Now @Robin and @Anitram I can top trump your sons’ A level and Uni paperwork. I came across these a few months ago. My CSE History project from 1976! So what did I do with them? Put them back of course, top hoarder me! 😱 It really is history! Our kids and teenaged grandchildren couldn’t believe I had to write it by hand, stick in photocopied pictures, 2p a sheet in the library and actually use reference books. I’m not getting rid of those, blood, sweat and tears went into that. I got a grade 2 BTW!🙂

Hand written and no doubt all spelt correctly without the aid of a spellchecker or autocorrect! (we used those quaint things called dictionaries)
 
A nice potter in the garden for me yesterday. It’s all beginning to wake up, and the few old seed packets I have have been sown.

Plus a great video chat with my sister-in-law’s family with an online drawing game thrown in, which was hilarious!

A niggling feeling I may have a short throat coming, but hoping that’s just ‘lockdown paranoia’ and it comes to nothing.

Weve got stuff in for a garden BBQ this evening, so looking forward to that too.

well didn't last from a nice 8.1 yesterday morning then went up to 14 still got to be happy as before the virus hit i went up to 27 and felt rather dodgy to say the least.

this morning a good 9.1.

well the sun is out still cold though, looking out of the patio everything looks the same with birds flying around then then reality dawns.

not really wanting to go out but got to do essentials along with bills, still very little help here, my partner had a stroke so basically with no family or friends i have no choice but to venture out be it only once every 2 days, i don't use my daily exercise as with caring i do enough from morning till what ever time. still feel very let down by the lack of any help, i even filled in the form on GOV and not a single letter.

Is there not a local volunteer group operating near you, most areas seem to have one set up. I found one for my mother in law who offered all sorts of help. May be worth a look on tinternet!

Hi Mike
Do you know the name of the drawing game? I'm trying to find thing to do with my lot as we have a big video link planned over Easter.
Hope the sore throat doesn't amount to anything. It is easy to get paranoid about such things at present. I wake up with a soar throat most days, and think the worse - but it usually disappears with the first cup of tea thank goodness. Hope yours does as well.

It was Drawful 2 by Jackbox https://jackbox.tv/

We needed a shared laptop screen (via Zoom), and everyone playing needed a smartphone on which to draw.

Haha! Lots of people are doing that it seems!
 
My hair grooming kit has decided to pack up so, with my hair all over the place and three teeth missing I look like a cross between Albert Einstein and the wild man of Borneo.

Any tippex involved? Younger members won’t even know what that is!
I am impressed and think it deserved an A

I hope that nothing develops from the cough Mike

Enjoy the sunshine.

Definitely no spelling mistakes. I still love a dictionary. I just like to randomly open it and read that page. 🙂

I definitely had Covid 19 last night! I had a dry cough and a headache! Feel fine today. I think I just had a dry cough and a headache! 😳
 
the sore throat is something to keep an eye on, try and get something called difflam spray and use it extensive until symptoms subside.

around here loads of us have had the sore throats and cough, seems there is this on top of covid plus measles is doing the rounds.

any doubts about sore throat with cough then dial 111.

in the mean time was just about to feed my fish when i noticed one side of the tank water look still only to find my power-head had packed up, just what i needed. luckily i went in to all my spares and found one which i hadn't used for nearly 2 years, primed it, took a deep breath and plugged it in and by miracle started to work.

just been on amazon and ordered a new one, just for safety reasons.
 
Garden is looking a lot better. Should have been in london today as it's Trevs birthday. Our friends over the road have just dropped a birthday cake over for him.
