Gosh @pansyface good job you were quick and nimble! Get the impression you'd need to be in the outback.
That video looks really serious! Knowing how cats like to play with things I can imagine how that might have started. And thank you for your kind comment on my grandson's snake - which happily is inanimate

Thank you @chicky you are very kind, not a masterpiece but fulfils the brief and will hopefully keep him occupied for a while. His Mum is finding it difficult to shield him without worrying him, every parents nightmare to warn without scaring your children. Hoping this will be a distraction.

My biggest problem was the Eggwina Curry thing. You need to be brought up on soft boiled eggs etc to be able to enjoy them as an adult. To this day, she will only eat the white of a fried egg. The CV issues must be so much more difficult. I can also visualise that there will be bullying at school once they return.
If anyone has children who like colouring, or even adults who find it relieves stress, Johanna Basford has released free Downloads from her colouring books, so they can be printed at home.
More suited for adults who like watercolour painting, Anna Mason is also offering free step by step instructions for painting realistic pear and an anemone. Just looking at her very realistic paintings is very soothing. I really like the owl.
I tried to ring GP re script, appears phone is disconected, then pharmacy, eventually got answermachine, said if you want a repeat script, please use the app on your phone, (aint got one) for anything else leave a message, we will let back to you some time today. Left message, was rung back, told the most important item was ready, and something else which WASNT mine, went in, lady never seen her before, guessing shes a locum, couldnt find it, other one said its definitely here, because he had done it, mentioned the item that wasnt mine, said they would put a note on computer. Suppose I had been confused or dementia, or even taken it home without looking, I could have easily waited till I had run out of the tablets 2 days later, only to find I actually had the incorrect ones. I have to admit, I do always check them instore.What are the odds of 2 people with the same name living in a village 2 roads apart!!
@pansyface totally agree. The attitude here is far too relaxed. This is why we have continued death tolls and new cases. Other countries in Europe have handled things so much better. They are all getting back to relative normality now but our continued dithering and lack of guideline implementation means that the “economy first” Approach adopted by the Gov has basically caused the opposite long term financial effect. Today in a shop I see checkout staff wearing fingerless gloves! A garden centre with staff leaning over buggies. Crowds at traffic lights 1 foot apart. London is honestly a shambles. Just google London fields crowded in covid crisis — IT LOOKS LIKE GLASTONBURY.
Anybody with an education in biology and ecology will be familiar with the term homeostasis. When a organism or substance or “state” goes beyond the preferred norm an imbalance is created. It is the law of nature that this imbalance over any duration will be corrected if and when possible. Humanity (and I include myself before anybody starts pointing fingers) has become a drain on resources, taking more than it gives back to the global ecosystem. Cue natural corrective mechanism. It is blunt and insensitive To think in this way but I’m afraid it is also factually and objectively true. The widespread decrease of our negative effect on the earth is well overdue.
