I ate an apple from the farm shop earlier, and wondered aloud "how many hands touched this before I shoved it in my gaping maw?"
So that's how I'll probably get it.

"Andy Carter, a Conservative, asks for an assurance that the government will do all it can to save lives."
"Yes, says Johnson."

How will I get it? Well, one of my beloved granddaughters has come down with a fever.
This is where social distancing kicks in. Hey, I barely know the sprog.

Oh, and Happy Birthday, WeeCooper ! DQB2 update: not much time for it, mainly getting frustrated by the 'different tiles' tablet target. Right at the end I found someone with a chart on Reddit who at least uses the game's official English terminology. The list I've been working with must have been compiled from the Japanese version without knowledge of the actual localisation, so you get confusing things like 'cobblestone' instead of 'flagstone' and 'castle' instead of 'citadel'. A lot of contradictory views about whether or not one can remove those tiles once they've registered. I'm just glad that I'm on the Switch instead of the PS4 which has the achievement system on top of the in-game one with some very difficult tasks. As much as I would like a PS5 (watching the stream later today!), my completionist tendencies should not be fed by trophies. OTTM: talked to my sister-in-law who works in a hospital lab. She says she'll go into work as usual until she has symptoms (she will be the same age as Chumbles this summer). This is all a bit freaky. |

And 2 weeks running my Tesco delivery (I take it in with disposable gloves - the delivery driver has none, Tesco's care for its staff is unrivalled 🤣) has arrived sans rouleaux de papier toilette. I hope that their overnight closure will actually stop selfish bastards nicking every last fucking one they see... Otherwise I will have to resort to my grandfather's trick of using torn up newspapers. TBH, in the '50s IZAL hard, shiny loo paper was the unforgiving norm and his alternative was much kinder on the arse. But his outside lav, in the cold, dead of Winter was a place of dreadful horror to a tiny 7 year old... a bare light bulb, dark cobwebbed corners, fucking HUGE spiders traversing the webs slowly trying to decide whether to scuttle away or to try and eat you... Hell's bells, I've just remembered the enforced "It'll make a man of you boy" Scout Pathfinder badge where we were required to travel 10 miles, make a bivouac, dig a hole with what looked like a metal equivalent of a stone age mattock, find grass, take a dump and then wipe your arse clean with said verdure. Typically, by the time you'd arrived at your destination having found and deciphered arcane clues in that mapless, rain soaked trek, you would have to do all this in near darkness. To cap it all, even when you'd got yourself, still damp, into your sleeping bag, in the bivouac and got off to sleep, some cunt of an examiner would arrive in the small hours with a searchlight to find and check on you. They'd also dig up the hole to check you'd used grass and not an illicit bog roll. I swear one or two of them would liked to have checked my backside. I'm no fucking Ray Mears!** **Edit: If I were Scottish, that would be "I'm no' fucking Ray Mears!" |

You need to wash your apple while singing 'Happy Birthday ( WeeCooper)' twice. In fact, the virus is probably heartily sick of hearing that song. |

My ISP e-mailed me this morning to say that the new router has been posted today and will be delivered in 3-5 days. Great, I'll go shopping. Mr Tids returns to find that the postie was unable to deliver said router because I was out.
I am not impressed.

Have been trying to spend a bunch of cash at small businesses this week, yesterday I managed to spend £25 on bread and pastries at the wee boulangerie nearby, £50 at bikeshop, £10 at african falafel place and £35 at the pub.
My Mother keeps telling me its better to be bankrupt than dead and I should stop working, touching my face, drinking, eating sugary foods etc. Given that she and her preferred Mammal probably smoke around 60 fags between them on a normal day with plenty of various other maladies, Im finding that advice a bit irritating.

Glastonbury cancelled this year. Take that hippies! First time in 10 years hadn't managed to get a ticket so I was pretty happy about this until I noticed they roll over to next year. |

Almost 400,000 people watching the PS5 stuff, thankfully no whooping/screaming idiots.
