Anti-dementors riding the roller coasters

[Waleshasgonecompletelycrazy]

And going to pubs, restaurants and zoos!

Oh and I think I’ve managed to get another fb thread deleted after another asinine comment By a cob idiot
( quite happy to sit it out at home while his caravan goes to rack and ruin no doubt ... till it’s You know ...safe.
Soon sorted that one out

I do love a thread getting deleted, then no one else has to be subjected to their brainwashing

Thanks for the holiday suggestions. Ludlow sounds good – we used to go to the Wye Valley when I was a kid. My dad was very good at making friends and on two occasions he did so with local gamekeepers and we came home with a dead deer in the back of the motorvan. I remember them lying on their backs with their feet in the air and tipping over when we went round corners. I’m not sure what my mum thought of it, as she was the one who had to turn the things into delicious meals and apart from a couple of bits to roast there isn’t much you can do with a deer apart from stews cooked long and slow.

I like country holidays (or beaches) but don’t want to go anywhere with a lot of sheep because Small Dog just can’t be trusted. He’s a good chap generally but if he sees sheep or squirrels a shutter comes down across the part of his brain that deals with recall. Expecting him to resist is just setting him up to fail.

I'll have a look at Norfolk and Suffolk too, if any of the beaches allow dogs in high season.

SirSamuel, I thought Runswick Bay was part of Scarborough Borough Council, who most decidedly did not want nasty germ-ridden tourists a few weeks ago., but if the toilets were open maybe not. I agree, it is lovely there.

It's permanently foggy over your way, dowser just grey and clammy, inland, though we had fog all of last night. Hoping tomorrow is dry enough for my front door to unstick.

ILs are here. I haven’t seen them since February. Lockdown hasn’t mellowed them.

‘So, I heard you have been on site this week’.

Delivered in a tone akin to me having been carrying out street prostitution.

This is the same person who likened me going on the work Xmas do to ‘not caring about my children’.

We've just had an almighty thunderstorm. Really, really bad. Our front door is also stuck shut!

Though the roof dp patched up has help up rather well so I'm pleased about that!

Hopefully won't be so humid here tomorrow now.

I saw someone cycling around our town with a face mask on. There have been a massive two cases in our local authority last week.

Anti- dementors things have changed.

Earlier today I posted on a thread ‘I think the ones who lack resilience are the ones cowering in the corner from this virus’

I haven’t been flamed.....

Mind you a proper dementor has joined that thread. We need to be grateful that we aren’t being beaten by police in Nepal and we aren’t paralysed from the neck down apparently 🤦🏻‍♀️

@justasking111
I love the word 'twonks' - that's really made me laugh!

@BarkandCheese
God i love a charity shop. And because i'm an alfalfa eating sock-knitting leftie (or was before lockdown) they're the only shops i'm allowed to buy anything from. Pleeeeeeease can they be re-opened - I'd even wear a mask!

I’m so sick of the ‘will things ever go back to normal?’ threads. Well no, not if everyone insists on not bloody leaving their houses in case the 1 person in 1600 who has coronavirus decides to lick their face, it won’t!

Well I've just had someone give me shit for bewailing the state of my hair so I'm fucked off.

You want your Blue Peter Stay At Home Forever badge? Fine. I want my fucking 2 inch long roots (my hair grows fast) done!

Me too. I mentioned the roaring twenties and got told that it was just poverty and unemployment and I said oh thanks for pissing on my bonfire and then someone else said yes plus Brexit and whatever else and I just thought oh get fucked!!

It's like you're not even allowed to be a tiny bit positive without someone saying NO YOUR LIFE WILL BE SHIT FOREVER.

Charity shops open here today. Our high street back to normal apart from hairdressers, beauticians, pubs (well one is serving pints and cocktails through a hatch), and businesses that have gone under

Just back from a birthday party split into shifts of 10. It was awesome.

Barely anyone wearing masks apart from one Dementor in the wild, wearing a mask and complaining very loudly (screeching, really) in the queue for Tesco that nobody was wearing a mask.

They are not happy that their power to boss is diminished.

Everyone I speak to in real life is appalled at what is being done to children, particularly teenagers and even young adults. I needed to know that.

Hope you are all well. It's gorgeous here. There are barbecues happening all over town.

driving I keep finding myself panicking that the dementors might be right so I am making a lost of things I'm promising myself I will do. So far I have
Stand on top of a really big mountain and take in the view.
Husky sledding and snow mobiling in Lapland
Lying on a tent listening to elephants and lions
A really, really nice meal in Italy.
Kayaking in a mangrove swamp
The list will grow. I doubt I'll be able to afford it all but the dreams help.

countrygirl99 in defiance I keep booking things that I and the DC want to do... Ive booked center Parcs for new year, Alton towers and splash landings with hotel, longleat, a week in Devon... looking at flights to Paris tonight. I feel in my head that everything I book is a ‘hah, take that!’ to the dementors.

Had a lovely afternoon at the rec, cafe open, my daughter was playing with a couple of kids who are in her bubble at a school. Fab chat with another Mum, both agreed that full time school in September is the only way really. I'm a damm sight more cheerful this evening :-) 2 hours of sunshine, cake and gleeful shrieking muddy children. Bliss

I’ve booked a holiday today too for the first week of school summer hols.

I do feel that the dementors are increasingly being treated like trolls

I've added snorkelling over a coral reef and whale 2atching to the list. And seeing polar bears in the wild. Never mind getting g back to normal I heed a lottery win😁 oh and bird watching in central America and watching a volcano eruption. And Iceland, mustn't forget Iceland, wantedcto go there ever since Blue Peter did.

@countrygirl99. That all sounds brilliant.
I just want to go to a restaurant. Literally just a really posh restaurant. Serving really pretty food, and amazing wine. Preferably brought to me by an actual Sommelier.
Oh God, the dementors aren't actually going to stop me going back to restaurants are they...forever? I mean, NO, that is not my main issue with lockdown by a very very long shot. But seriously, I really really want to go to a restaurant.

My daughter and her mates are now murdering a small city, while drinking vodka and listening to Queen extremely loudly. But it's thundering and looks v threatening. We already had a shower that wet the seating and blew the fairy lights. Bastard 2929 cant even let us have thus

iamapixie I am forever grateful that the week before we were locked down DH and I went to a local Michelin starred restaurant that we’d wanted to go to for ages. It was lovely, and at least I have the memories 😭.

2020 FFS!!!!

2020 really can fuck right off
