    I think there is one at my parents' house somewhere. I had two broken arms at the time so didn't have much control over the situation.

    You must have been very naughty to have had both arms broken...

    For the first couple of weeks I needed help. It happened right at the start of the summer holidays too. By the end the casts had become so soft and my arms wasted so much that I could slide the casts off but by then I had adapted to be able to do everything, I could even write by time school restarted so didn't miss any typically.

    British track cycling has been below par this year. Their meticulous planning seems to have taken into account that the Olympics will be next year.

    Quality comment.
    Seriously though. It was only a matter of time until the world caught up but we’re not even in contention in some events which is a major fall from grace.
    Mind you, as a nation, I think we proved what can be achieved with a shed load of cash even if you don’t have a population the size of Russia, US or China. I felt the medals focus had run it’s course and was starting to feel pretty tawdry. Both British cycling and canoeing embroiled in bullying scandals.
    Time to put the lottery money elsewhere.

    Be careful around New York! Wear a mask or something.

    I'm starting to feel the most rested I have in months if not years and my suspected stress fracture isn't aching whilst walking around anymore. Add on that my wife has found a massive stash of prednisolone whilst clearing out her aunt's house and I could be on for some good results when my running starts up again!

    Divorce lawyers looking forward to a bumper year.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    One of my best mates is a business insolvency specialist. He's actually scared how much work he's facing.

    One by-product of the supermarket shortages is I've bought a few ingredients not used in years. Arborio rice was the only choice they had last week. Made my first risotto in a decade the other day, and it turned out fabulous.

    Ditto. Have had more sleep these last 2 weeks than in any normal work week. This is when you start to appreciate the extra hours in the day from not commuting.

    My experience is the opposite. Wfm previously was feet up, but this last two weeks I've never done such continuous work even though no-ones physical health is at risk.

    I've been busy as hell. The house and garden will be in ship shape soon and even my old bangers are being lined up for special attention.
    One's already had a full service, detail and wax. She's looking luverly shiny innit and yet I can't drive it much.

    I've been busy that's for sure, but have had the time to do the work and have a little lie in. Can't grumble too much.

    WFH not only means that I can fully justify my bling (company) laptop, but it has actually paid for itself.

    Yay. For those without a garden, you can see the outside world for an extra hour tomorrow evening and watch nobody go by.

    The foxes can roam the urban streets and frolic to their hearts content. Hedgehogs can cross the roads. Pheasants can bask on the tarmac. I wonder what effect this will have on wildlife.
