šŸ“š The Sotonians Lockdown & Beyond Diaries

Getting a little nervous/excited. Making the long car journey into Romsey this morning.
I have to pick up the dog’s worming and anti flea/tick tablets from the vets and a couple of bags of doggie food from the adjoining pet supplies.
My good lady and the dog are coming too, we’re making it a family outing. Unfortunately for my wife and dog, they will be staying in the car whilst I get kitted up with mask and latex gloves to collect supplies.
Wish me luck, I may be gone some time…

Today I made a slingshot catchbox.

That is a euphemism for what?

lol. I’ve set myself a challenge to hit 75/100 bullseyes from 10metres. Should keep me going for a while.

Once the lockdown ends, what’s the betting on lots of Eastern European sex workers being found (or not found) with slingshot wounds as the cause of death ?

I am not on the slightest bit bored. I have so much to do/watch.
For example, right now I’m watching Iran v Spain from WC2018 with Polish commentary

Busy day in the ā€œofficeā€ powered through loads and our inbox of 62 kids down to 34 by end of day. There were more coming in so we managed to get through a lot.

These on youtube, phil? :thinking:

TVP Sport. The State Supporter of PiS, sorry, Broadcaster.
They have very little of interest usually but that Spain v Iran game was a cracker, how Diego Costa didn’t get a Red Card - some of the goal - line scrambles. Classic

So today the neighbours upstairs are really annoying us with all the noise they’re making. This has been happening for about a year. The sound proofing appears to have lessened (maybe they did something to their floor?!). They seem to run up and down the flat (It’s not big and there is a park nearby!) now they appear to be jumping on something. Thud, thud, thud not just around 9am but now too. How much exercise do you need. I saw one of the culprits running around the car park. Yes do that.
We feel we cannot put a note in their door at present because it’s not usual times. It’s pretty distracting when we are working.

I don’t think that ā€œthud, thud, thudā€ is people jumping up and down.

In my experience it’s usually someone trying to get out.

To be fair, Fritzl would have been brilliant at this.

Someone put a note through our door the other day asking us to ā€œturn the music down in the gardenā€ as the couldn’t escape from it…

TBF Mrs BTripz was listening to some 90s pop crap CD

However I would have preferred that they knocked on the door and said something, Mrs BTripz however just said, at the top of her voice, neighbours don’t like my music eh and promptly turned it up :lou_facepalm_2: :lou_facepalm_2:
