It's because of Covid, of course.

Extended delivery time/no delivery of items ordered? Covid.
Can't see a GP or Dentist? Covid.
Items you want to purchase out of stock? Covid.
Local Library still closed? Covid.
Can't get your Council to process paperwork or rectify reported faults? Covid.
Can't get though on phone to Gas, Electricity, Water, Telecoms, Tax, Pensions Offices? Covid.
Can't get though, actually, to any customer service/help lines? Covid.
Can't get your bloomer sliced in the supermarket? Covid.
Paying an extra 40p for a pint of beer? Covid.

I wonder how much longer practically every sales company, service provider, local government office etc. etc. will continue to use the vague excuse of "Covid" to not see you, not answer the phone, not open their doors, offer a third rate or non-existent service.

We booked tickets to go to a National Trust property this afternoon. We had a lovely walk in the grounds including through woods beside a stream which ended in a lake. We saw a swan on her nest, a few ducklings and some grey lag geese with fluffy goslings. The parents were watching us so we kept our distance, I didn't fancy being attacked by an angry goose. :P

I never noticed the sprinkle things tasting of anything much apart from a bit sweet.
Maybe they do these days - I haven't had them for years and years and years.
I used to like that red sauce they splodged on.

I'm looking forward to getting out to some gardens, castles, stately houses etc. in the Summer, have to wait until the Ole Man gets a week off :)

New Zealand kids love hundreds and Thousands sandwiches, it's a real party treat, lightly butter the bread, cut of the crusts, sprinkle hundreds and Thousands over the buttered bread, cut the sprinkled bread diagonally, put on serving dish and wah-lah, they will be gone in a flash. I feel no other sprinkle has the same result.
If fat means flavour then I'm ******* delicious!

Honestly it has made me far more self sufficient and saving money...which is, ironically, what the government doesn't want me doing right now so the economy gets stimulated. Lopl. I'll just keep chipping away at my mortgage so in 3 years, I won't have one and will be (hopefully) able to travel the world. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

I remember when I was a little guy my grandmother cut the crusts off for the birds. I never saw the birds get any though. I bet she snaffled the lot for herself. She did have a nice head of hair at the time lol.

The signes were all there. :P
Lolz :D
