Are they trying to flush the Tesseract?

Those lights are something you can actually buy, and quite cheaply too. They're popular with people who have health conditions that require them to urinate frequently, because you can go to the loo in the middle of the night without having to put the main toilet light on.

[MENTION=7049]BigDeadFreak[/MENTION] [MENTION=6808]Cepp[/MENTION] How's it going?

I know [MENTION=2206]MonkeyJuggleDX[/MENTION] is out the other side now

I know @MonkeyJuggleDX is out the other side now

Mostly. Still coughing - though not as often. Nose is still seemingly constantly blocked, alternating between something that resembles Slimer from Ghostbusters in both size and shape or something crustier that an overcooked pukka pie. And any bright light gives me a banging headache that seems to last forever, which is obviously a pain in the jacksie with the weather being like it is right now!

Totally want a light in our loo!!!

I have a sore throat every evening from wearing a mask all day, it dries your throat out.

Managed to get a decent shop from Tescos extra on my lunch break, social distancing outside in a queue I finally managed to get some decent toilet roll, was sensible and got the 9 pack rather than 16 as we still have a couple of cheap and nasty rolls at home. Both this one and my local are getting people to wipe down their baskets at entry. Overall a pleasant experience, still no pasta and only the odd veg but it’s slowly getting better to shop

We have some of the vital masks at work now but the dentists have managed to advise on the phone today as recommended so lucky only had to cope with a couple of members of staff and 1-2 delivery men and 1 patient picking up a prescription as their pharmacy won’t let us send it via email.

Luckily 98% of patients are understanding or happy we are cancelling. The rest are unhelpful, stupid or total nightmares

Cough's almost gone, still have a temperature and feel exhausted today. My housemate's cough seems to be worsening, to the point that he called 111 before. He was told to stay inside, use over the counter medication and call back if it gets worse.

That blue LED otterbox looks like the kind that prinnysquad rode a 9.9 on at the Ring Masters Regional Championship.

It was probably you that caused it fammydodd!

I’m really struggling to focus on any work due to all this. I’m used to working from home too but having the kids and my wife and the general worry and stress is really affecting my focus. It’s been about 15 years since I’ve had anything resembling a traditional boss but I could really do with one right now. Yes, that leads into many jokes...

[MartyG]

I think you just need to focus on small chunks at a time and not worry about putting in a 9-5. I'm taking the line that, so long as I get the work done in the deadlines, it doesn't really matter what time of the day these things get done.

We could set fammydodd on to you if that would help?

Piece of shiiite!

Yeah, that sounds like the way to do it. My day is a lot more broken up and unpredictable now so smaller chunks sounds right.

These updates from the Tories each day increasingly feel like plugging a dam that's going to drown them in a months time. Far too much focus on selective support, support that takes a long time to arrive, and planning to claw money back once restrictions end. They seem to think an altered form of austerity is going to fix the effects of coronavirus on society.

Thanks for asking.

My wife came down with coughing and high temperature last week. She was pretty much wiped out for 3 days but she's much better now. About the same time she was getting better I started to get ill. I've not been as bad as her but I've got no energy and have been sleeping for most of the day.

About a month before all of this we started fostering so we've got a traumatised 6 year old with us. None of us have left the house for a week now. She's been amazing though. She's such a great kid and it's actually been really good fun having some proper quality time with her.

My wife can go out again tomorrow but me and the kid have another week left. Luckily we've got a garden for her to run around in.

I work in mental health so I've got to go back to work once I'm allowed out. I'm just glad I've got a job to go back to as my wife and most of her colleagues got made redundant yesterday.

Love the Tokyo Highway Challenge-style pimped otterbox.

It would be a privilege to curl a chod into that. I imagine the toilets in a Joel Schumacher Batman film to look like that.
