    Well at least there should be a large downturn in the numbers of people getting a cold or flu due to the lockdown and keeping at least 6ft apart rule.  Plus, hopefully, fewer road accidents.

    Well at least........I've finally  learned how to use my phone properly, including setting up a Zoom app which allows me to talk to, and see, my Grandchildren for the first time in 2 weeks :)
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    Got some chocolates here, expired June, 1999. Do you feel lucky ?
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    I'll have them if you don't want them! Local Coop didn't have our favourite chocolate today. :-(

    Well . . . at least my teenagers are doing their college work beyond what I had hoped for and with no nagging! Not sure if it's boredom or wanting to show their tutors what they are capable of but either way I am proud of them.
