I know people who bring ambrosia to Thanksgiving - multiple kinds. And sweet potatoes with broiled marshmallows. They might even have jell-o moulds too, but I have blanked that out. They are fond of green bean casserole too. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I thought our dishwasher problems were due to weakened door springs, I did look at how to replace them. It seemed to me that the biggest problem was going to be stretching the new springs to fit. 12 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after the terrible situation in Northern Italy and in Spain was observed by the UK government, the UK government’s response has one of dithering and lack of leadership as Britain fumbled its way to a a CoVID-19 management plan. Compared to how countries like Germany or South Korea have managed the pandemic, it’s hard not to suspect a degree of panic amongst the upper echelons of the UK’s government. Further comment on how different countries have managed the pandemic compared to the UK and on the pros and cons of the various strategies adopted I think would get “political” very fast. Suffice to say there is a lot of level-headed, thoughtful and critical analysis available on the Internet for those who wish go beyond the headlines. 8 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium TheQ Posted June 23, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 23, 2020 Mooring Awl, Inner Temple Hare, A poor nights sleep too hot too many wake ups and turnovers.. I've just opened windows on the sunny side of the house.. The North, but it won't be sunny there for much longer, as the sun moves round it's the coolest side of the house for most of the day. There's just been a piece on TV about the virus in Saudi, it occurred to me it must be badly affecting the thousands of Bae staff in Saudi. The normal routine is 15 weeks out there, 15days off ( including travel). So basically they get home to spend their days off in lockdown. I'm guessing Saudi allows them back in as essential workers. The visit to the big Tess and Coe went well, except too many Cockwombles going the wrong way down isles, few masks were seen. I heard one late teen / early 20 say to girl friend, " look at the people with masks.. They think they're going to die" sadly he probably will get away with it, he deserves a good dose of the virus.. Time to.. Go to work.. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why are you so focused on how the UK corked it up? Lots of countries fumbled around too. The US is a pretty good example. Your comments were nothing but political so kindly knock it off.

Popular Post chrisf Posted June 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Greetings one and all! Erichill, be careful what you wish for ... As it happens, I didn't go straight back to bed yesterday. I spent most of the day discovering that it only hurts when I move. It may be a false dawn but my initial impressions are that the pain is reduced today. When I do the fodder run tomorrow, as I must, supplies of Nurofen will head the list. I discovered a long time ago that a supermarket trolley is a good substitute for a zimmer frame. It could have been a lot worse in many ways. Tomorrow would have been the day when I set off for Dublin and the thought of trying to hobble for two miles through the city centre in the Pride parade is a grim one. Equally grim is the thought that I might still have been lying at the foot of the stairs unable to move. I don't know whether I landed on one of my project boxes or stood on it in my efforts to resume the vertical but it needs replacing whatever happened to it. I am due to go into town tomorrow once the fodder run is accomplished and may well use the bus. On Friday I have an appointment at the surgery for my injection and may get Nurse Laura to manipulate me with her magic thumbs. That is so preferable to approaching Checkpoint Charlene for an appointment with the minor illnesses nurse. Thanks to all gentle readers who have expressed concern and proffered advice. Me being me, it is much easier for others to give advice than for me to take it. It seems so long ago now, but the ribeye steak was lovely and tender and the rose wine was very tasty. No, I am not blaming it for falling downstairs! There is more to that dreadful incident in Reading than meets the eye. The murder of three gay men is on the face of it an odd thing for the anti-terrorism squad to be handling but far be it for me to question the actions of the Thames Valley police.

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted June 23, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Good moaning. Firstboff glad that Chrisf has checked in. As a youngster I used to wonder why my mother sounded so serious when she said that so and so had had a fall. At that stage of my life, and for many years afterwards, if I fell, I just rolled over and got up. I am starting to understand my mother's concern. Happy Anniversary to Baz and Mrs Baz. Yes 1979 was a good year, you obviously used a Saturday 3 weeks after our wedding. I suspect that we were just getting back from our honeymoon by then. Nights at Dewsbury Road was quite a change. Anyway, much was achieved yesterday. The garden bench was finished and the boss is now pondering where it is to be placed. Then my mate turned up and we rehung the last of the repainted shutters. They do look good. In the afternoon Beth potterred in the garden and I assembled various ancillary bits for the new pool, such as the ladder and filter. After tea we sat out as the sunset was rather nice. A glass of Aberfeldy suited the mood. Anyway today we are heading to strim the jungle at the house that some expat friends own. The grass is 3' high and they are hoping to come over soon. This afternoon I will probably be grass cutting. The weather is fine so it may well be rather warm. Regards to all. Jamie.

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted June 23, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) I have to report a cloudy morning up in the North West Leeds Highlands. I wonder if we hear any more airliners taking off from the airport today? Flavio..you don't need to tell anyone in the ukabout our problems. Living in fortress Switzerland it is far easier to control what goes on especially with such a compliant population backed with great piles of someone elses wealth (probably exwealth for some). Bit different here due to the great variety of people who live here. What I do see is that we need ..across quite a few countries ...for the people in charge to have experience of handling problems in high pressure situations. In the past these were in battle, some don't even have them in their work. PAH! Today should involve a walk or two, I will go into battle with our surgery (although open they don't answer phones or emails.. the great wonder is.. they are in...I may have to resort to ring8ng the head GP at home (her indoors taught his daughters music (recorder, flute, bassoon) over the years.
