I hope that's not an invitation to a second wave. But it'll feel good to be less constrained.

Anyhow, back to lockdown world: I've just challenged my daughter to a 100 mile turbo race. She'll make sure that she wins. The prize is likely to come in a bottle topped with a wire cage.
Yes the restrictions have definitely had a positive (no pun intended) effect at least in my region which is the Lot. So far there have been 17 cases hospitalised and only 2 deaths. This info is from the health authority in Cahors, the capital city of the Lot .
Good idea re. the turbo race , you both deserve a champers or three ^_^

OK, but why would you put yourself through that level of unnecessary suffering?? :sad:
My wife is in an at risk category so we are limiting ourselves as best we can, that includes going into shops as little as possible, which I perceive rightly or wrongly as one of the worst places as many people are congregating, so we are relying on Click & Collect, which in our area only Asda are able to do, I have just looked whilst I am typing this, Tesco are now offering C&C over 20 miles away for the first time since it all started, but not until 21st May, for which they are also charging. So as I think I have put before Tesco's & us is now over, although I may have to sneak in for coffee :whistle:

All very sensible :okay:

But you can buy coffee online, from smaller outfits too.

True but it's finding one I like, I suppose I could try to find somebody who offers a batch of taster bags to find one,

I'm happy you say "may" always good not to be too precise about how much to drink or not.
à propos of nothing much .....what is the origin of tea mashing ? It sounds violent for this time of day :whistle:
Mashing and brewing are terms used for both tea and beer brewing. I think they're regional phrases. I'd imagine the beer usage came first and tea drinkers borrowed them. Tee total tea tipplers can borrow from cooking and call it stewing.
 
My cat was killed in a RTA the other night whilst I was out at work, very sad. Picked up her food & water bowl this morning as I couldn't before, made it all a bit final.
Slightly more mundane I've had one coffee this morning, will have the second with porridge in a minute.
Sorry to hear your news!
It is very sad when you lose a much loved pet .
