What happens when a teenager with a penchant for drawing Anime gets hold of your stationary stationery, [thanks @Reynard] during a pandemic caused lockdown:

A rather fine lunch of two slices of wholemeal bread & butter, some Polish sausage and a nice chunk of Manchego cheese, along with two and rounded off with an orange and a yellow plum.

Stationery you mean.

Stationary is going nowhere. Although that's kind of apt for the current situation...

Pusscat still not very well, just about to ring the vets again.

Pawsies crossed from me and the furry girls xxx

Phone call from my neighbour asking if I can collect a prescription. No problem I said. Just been in one queue for my sons stuff, now in another pharmacy queue for my neighbour.

Back to work tomorrow

Is that a good thing?

I like my work, I'm not overly eager to go back to a busy busy packhouse with lot of people in it.

Ah well, back today but wasnt so bad.
They have opened another large room and split the large canteen in two to spread people around.
Tables that sit six are set up with two chairs, one at opposing ends of the other.
2 mtr space signs are on the walls, on the floors, everywhere.
All the normally closed doors are now tied wide open, I guess to allow airflow and a healthier environment.
They've split the shifts in two and now effectively have a morning shift and an afternoon shift, this stops the packing lines being so crowded.

I'd settle for being at home on 80% wages though...

I even looked at that twice and missed it... ho hum, edited

Aaaargh!!! Hot pressed watercolour paper, bits that have already been painted and a layer of masking fluid are NOT a good combination.

Ah well, I know not to try that again... Hopefully this is fixable.

If you mean me, it isn't that exciting: I buy sheets of thin plastic to make models like this from. I turns out that on this occasion I accidentally ordered my 0.5mm and 0.3mm sheets in sizes big enough to fill the box.

Also some brass rod, which they managed to bend, and pencil leads for my clicky pencils, and binders for the bale of paperwork I'm about to get hit by when I start work...

Nice work Andy

I think I've got a $0.01 somewhere.

I was talking about cardboard !

Back from vets, I know they have expenses, but so did Dick Turpin, but on the good side, she's come home, almost finished a full tin of Tuna & a load of drugs

I’ve been quite busy today, what with one thing and another. But I have lost a ball bearing, which is irksome.

I have days like that...
