Waitrose do a lovely breakfast.......

Petits saucissons, medaillons de jambon grillés avec  les oeufs en bousculade ( ), tout sur un lit des haricots au jus de tomate.

(Ducks behind magazine stand of “The Lady” and “Horse and Hound”).

Now you're just taking the Mick. You just want me to waste 20 minutes googling those

Nah, she's just showing off, having consumed a portion of bangers, grilled pig and scrambled egg stacked on top of  a dollop of baked beans

For any NP that likes Prosecco, I picked up a new (to me) product in W. 

It’s a sparkling white wine in a can, grown and made in Britain, Surrey, to be exact.
i was expecting it to be a bit urgh, or to be too sweet or something, but it’s actually not bad, and compares very well to a standard dry Prosecco.
It is 11.5% alc vol.



It’s called The Uncommon (wine of England). The can doesn’t say Prosecco, just “Bubbly White”, but it’s right next to the little individual bottles of Prosecco. The company, We Are The Uncommon Ltd., was a start-up a couple of years ago, I believe. They say that using cans means the wine chills faster, and because the can is very light, its carbon footprint is a lot less than glass, plus it can be endlessly recycled.

(I don’t really like wine, but every now and again I fancy a little bit of Prosecco).

There are some very good English wines around.
Some years ago, for some reason, there were a bunch of French producers being wined and dined at Downing Street. When one particular wine was served they tasted it, liked it and spend some time arguing as to which french vineyard had produced it, whether it was from the east or west side of the hill, etc., etc.
They were somewhat stunned to discover that it actually came from the south side of a hill - in Hampshire ;-)

Concerning coronavirus...
As I'm sure the regulars here know, I have ME/CFS. Just making sure any lurkers here know. 
I thought you might like to take a look at a thread on a Forum I'm a member of. I particularly suggest you take a look at the posts on this thread by Prof Jonathan Edwards. Some other contributors are maybe a little less then helpful.    But also some others are useful too - we are some of the chronically ill who might want to particularly avoid this virus!

Humans have a built-in sense of "it won't happen to me". 
Most will even be 'surprised' when aged parents die.... aged 90-105... they will still occasionally think "how/why did that happen?"

Thanks, Maggie. There was some interesting info on there.

I had to smile, though, when, in the mini-discussion about possible compulsory isolation, one of the posters quipped wryly:

“”Not being able to go out and no interacting with people for 2 weeks, with basic needs met?
Seems pretty normal to me and probably for a lot of people on this forum.”
