Going out for a walk before it gets too crowded. Hopefully!

OK I am weird. A friend once said that she and I were not in any way what you could describe as conventional (in my case I wonder why?  

The repeat posts on here are from people who "get" the current situation.  We seem to be in a peculiar minority.

More stirfrys please....

I’ve just had a lovely shower! 
All clean now!

I didn’t dawdle because I have two parcels on order (not food!) but no idea when they’ll come, and was relieved when I had de-soaped etc. and was in my bathrobe. 
True to Sod’s law, though, the doorbell did ring and it was one of the parcels, so the next ten minutes were spent gloved up, opening the boxes and getting the Epson inks out, then more washing of hands.

Why oh why were the inks each individually glued to an inner cardboard box? With glue so strong that it could have held the Incredible Hulk hanging from a crane?
I could hardly get them off!

Great minds think alike. I had a shower this morning. I don't have that many because why bother if you are going to get dry skin afterwards and it is not as if I have anywhere important to be? 

Anyway I never get smelly only other people do that.

The shower was a success.

I didn't fall over in it.

I have had to cancel my hairdresser for the foreseeable, so not only will I have massive roots at the end of all this, but doing the straightening myself will be a nightmare....very thick hair and poorly wrists! I can’t let it curl as the style is all wrong for that, and it would turn into a frizzy bush.

I might have to improvise.

At least it's not just you; thousands are having to go without. 
With everybody else going without it'll make my mess normal

Nowt wrong with a frizzy bush, I don't understand this desire to remove all the hair.
Day 1 of é kids off school and no going out. The two with school work are being fairly compliant. The one with nothing as GCSE year is wasting time. Other schools are setting work or revision and saying performance now will be part of the actual grade assessment, our school is saying do nowt as the learning part of the course is finished. Surely the pre final exam revision is a vital part of knowledge consolidation so that come a level, degree or later life the learning can actually be retained and recalled?

Edit..
Actually, I might try putting some Curly Locks cream on it and see what it looks like sort of curly. It ‘s not layered to curl, though.
I still have some Curly Locks from my au naturel days, but as luck would have it, I gave away about 8 tubes only a few weeks ago! 
This always happens to a semi-hoarder! 

More loi de sodde.

I was thinking. YES!!! Now I don't have the bother of having to get an appointment. Have someone pull my hair which is painful and I don't have to stress about boring conversations when I would rather be quiet. They probably think I am rude.

As long as I can see and it doesn't take all day to dry when I get out of the shower I don't care what it looks like. It is my hair and generally I can't see it.  Other people can keep their opinions to themselves about it. I don't care.

Would he/she comply with you setting some sort of ‘revision’ regime? Do you have any past papers he/she could do under  exam conditions?
