Eating celeriac soup.

It's surprisingly edible.

Given that you cooked it - indeed....

Trying to think of more drivel to add

How is HWMBO getting on?

I’m thinking of phoning my order in to the Chinese tonight, thereby breaking a long-standing tradition. I’m assuming they’re still OK with me rocking up to collect the stuff, but maybe it would be sensible (for both them and me) to not hang around in there for the seven or eight minutes it usually takes to put my order together

They always seem to say phone orders will take half-an-hour (from the many times I’ve overheard their end of the conversation), so I’ll need to do it earlier than I usually go there.

Not sure if the Co-op will still be open at that time, but I could risk popping in there on the way if it is.

The world is about to end!

Apparently not. They're closing at 8pm now: Co-op food updates on coronavirus - Co-op

Ours is not 7am to 8pm instead of 6am to 11pm. Staff shortages apparently.

Clocks go forward 1 hr at 1am

Not that iot makes much difference at the moment...

We now have a steel plated shed. Its quite fun trying to put roofing sheets on when the wind is >20 mph.

Beer started!

'not' bourbon biscuits (not sure why they aren't) cooled and filled. looking forward to them after a chicken curry.

My mate on Anglessey put up a new shed recently. The roof lasted about 3 weeks. He lives in a valley where the wind whips through...

just watched my partner crying her eyes out with exhaustion on skype.
i can't even go down there and hug her FFS!
this whole thing is a krock of krap!
she's been left alone with the addled one.
all the carers are withdrawn.
and i'm supposed to give a flying f**k about royals and richpig torys!
bolloks to the lot of them!

I really want to go out and punch something 'till my arms get tired.

and i'm a drummer, so that takes time.

feck it, glenmorangie time.

It's lie! The Chinese my parents use always say "15 minutes" for phone in orders irrespective of how busy they are. If you called it in and took a slow toddle down there I bet you won't be waiting for too long and you can always do that outside if you wrap up warm.

How is HWMBO getting on?

He's doing ok thank you.

It's his eldest's 16th birthday next week and they're upset that things aren't quite going to plan. He's going to still be self isolating as it was agreed with his ex that the kids are the people most likely to be harbouring lurgy from school so they need to be kept away for two weeks.

He's grumpy that he's having hour long telephone conversations with family every day and being called upon for all kinds of remote computer support. He'd much rather be playing Octopath on the Switch.
