Yes its not easy, I know more people are tested these days but rates are going up again. Fingers crossed people don’t get it bad or end up with long covid. I hope people do take precautions once restrictions are relaxed. @mooseyB

Thank you. No, I haven’t had any covid vaccinations x

Thank you. I can not wait… They’re just calling my name, but I really do not have the energy to even open the packaging :pensive:
Don’t worry, hopefully I’ll be better soon :crossed_fingers:t2: x

All masks off and no restrictions as of a week or so… yay Boris well done … SARCASM!
I am so frightened of this virus especially now.

I’m with you. Numbers going up. All he’s done is create a variant factory, and that is when this could get really dangerous again. If it doesn’t, it will be lucky.
And if you expect to go abroad, you’re probably out of luck. I read somewhere people were threatening to ban us from travelling to places if we have no restrictions.
I would joke about Boris, but this is too damned serious.

Coincidentally, my OH got sent home from work last night after track and trace notified him to isolate. Spent the last 4 days together so no idea who he’s come into contact with. I was very relieved to get a negative test this morning at work… hopefully that continues :crossed_fingers:t2:

Well it’s a good job i bought another mini vibe :joy: I’ve used my old one enough that i think the silicone has come away from the internal mechanism :sweat_smile: (i noticed it was making an odd noise when not press against something and further investigation suggestd that’s the problem)

Does anyone like Harry Potter? I picked up a Harry Potter trivial pursuit thing for the kids, and can pop a mini-quiz together if there are any fans?

I can understand that life needs to go back to some kind of normal. But with the numbers rising I think it’s a bit strange to say masks will be upto the individual. I know there will be a lot of people that will not wear masks and won’t socially distance.
Again it baffles me how people think a lot of this is rubbish.
I think we should follow a country like Thailand where they wear masks if I’ll to stop passing it onto others.

I’ve cracked the questions open and had a squizz, and they’re actually quite tricky. I may have misjudged the difficulty level. :slightly_smiling_face: I’ll cobble one together and see how we get on. :+1:

Edit: And it’s live. :slightly_smiling_face::+1: Harry Potter quiz

Just answered the door to my neighbour. He always seems to be taken by surprise when I open the door in my dressing gown, hair bundled on top of my head and no make up, and has apologised in the past for potentially waking me despite it being like 12 in the afternoon. Do other people not spend time in their comfies when relaxing at home? :eyes: I will get dressed today, for work in an hour, but until then I intend to stay comfy and relaxed :joy:

@For_Your_Eyes_Only_x yep I do! And as soon as I get home I put them back on! People come round and ask if I’ve got the day off because I’ve got my dressing gown on :joy_cat:

I cannot fault you, if you work shifts the time does not come into it. He may have thought you had been working nights as well. Stay in your comfies until you need to get ready for work. If no work tomorrow stay in comfies all day @For_Your_Eyes_Only_x
I find I have to shower, get dressed as soon as I am awake and up. Its just not a pretty site when I get up.

This might be an odd question but I’ve discussed it with friends and we can’t actually agree on any criteria. What’s the difference between a riddle and a joke (usually would probably be classified as a bad one at that)?

Jokes are supposed to be funny.

But riddles are more of a mind game to get your brain thinking and they don’t tend to be funny.

There are a few riddles that just seem so much like bad jokes to me, usually the shorter ones like the one with sheep and rugs, candles getting shorter with age and towels getting wetter as they dry
