    The bloke sat next to me on the plane was full of cold, constantly blowing his nose and sniffing so no surprise I’ve picked something up. 

    Dog tablets ordered another £56 spent plus had to order Mr SA some more pads £40.

    Hope you escape the cold.

    I've started feeling a bit off this morning while I've been at work. Can't quite put my finger on it but something isn't right. 

    Hoping it isn't Covid because we have that going around the office at the moment.

    If it is I want it now so it can be gone in time for the van festival we have booked next weekend!!

    Yes definitely a lot of covid going round at the moment and some people feeling quite ill with it. People should be more careful and the guy you sat with on the plane, should have worn a mask if he knew he was ill. Some people are just very selfish these days with illnesses. Might be worth you doing a test to make sure. Hope you feel better soon

    A bit late but I enjoyed hearing our MSE celebrity radio star.  I agree that Ryland sounds really nice and fun.
    back to reality now but hopefully the rain has stopped for a couple of days and the temperature is creeping up again.

    We seem to have had a slug population boom in our garden this year. Probably due to all the wet cool weather we have had!

    Hope you feel better soon SA - that is very kind of you to walk that trolley back to Tesco - but if you aren’t feeling well enough to do it I’m sure they would be grateful of a heads up and send someone to collect it xx

    Why would they spend money making all the changes to trolleys & trolley parks when they have lovely people like you to return their trolleys for them.  I have seen trolleys over a mile away in gardens & am sure some people push them to the supermarket then take them home with them again.

    They certainly do @badmemory we used to see it daily in the student area my office used to be in. Piled high with all manner of carp and walking down the road with it no shame
