    We've been going to the heathland round the back of the house for a daily walk since we've been on lock down. There are signs to say that there are kestrels there and skylarks, but i had never seen them previously. Until this week that is. We've now seen both the kestrel, a skylark and also a little egret. The wife and i do lots of wildlife watching trips around the world, so to have this on the back door so to speak has been great.

    Daughter #1 after going for her 1st run in approx 6 months telling me:
    1) god I feel so unfit I need to do more
    2) that each time she feels like having a smoke (fallen back, got life stresses going on) she will do 20x crunchies, sit ups, press ups instead.

    G'wan girl. I will be monitoring.

    I know who Jacques Brel is; I don't understand a word of the rest of that but it seems to be in the right thread :)

    Watching Book of Mormon albeit on a dodgy You Tube video. Nice to have a proper laugh.

    Did very much enjoy this live in January. Was near crying with laughter at a song about AIDS and baby rape.

    Exactly, seemed very apt for these times! I'm off to see it in November so hopefully we'll be back to normal then. I know the soundtrack pretty well and have performed a few of the songs but haven't seen it before.

    I do appreciate ones that I get or are funny, that's true.

    Oh please. With the wind behind it it might pass for funny, but subtle?

    Maybe we should have a poll on whether anyone finds it funny? :)

    Subtle? :D

    The first new toilet rolls in the house in 3 weeks.

    The guinea pigs look relieved.

    Well, I expect the pressure washer left them a bit raw behind.

    Looking forward to the next credit card bill.
