The car has just passed its MOT after failing the first time. We would not have been covered by the new ruling because it was due before March 30th. ---

I will rot in Hell… English lesson time with Nephew & Niece. They are improving, the 3 year old has nailed Tomato, Potato & Cheese & most of the Animals. Then came the spark of evil genius. Yep I pulled out my top Trump. Baby Shark in English… They are hooked. ---

Today, whilst WFH, I was tasked with getting the shopping out of the car and packing it away whilst Mrs BTripz basked in the sun as she was knackered from shopping. To cap it all off the freezer in the garage needed defrosting so all the frozen gear would get in, guess who had to do that?? ---

All of the jobs that I have successfully outsourced over the last 20 years are coming back at me with a vengeance. Gardener and cleaner self isolating and the dishwasher has just started making some funny noises. Ayatollah keeps looking at the grass and tutting. Just fuck the fuck off covid. ---

I’ve just spent two hours defrosting the fridge. Or as she calls it, “foreplay.” ---

It’s a bit of WoW lore from back when the game was huge. A bit fabricated, but I understand it’s based on something similar that actually happened. They’re about to do a World of Warcraft raid, a thing that I think you can only do on a time limited basis. It’s utterly fabricated because no raid team would have done what they did. They’d have just let the stupid prick die and got a healer to resurrect him once they’d cleared the area near his grave. ---

I also planted some chilies seeds whether they’ll work is another thing. I don’t like chili either. Went to work…did first team call. It doesn’t work when another person in team is sat near you! It was excruciating really. Took a few more calls. Still none were proper child protection. Went to the small Tesco after work. Bought some bread! Still no loo roll (though don’t need it. Wine shelves now low. Unless you want an £18 bottle. Oh and my sister got back to the UK ok! Ordering a takeaway as nothing else to do really. ![20200325_180530](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/5/5fcefd61cc5641e269753f1d8ceb62212a028bcf.jpeg) ![20200325_173039](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/8/818526fe4f493258b1725b84578e8d5143b39961.jpeg) ---
