This is an island for godsake - easy to close down. Like NZ. But we did nothing but dither.

That's because we don't have a Jacinda Ardern, we have a Doris, whe thinks the economy is far more important than plebs.

 I wore the face mask that we bought for the first time, I feel like it was a failed attempt as couldn't cope with it, I was hot and sweaty as we were running late and because of this is stuck to my face and I felt as if I was being suffocated, I think cotton may be the way forward for me not shiny synthetic fibre.

I have various fabric coverings and find some of them difficult - especially as I have a lung condition and my breathing is impaired. At first I resisted the 'shaped' masks as I think they look like bra cups but I have since got some plain white p2s which don't look like bras . You might find you do better with a shaped one (that stands proud of the face) as well.

Three words.  Dried egg powder

Or pickled eggs? I love pickled eggs!

Pickled eggs are tasty Pinapple, but not much good if you want to do a Yorkshire pudding with your dinner.  
Goes off to add pickled eggs to shopping list...…...

I saw a jokey meme online many weeks ago about making face masks out of bras. It said you should only use the left hand bra cup otherwise you could end up looking like a right t*t.

I'll quit while I'm ahead....

 ... I've had more non-sealed jars due to knocking them whilst removing them from the canner than from failure to tighten them properly.

Finding it a bit difficult to understand how you knock them lifting them out.  I take it you use a lifter-outer?

I do, however, the extractor fan makes the job a lot more difficult as I can't lift them straight up to get clear of the canner. 

I've developed a sort of 'lift and cradle' maneuver with a tea-towel so it doesn't knock the sides
