No bread to be found again in Croydon for the third day in a row.
Looks like I'll be digging out a soda bread recipe.

I had croque Monsieur for lunch. Slightly stale bread to avoid using the fresh.
Beef olives for dinner.
Currently listening to the mix DJ Harvey put on Bandcamp.
Hopefully some TV, games & booze tonight and not just C19 dread.

Are...are you kidnapping random children? But keeping tabs on their parents. At first I assumed it was Sheep talking about his whisky dungeon. I would not have a 5 year-old whisky. I a m not a whisky paedo. I very strongly believe the age of consent for whisky is a minimum of 10. I occasionally have a no age statement, but it said it was of age. |

I came straight home after work instead of going to the pub, and I am now filled with regret. I could have been filled with beer. That would be better.

Mammal who Tolerates me is in the pub. I have her two children at home.
I'm beginning to see why she tolerates me.
She's going to catch Coronavirus and give it to me, isn't she?

Just what you want in a global pandemic...
The door to door cake seller girl.
"it's the last time I'll be round in a while.." she tells me. Will it love, ok then.
Folk are.going to the pub? Fucks sake. In saying that I've bought coffee every day this week apart from today.

I'm running very low on beer, wine and gin and soon might have to resort to the bottle of Glenfiddich I won in a raffle 5 years ago. I don't like whisky.

Yeah, the large local WhatsApp group I'm in seemed to largely be of a mind that mass-congregation in the pub was what was required. I imagine similar scenes will be playing our across the country. I'm not convinced this is ok. Our tiny backwater town is probably fairly low risk at least.
It's almost like either a) the government is incompetent, or 2) the government actions so far are actually designed to create confusion and allow the virus to spread.
To be clear, Mammal who Tolerates me was with her sister in what was a very quiet pub when they turned up.

Crank there, trying to make me feel worse about shit.
Fair play, it's a strong move.

From lunchtime today: "...it took a lot of willpower not to go into my local pub or in our favourite restaurant for me to have a large glass of wine, tea and cake* for her.".
I now feel smug tinged with sadness and regret.
Also Pref.Mam. made me march down to the gym to "pick up a shirt" along with other sundries, popped into Iceland to get more snacks and some tinned beer, empty shelves everywhere, managed to get some Stilton, at this rate will have enough ingredients for a whole meal this time next week.
<edit>*The Pref.Mam. would have quickly moved on to wine if we'd stayed, which we would have done, which to be honest was the main reason we didn't go in.

There's a bakers down on the Brighton road near the Tesco's that might have, go past the library towards the old Swan and sugar loaf, you can google map it to sure where it is. I know this 'cause I grabbed a couple from them the other day! Yes open Saturday.. OTTM: killed all my binge watching, twiddling thumbs now. (I wish I had an Xbox) - dear Santa.. |
