    Just had my tesco delivery, nothing missing and no substitutes, I always ask them how things are down there, (COVID wise) he said  everyone’s fine, no staff shortages or food shortages.   They’re not wearing masks masks now.

    We have just been in Brent Cross,  quite a few non mask wearers,  but most are complying. The Apple store was shut,  Covid issues according to the chap who served us in JL.  I think there may be a lot more of this in the next few weeks.  The numbers round here are horrendous.

    A chap I used to work for observed that 'I forgot' and 'I overslept' are actually genuine excuses and they're the ones you're least likely to be allowed to get away with
    I rather think " I forgot " means that you weren't that desperate for medical treatment in the first place  ;)

    My husband says that all the time. Dignity is not the word that springs to mind - ever. I sometimes don't even get the sorry bit.
    The "sorry " bit is just an English habit - we are apparently well known for apologising at the drop of a hat - not always sincere of course but we just do it anyway.

    I think the "sorry" bit is important - "I acknowledge I wasted a bit of your short life"

    He's Irish but he's been here so long, he's probably gone native.

    A fair amount of sickness/isolation absence at work. I suspect that will increase throughout the week/month. 

    I went berserk in work today as people had left unwashed cups in the sink. A poor show at any time but during a germ-fest!!? 



    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    As a non tea drinker, I am revolted by stained cups and teaspoons used by imbibers
