    I watched a bit of PMs questions today. One benefit of lockdown is we don't have to listen to a bunch of baying drunks , MPs can get their questions out and the PM,should he choose to, can give his answers without interruption.Ā  Johnson looked ill at ease in this situation.

    I’m afraid that one of Boffle’s main talents is rabble-rousing ... lucidity and logic escape him.Ā

    Tonight's endorsement for contraception comes courtesy of my youngest boy again who was obviously keen to demonstrate his versatility in producing bodily fluids before bedtime by tripping over his own feet and landing face first on the hard floor (right between the thickly padded soft toys he was clutching in either hand) and generously handing around a remarkable amount of blood and snot from his nose and split lip. I'm sure my wife had an affair with a crash test dummy to produce that one. :| Ā

    Bless him more than the other one who kept me up until 3am :|Ā  Quick calendar check confirms it's the full moon and the curse of the werebaby strikes again.

    I've just been putting the recycling out. All clean, sorted and crushed as small as possible, paper labels removed from cans and bottle to be recycled separately etc. All hopefully contributing to Wales's 65% plus recycling rate which is now above the targets it was set to reach by now but which still seems too low. I'm reminded every time though that the USA is still only recycling 30-35% of its waste and I think that has been dropping in recent years because of you know who, and England still hasn't hit 50% with targets looking like they'll be watered down after Brexit.
    "Globally, more than 2.1bn metric tons of municipal waste are generated each year – Only 16% of that waste is recycled." :|

    @wild edges, your youngest sounds just like mine at the same age. He once threw up down the back of my neck whilst we were driving over the Severn Bridge - lovely, not.
    He too, could trip over nothing and I lost count of how many times we had to rush him into A&E. I got quite nervous in case they thought he was a battered child. He fell off the climbing frame and broke his arm badly on one of my birthdays and then got appendicitis the evening before my big 40th birthday party. I'd like to say he grew out of it but he's still accident prone at nearly 50!

    @wild edges - it's been reported recently that council workers have seen an increase in stuff being put in the general waste bins, rather than it being put in recycling bins, and of course- because so many folk are at home more, along with their children, there's an increase in domestic rubbish to be collected .
    When you consider the fact that people are at home, they should be recycling even more consistently than during 'normal' times. They're just making it harder for the workmen and women too. Another forgotten lot of front line workers.Ā :/
    Our bin collections have been pretty consistent all the way through, and they update the site to keep people aware of weeks when a bin can't be collected. I don't see what more they can do. People really need to stop being so bl**dy idle.Ā 

    My oldest broke her wrist at school when she slipped on a muddy bit of the playground as she crossed it going home.Ā  I bet some parents would sue the school nowadays, whereas I told her off for taking a shortcut. ;)
    She quite enjoyed arriving at A&E in the recovery truck though - when the car broke down on the way to the hospital.... :D

    He just split his lip open again. I think teething is messing up his balance this week. It doesn't stop him charging around like a pinball though.Ā  :|

    Just a thought but he couldn’t have had an ear infection could he? Ā Reminds me of my son who Ā  Ā  Ā sometimes stumbled around and had glue ear-type problems when little.Ā
