📚 The Sotonians Lockdown & Beyond Diaries

At the hospital

I hope the person who organised that spacing isn’t responsible for anything important.

Would have been better to block out the middle chairs.

Anyway, the good news from the Eye Hospital is that they are still seeing their geriatric patients. They’re spacing them out time-wise, and it’s down to the individual as to whether they keep their appointment.

Most do.

A small lockdown pleasure.
Back last summer, the garden wasnt entirely under Mrs P_F’s control, so all the fruit, berries, cherries & plums vanished.
Cleared out a store cupboard this week & found loads of bottles of syrup she made.
Pine nuts & honey (now in the meds cupboard) Strawberry BlackBerry, raspberry & this very fine Cherry & Spirytus mix.
Nice painkiller after a long day in the garden & last night helped make a damn fine Mai Tai.
(Also found her stash of home made jams. Nom nom nom)

Yes that is 95% proof. Yes just need to show @saintbletch the label & he’d pass out

Do you have anything by “Dana”…you know the Irish songstress who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1970? Lovely stuff.

Just asking.

Something different to read.

Good to see they’re gonna try make a proper reversion of The Stand.

I’ve got Carpenters, Sgt Peppers, Court of the Crimson King etc if you want 60’s…

Don’t say we don’t cater for all tastes.

As you can see, we clearly cater for “no taste whatsoever”.

I’m a bottle of wine down, so going with this and trying to secure some weed…

Missus is not enjoying it, but made her accompany me to Roger Waters a couple of years ago and she wasn’t a fan then either…

If it hasn’t got resin burns then it hasn’t been used properly.

Just back from the Lidl Loot.
Haven’t shaved in 3 days wearing a aseball cap, face mask & marigold style kitchen gloves get pinged to do a slot for that interwebs TV Show.
It’s for Life Coach TedX Motivational speaker types.
So I do a live report from a queue, in the dark. Quote Jk Rowling saying Life Ciaches are being idiots if they think clients want to rebrand at the moment.
Tell them family, community 1st and stop lecturing start sympathising.
Then tell them to be like Nige. Breakfast with Nige & going viral.
They loved it, ran it & I’m apparently going viral in the world of motivators for motivating them.
And no theres no cheque in the post.

I’ve not got the vinyls.
