Morning all, it's 4/21 for me today

Morning, 4/30 for me today thank you. Did food shopping first thing this morning and instead of alcohol I picked up some posh bottles of tonic water and ginger beer, these are in the fridge and will be used to make some (very basic) mocktails later this evening.

Season of Mist, I keep a stash of ginger beer - nothing is better in the evenings than a cold glass of ginger beer with a squeeze of lime in it, in winter or summer.

I’m on 3/19 for me please?

Shaggy, I know with the migration to this new forum, we lost a few people. But given the C19 situation have most people still been checking in?  It occurred to me we may not find out if anyone sadly gets affected. 😢

We lost quite a few people in the site revamp, not just here but on MSE generally. It seems like a small thing now that coronavirus has run over everything like a tank but the migration was really disruptive. I hope people come back.

Agreed. I'm sorry we're missing people from this thread as it's really helpful at the moment.  

What's worse though is that some of the elderly people who used to post on other threads are missing just when they could have done with their virtual friends to help them through isolation. The migration has been chaotic and couldn't have come at a worse time.

Yes, it was absolutely dreadful timing, though obviously they couldn't have known that, but in retrospect holding off really would have been a good idea.
