Someone has to pay for Dido and eat out to help outI see the free laptops so that poor kids can do their homework have been cut by 80%!
Headmasters are said to be disappointed!
No meals for poor children on school holiday or off school due Covid..
Here we go again, shades of Snatcher Thatcher!
Hug is for the back and cramp but it should be a winner for the tenacity with which you deal with "issues" I very much enjoyed the porcine undercarriage touch. I also like the food even though it is meat. Hugs, prayers and hoping all goes well for MIL and your cramp and back.Good morning everyone from the continuation of the krebs cycle in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of porcine undercarriage and red cabbage with leeks clocked in at 5.6 this am - I did enjoy the apple sauce.
@Muddy Cyclist - lots of drama, great colours, hope that you can rescue it. Brilliant transformation in weight bye the way, congratulations you can now go to Hameln.
@lindisfel - great view for dinner.
@geefull - thank you and also for your thoughts regarding my SIL. A fine and delicate watercolour from you, among the fields of barley. Yep, very versatile.
@jjraak - Uber - good call - do we have such things up here in the north?
@gennepher - massive hug for your two week staycation in the 11th C - another example of those in charge unable to manage change - no, let’s call it what it is - a cluster cluck. Again, they had all week to let people and businesses know what was coming.
@RFSMarch - all the best with your physio - keep on trucking.
Seems like the young are still being highlighted as the virus spreaders - https://covid.joinzoe.com/post/young-driving-covid-cases
MIL going to hospital this morning for a scan so Mrs Miggins will be tied up for the morning. I am in Quasimodo mode - woke to double cramp (buy one - get one free) and my lower back throwing a fit. Pain relief waving from my dresser but I’m not going there - will go for a walk once I have warmed up with some koffy. Have a blast of a day if you can - lots of distraction activities. I am thankful that I do not live 20 floors up in a cramped apartment.

Sadly!@Muddy Cyclist this is what we have become far too often
A total shambles @gennepher. It is beyond belief that this was not planned properly as they had the time to do so. The saying 'couldn't organise a ***-up in a brewery springs to mind.Fbg 7.6
Why? Oh I had a midnight bowl of Keto cereal because I got starving. I am never hungry, but stress makes me hungry.
Why was I stressed? Because I was watching and reading about this shambles of Firebreak lockdown in Wales. And these photos and more like them.

It turns out that even stationary is deemed non-essential. Consequently I am unable to buy pen and paper so I can communicate as a deaf person, unable to lipread this sea of masks, or at tills and so on.
I can't even buy a clean pair of knickers when I go out now, if I urgently need to. I do have waterworks problems as many of you know. Clothes are not deemed as essential. Even baby clothes. So any new born baby today is going to have to live its first 17 days naked.
The Welsh government knew they were going to do this Firebreak at the beginning of this week, yet they have still not come up with a list of essentials to guide the supermarkets what to cordon off. There are basic necessities in addition to food.
A total shambles.
Even the bus services are drastically cut down. And they were still drastically cut down from the last lockdown. I live at the top of a very steep hill. Prior to Covid I would give an older person (a stranger) who was struggling a lift to the shops at the bottom. At the first lockdown with the reduction in buses, it made me cry to see how many older people were struggling to get down the hill, and I couldn't give them a lift.
The Welsh Government has not given any thought to any of this. They have had time because they knew this Circuit Breaker as they first called it, and then renamed it Firebreak, was coming well in advance to last night. The old, the disabled, the infirm, the vulnerable, the immune system compromised have simply been told you are on your own this time, just go out in the morning very early and you should be safe then.
Thank you @Muddy CyclistWhat have we become?
Then to add to all this Brexit Looms.
I gave you a hug but you deserve a winner for your strength to fight on.
Proper gallimaufry of posts since I last sullied forth. @gennepher hugs for the chaos in Welsh shops caused by failure to understand what essential means - maybe a quick skim read of Maslow's hierarchy of needs would help those in charge?
Congratulations @Alien Aspie6.2 this morning after a nice sleep-in.
Retired late as the US was a-buzz with the news that my newest nephew had arrived into the world. Lovely little fella at 7lb 9oz and all doing well
I agree, they had more than enough time to do so @Krystyna23040A total shambles @gennepher. It is beyond belief that this was not planned properly as they had the time to do so. The saying 'couldn't organise a ***-up in a brewery springs to mind.
So we are very similar in height, weight and sudden change . I went from 15 st 1 in June 2015 to 12 stone Nov 2015 - interesting. The shrinking part is an absolute pain - 1 cm makes massive difference in BMI and I can't afford to be below 11 S 7 Lbs. 73 kgs . @dunelm you started something with stirring my memory of the Krebs cycle (article has contribution from Jasey baby who I do so like - notSadly!
You asked my heigh in earlier post, 5' 11" but shrinking.
Off to MILs now will be even shorter on my return.
I know my son works in retail and he told me that he couldn't get the tv guide ( part of my shopping list ) because all non food areas had been roped off . Halloween stuff etc are all been sent to stores in England ! . The reasoning ( if you can call it that ) is because clothing shops and non food shops that had to close during the first lockdown complained that they lost business whilst the supermarkets made a fortune .
Beautiful scenery gennepher...I hope those men in the car were adhering to the guidelines...wise decision to head off home with your shopping.Anyway here is the panoramic photo
Best wishes for your daughters speedy recovery lindisfel.Wife contacted daughter this am, she is very unwell in bed, but we hope and pray she improves over next week. Many thanks for all your good wishes.

Me tooSo pleased that we had our flu jabs at our local pharmacy this afternoon. A very pleasant experience - I much prefer the pharmacy to the gp's surgery.
Er, no, the six foot distancing didn't come into it at all with them...no masks either...Beautiful scenery gennepher...I hope those men in the car were adhering to the guidelines...wise decision to head off home with your shopping.
