Also, no surprise, the Sunday Times Wine Festival has been cancelled, shame as I was looking forward to it.
Though they gave us a choice of a straight refund or credit with and extra £20 on top, I went for that.

Went for short walk to Lidl as Pref. Mam. has been inside for 9 days with a cough, now better, and obvs there wasn't any loo rolls, pasta or flour*. Looked at receipt only food we got were veg, milk and some peppered mackerel, did manage to buy Pinot Noir, Rosé Rioja, peanut brittle, Tunnocks caramel wafers, custard creams and a large milky bar. Still haven't got a handle on panic buying. *Are people baking now? <edit>I suppose they could be making Pasta. If you can't buy bread, at least you can try and bake some. And flour keeps for longer anyway. |

You can make a good pizza base with yogurt and flour.

You can make a good pizza base with yogurt and flour. We make those with strong bread flour, dried yeast and a little olive oil. 500g makes 4 bases of which you can freeze 2 for later use also store bought pitta bread is pretty versatile. |

My partner is quite successful with unleavened breads though - she bakes a cracking naan, for instance. |

(btw, those materials you mention that are missing to complete your blueprint only become available after you finish the story) Ah, thanks for that! Looks like I'll have to hold onto the blueprint for continued-building post-story. That's a great castle by the way. I need to give mine some attention! And congratulations on the 5K. |

Afternoon 'boxers. All set up to WFH, unfortunately since every line of my job description begins with 'monitor' there won't be much worving to be be done.
Caught her last year with her Folkensange set, threw in some Scottish classics too. Mesmerising stuff.

All of Babyfarks top three kills are basically him shooting people who haven't seen him in the back. Pro strats there. Top banana.
Another fun moment - I threw a Molotov cocktail right onto someones head from the top of a building while they were walking by below with their teammates, shot them a few times but didn't down them, then ran way before they had a chance to shoot back. Honourable play of the week?

I was just clearing out my email inbox and I remembered that 2019 was once a thing. Who remembers 2019? God, it was the best. Glory days.

Nursey's been and gone. Praise be she is a returnee* and as close to a friend as this kind of relationship permits. I had to chase her onto the next patent as my vertigo is apparently accompanied by my going paper white. I had to explain that morphine only masks the pain - standing up sends the blood back down to my arterial ulcers in time for those to bellyache about how they hate being scrubbed with the equivalent of paper sandpaper. As I said to Nursey, you just have to get on with it.
I'm going to continue to sleep through the bit where the pain is here and the morphine is not. I'll be honest, it's much easier to get through treatment and its aftermath without anyone else around.

All pubs and bars in the Republic of Ireland have been ordered to close from Sunday evening to tackle the Covid-19 outbreak.
Just ahead of St Patrick's Day then. Should be a popular move.

Biscuit: Hobnobs. Especially broken up and mixed with greek* yoghurt or full fat Activia yoghurt ... * Destry and tenthenemy : my instinct is that should be lower case as it's a style of yoghurt and doesn't necessarily come from Greece? |
