I have been aching the past 2 days though and didnt manage out but will go again later today. This weather has been a godsend for getting out , can you imagine what it would be like if the weather was how it was 3 weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandydunn Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Im back to work, which helps a lot, but also in the middle of directing and producing a short video of all the kids from the football team, playing social distance football, it’s a load of pish really, but already clipped 5 videos together and my boy thinks it’s funny. If I’ve got permission from all the parents, I’ll post it on here when it’s finished, may even make a guest appearance myself....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slasher Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 This does not surprise me in the slightest. Went there when we played them in 2005 and it was without doubt the maddest few days ever 😲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minus 11! I am not surprised you didnt last long. Thats cold even for scottish winters. Well done on making an effort. Where are you ? I tried the Joe Wicks youtube exercise thing today. Its meant for kids but I gave it a go. My husband and I must have looked ridiculous bunny hopping across the living room with our hands on our heads imitating bunny rabbit ears. I struggled with Spiderman lunges and couldnt get the co-ordination quite right on my karate kid jumps. Other than that I quite enjoyed it. Not as invigorating as a run though.

Lairdyfaeinverclyde Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Good friend of mine diagnosed with coronavirus last week. He has underlying health conditions. I was really worried, couldn't get hold of him, txt, phone calls no reply for day's, began to think the worse. Messaged me tonight, all's well. He said it was like 'woman's flu' (whatever that is?) he also said 'don't believe the hype'. I know each case is different, just delighted he is ok.

Huddersfield Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 My local is doing surreptitious deliveries of ale (four pints of their homebrew for a tenner). I have a half drunk bottle of Laphroaig to accompany it as well so my short-term coping mechanism is in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDYER63 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 For 23 years I have worked in offices with next to no natural light. I have never really thought anything about it as have been used to it. I have been working from home for 3 weeks now and my desk is at the window. What a difference it makes to look out and see light and nature. Even had a bumblebee welcome me to my desk this morning . I found the first week working from home very stressful, but am now quite enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I choose my laptop based on how well the screen works in bright sunlight, as i'm out in the garden with it during the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 What happened to that Bee thread? I've seen a couple in the last few days. Cheered me up. Also, I used to work in an office with a view of mountains and the Clyde. I got feck all work done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A second bumblebee appeared on the window a short time after the first one. I wasn't so happy to see that one. They were both inside the house and I had no idea where they came from as all the windows were closed. I was on a call to a client when the second one appeared , it dropped off the window onto the floor and was slowly crawling towards me. I was trying to buy Eur 40 k from the client at the time. I had to put my mobile phone on the desk with the client holding on , and run to get a glass. Every year we are plagued by insects that sting ( you may recall Mr Tidy’s hornet trap) . The idea of a bees hive in the house whilst in isolation is not a pleasant distraction. Thankfully no more have appeared 🐝🐝🐝 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
