    Was just about the ask about Punkdoc, as the forum was "down" for so long, I gave up trying to log on in the end. Am glad you are home, looking seems you were in hospital from the 10th to the 17th. I think apart from everything else, pain from op, the virus, GAs make you feel weepy and depressed, and delicate.Ā  I often feel I am wasting my time and my life at the moment, dont seem to be "doing" anything.Ā  I am doing the normal stuff, baking,housework,shopping, (food,plants) gardening of course, a huge ammount of watering, I dont "do" McDonalds, costa coffee, cannot imagine anyone queueing all day, not a bit interested in going clothes shopping, a friend of mine went and complained you couldnt "touch" anything,try anything on.Ā  I hate trying on clothes in stores, I am a size 10 and those mirrors make me look like a beached whale, C & A s were the worst, convex things. I suppose the beauty of not going out, dont need any new clothes. Not even bothered about the hairdresser, have got used to the new length

    Good morning all 😊 ā˜•ļøĀ 
    it’s a glorious morning ... sunshine and birdsong ... so far anyway ...Ā 
    I slept like a log ... that’s what comes of being back in the studio after a long gap ... concentrating can be exhausting.Ā 
    Today there’s bread to be made this morning, and I think there’s some fresh cod in the freezer ... that’ll be good with broad beans from the garden and parsley mash šŸ˜‹ once that’s all prepped I’ll be in the studio again ... don’t think there’s any watering to be done today ... just a lot of saucers and gravel trays to empty. Ā Bro said they had 22mm of rain overnight Wednesday/thurs ... I wouldn’t be surprised if we’d had even more šŸ›¶ certainly the butts are full again.Ā 

    Gardening in Central NorfolkĀ on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Hi all

    Certainly not portrayed in the film, I was very much in the background, trying to provide some advice, as I was one of the few people who had actually seen people who had been poisoned by similar agents.

    Drinking real coffee again, has been a great joy, the dish water served in hospitals did not help me get better.

    @punkdoc I have watched the first episode of The Salisbury Poisonings and am looking forward to the next episodes.Ā  I also saw the interview on This Morning earlier in the week.Ā  You must feel better being at home in your own environment - glad for you.Ā Ā 

    Good morning to you all.Ā  The sun didn't stay long yesterday but came hot and strong at around 4pm.Ā  This morning is bright and still - need to chuck some sulphur powder on my vines before the wind gets up. (Father-in-law's orders - he is a vigneron).Ā Ā 
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    Morning all.Ā 

    Glad you're enjoying your coffee @punkdoc, V glad you're back in the studio @Dovefromabove.

    More rain overnight. Itching to walk down to the lake to see where the level is.Ā 

    Totally agree with @Obelixx. Hopefully folk will realise that binmen and supermarket staff are really MUCH more important to us all living our livesĀ  than footballers , pop stars and other so called " celebrities ".

    Maybe those who constantly knock the NHS might even have a rethink.

    I sincerely hope that parents who are "home schooling" will now give teachers the recognition and appreciation they really need.

    Apple - We will make a free track and trace system.
    Google - We will help, then it will works across 99 percent of phones. Should be ready by May.
    UK govt - No, We'll make our own version.
    Apple and Google - You'd need our help.
    Uk govt. - No we don't, Dom's mate says he can do it.
    Apple and Google - Off you go then.
    Dom's mate - Can I have your propriety code.
    Apple and Google - Hahahaha. No.
    Dom's mate - Why not?
    Apple and Google - Because your system breaches international privacy laws by ripping peoples contact data and storing it on your servers so you can use or sell it later.
    Public - It does? Fuck that!
    Hancock - Our world beating system is up and running, at a cost of only £120,000,000
    NHS - No it's not.
    Hancock - We have hit a snag.
    Public - Whats that?
    Hancock - It doesn't work on iPhones. Or Android. And nobody wants to download it.
    Whole world - Really...?

    Morning everyone, Lovely to see the sun this morning at long last. There's nothing like a proper cup of coffee is there @punkdoc to make you feel so much better. We have turned the irrigation system back on the raised veg beds - it has been turned off for the last two weeks, due to all the rain. Temps due to be in the 30's next week so will waft some up your way @Hostafan1. Must get a shift on now and go and post a birthday card.

    Love your dialogue @Hostafan1 🤣. So true.  But you missed out the bit about the last time the NHS tried to create their own IT system 😱.

    Rain has stopped here, so we are off to Chichester for a walk by the sea. Ā Very grateful that most of the things I enjoy doing in ā€œnormalā€ life are outside šŸ‘šŸ».

    Garden visit yesterday was soggy but beautiful. Ā Great to catch up with friends too šŸ¤“šŸ„³

    I remember the last time the NHS tried to create an IT system as well @chicky and when I heard about this one, I said to Moira, "that will be a waste of millions of pounds, with no end result. "
