Morning from the 'bed' office.

woke around 5am feeling like someone had detonated my kneecap. Can't put any weight on it,can't bend it, and I've no good drugs in, just paracetamol.

I'd twisted my ankle a couple of days ago, but managed a turbo session OK yesterday. Cycling shoes offer good support, but I couldn't unclip my dodgy ankle, so twisted my leg. I think I may have twisted my knee.

Two zoom meetings from bed today. I'm used to working on three screens, and this laptop on my knee is cooking me.

Needed some nuts & bolts yesterday so went to my local supplier only to find they were closed, apparently since September, luckily they are still trading just not on the trade counter, so had to order off Fleecebay, I was shocked at the price I figure it has cost me double, but needs must.

Ouch - rest/ice/compression/elevation will help. But not a hot laptop.

I do hope your My Little Pony quilt cover doesn't show in the Zoom meetings.. Your authority might be compromised!!

Hope the knee improves!

Might have to get the bag of frozen french beans, as the bag of frozen peas has a big hole in it.

B&Q sell them by the bag - I got a medium bag for about £3 - all pick and mix.

Wash down with a can of oil.

I've had a letter inviting me to have a Covid antibody test as part of an Ipsos-Mori govt survey.

Edit: that's too exciting for Mundane News.

We're trying to stay to away from shops where possible, but will bear in mind, although would either have had M12x100

I did that test back in September. I contributed to the negative results 😎

Our local Wilkinson's use to offer the same but not sure now as not been in since last March

Like @fossyant I also have a zoom meeting this morning another attempt to brain wash me , it's a good job I can resist and stand up for myself when needed .

Rather than a Zoom/MS Teams meeting I've a webinar on the Higher Education Degree Apprenticeships audit process.

Still marking though. Should finish tomorrow/Thursday.

Isn't that an oxymoron, surely Apprenticeships are for manual skill based learning not higher education?
