Jill Sparrow 8,522 Posted October 10, 2020 Report Share Posted October 10, 2020 There are no special offers at Farrand's Though you purchase their milk by the gallons. But demand's never slack For a turn round the back When the shop lad returns from his errands! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brew 4,208 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 I'm in the money... I'm in the money, come on, my honey let's spend it, lend it, send it rolling along. First time in weeks, bought a lucky dip.... £30 thank you very much.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 2,883 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Will this windfall alter your way of life Brew? Will you give up your job and retire, or continue to work. Ps. Shall I send a begging letter ? If you could see you way clear to send me £3000. I can buy a seat on an inflatable and seek asylum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

West Bridgfordian 84 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Lovely day yesterday - Mrs WB's birthday. Steam train from Douglas to Port Erin. Lovely weather so fish and chips on Port Erin front then back on train for a beer (or two) on Douglas Quayside. We're not much into pubs but that just rounded the day off nicely. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 2,783 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Today has started better than the last few and I managed a gentle 6km on the rowing machine with little discomfort. Watched the morning news while rowing and feeling quite concerned for those that still live in Nottingham. There was talk of Liverpool being put on tier 2 and all that it implies with Covid restrictions, however Nottingham has a higher incidence that Liverpool!

PeverilPeril 2,783 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Our day has changed radically since a phone call from friends a couple of hours ago. They have tested positive and we were with them four days ago. We now have to self isolate for 10 days, including the dog. What a bummer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 2,783 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 It goes to show what a hit and miss the test and trace thing is all about. Our friends had no symptoms and only got tested because they were planning a trip to France. If they had not been tested we would all be blissfully going about our business and none the wiser. I don't know how it will affect our village which is very pub orientated. I wonder just how many out there would test positive if mass testing was available? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for your concerns Pev, everything looked well behaved & sticking to the rules Saturday & Sunday in the pubs of Nottingham city centre, there was no last fling, it wasn’t over busy even with the England match on the big screens, got told off in The Loxley for laughing this morning @ work told we are back to 2 in a van, first time since March, they must know something we don’t?

letsavagoo 646 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Following on from the posts from Jill and PP. My neighbours son whose in his 40’s noticed a slight loss of taste and subsequently tested positive. Apart from that he had no symptoms whatsoever. His boss and wife both tested positive with no symptoms at all. All now recovered not that there was much to recover from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Ben, Only residents allowed in and we have to self isolate for 14 days when we get back from visits across. A few key workers have been let in but they have to follow strict guidelines (5 specialist welders were jailed a couple of weeks ago after they went to the supermarket on arrival to get some beers!). Daily life is just the same for everyone else, pretty much the same as before covid, no restrictions apart from the return from holidays/visiting relatives. Must say nothing has changed for us. Maybe we would have had a short break to UK but it will wait. Look after yourself... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
