No idea what they're proselytising about, as the only placard I've been able to see just says "Time to stand up and be counted"

    Possibly anti-vaxxers or anti-maskers. If so, let's hope a lorry mounts the pavement, then we can watch them use their Facebook-derived knowledge of medicine to treat their own injuries
    *BZZZZZZZ* repetition of "placards"

      Finally remembered to make the Scotch broth, though I had to do it in the InstantPot rather than the slow cooker. Not that much of it either, as it wasn't a very big half-shoulder of lamb. But I daresay it'll be all right

        The Ministry of Health have cleared us! We are free to leave the resort ... when the weekend curfew ends at 5 am Monday morning

          The F&B manager has decided that 200 ml bottles of gin are not sufficient for our room mini bar and has brought us a full size bottle instead.

          We also informed him that tomorrow we intend to conduct an 'experiment'. In the way that Italians offer affogato as a desert, with a hard version involving grappa, we have decided we want to try their delicious coconut sorbet with a light and dark rum (two conditions) with and without the espresso (two further conditions). We would have done that today but were too stuffed from lunch.

              Best avoided in case the Feebs turn up in tanks to set them on fire.

                    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                      One does not drink scotch in the Grenadines. I'm only drinking gin because it's a by product of rum (ahem, honest) and I don't like things going to waste...
