscesses are dreadfully painful!

I also have a filling repair needed.My appointment was cancelled in April and rebooked for August . Last week the dentist called me and I am being seen today! I have to call from the car park and wait to be called in.
