17 children remain this afternoon out of 29 in my class and this has been replicated across our two-form entry school. Most are off following the government advice. So, when do the mass closures start!? 

In preparedness for lockdown and not being able to go out:

• bought several litres of emulsion to paint the parts of the house that didn't get done in 2019
• bought some wood glue to put my new baseboards together

Well, it's official. The planet Earth has ground to a halt. Lockdown is happening as expected, so now everyone's lives (including mine) is on hold so no new projects as planned will commence.

People dying from this virus like the Black Plague and now, this modern equivalent has interfered with our daily lives. Anyone else put off by it? I know I am.

Battleships confide in me and tell me where you are

All very worrying. 

Damn stupid coronavirus! My trips to the Bluebell Railway and West Somerset Railway have to be postponed, now.

There is a load of toilet roll jokes doing the rounds at the moment.

It must be spring, the Magnolias are coming into bud....

That's not salmon, it's a piece of cooked sweet potato.

Thanks for that information.  Came onto Macs after many PC problems in 2009, some of which were probably of my own making as I believe in backups.

Please can you tell me what the equivalent Apple programmes are.  Many thanks, cheers, Peter

I am building a model of Fyling Hall station on the Scarborough to Whitby Railway.

Does anyone have any details or photographs of the buildings other than what has been published in books. There is a ground plan in Robin Lidster's Centenary book on the line but this is based on what was there in 1912. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK, now here's a mystery. What has happened to minced garlic on our supermarket shelves? You just can't find it anywhere these days. Just the inferior 'garlic granules', which are too small. 

Why would a hotel chain allow its accountants to let customers know what they think of them through the quality of the toilet rolls?

The Hachette 1/18th scale Spitfire looks mouth watering in the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain year, What a cost to complete it though.

Remember Antioch!

There's a special place in hell for people whose eyes are glued to their devices while walking along. And for people who cycle/drive while on their device. And for cyclists who cycle on the pavement.

But the most special place in hell, right between Satan's butt cheeks, is reserved for the total a-hat who was on his device, while cycling in the dark, without lights (except the one emanating from his screen) in a pedestrian area. Of course, neither of his hands were anywhere near the handlebar, or brakes.

Caught up with Sunday's Doctor Who. As the thread is locked here are my thoughts.
