Oh , I’ve just seen dame Vera Lynn has died aged 103

@Drivingdownthe101 glad the toddler sleep is improving. Sleep deprivation is a killer.

Over sleeping is obviously not such a bad thing. I am not normally a big sleeper, get by on 6 hours most nights and can manage on less for a few days if I need to.

frankly it's more interesting embracing sleep and the weirdness of dreams than facing another groundhog day. My 9yo also commented of his own accord that it was better to be dreaming than awake.

Sad

I feel weird when I sleep too much - groggy and sluggish.

He's not wrong.

My bantam is sitting in the doorway to the hen house making an almighty racket. Is she fed up with the weather or is she a dementor complaining the others aren't keeping 2m away?

Dowser · 18/06/2020 10:18

What I’ve said all along.
People need to be out in the sunshine, not holed up in their houses and why we took our sunshine holidays in the winter
The Swedish government knew a thing or two when they built the first rehab centre called Vintersol in Playa de las americas in Tenerife in 1965

dowser no doubt a sad and needless death.

Zoe app is reporting a drop in daily infections this week from 4900 to 3612.
Imagine the ONS data will show a similar pattern.

Country girl, I wish I had the land for chickens. At home next door have chickens.
I can hear them but not see them on account of the high fence. Love to hear them clucking away.

Worldgonecrazy · 18/06/2020 10:22

I love the arc de triomphe. I once went round it three times in a white stretch limo, that was a lot of fun.

Drivingdownthe101 · 18/06/2020 10:27

I used to live in the center of Paris, I got the arc de triomphe cracked!

countrygirl99 · 18/06/2020 10:28

dowser one of the advantages of wfh is I can gaze out over the chicken run instead of the office bin area. I'd love to let them out over the whole garden but there are a lot if foxes and they wouldn't last 5 minutes so they have a nice big run instead. Every summer a newcomer to rural life makes the mistake of having them out in the garden and either gives up completely after their children are heartbroken the 3rd time or listens to the advice they were given the first 2 times and build a run.

Orangeblossom78 · 18/06/2020 10:41

I love the sound of chickens and how they go off to bed in the evening up a little ladder to their house. Don't have any but a relative does. Very relaxing.

Orangeblossom78 · 18/06/2020 10:43

I noticed on this dementoring type thread a few weeks ago they were saying by 12 June should have a spike after restrictions were lifted but it has been going down the last couple of weeks

Ibeingbornawomananddistressed · 18/06/2020 10:50

Morning all...

@Dowser I hear you re Arc de Triomphe... lived just outside Paris for 4 years, it only attempted to drive through that once... it left me so traumatised that I avoided it ever after, and closed my eyes when XH or taxis drove me through... One of the problems is that people entering the roundabout have right of way, not those on it! Confusingly that is the case on some, but not all French roundabouts 🙀

Wasn't keen on Porte Maillot either, but that was manageable...

Ibeingbornawomananddistressed · 18/06/2020 10:50

PS @Jourdain hope you feel better soon...

eeyoredebbie · 18/06/2020 10:52

my daughters have dentists check ups booked in for tomorrow

Argh the cap has fallen off my front tooth and my dentist say not opening till August 😭

Allflightscancelled · 18/06/2020 10:57

Ooh that's not going to wait til August. Dental hospital, maybe?

rookiemere · 18/06/2020 11:04

eeyore where are you ? There are some private dentists open even in Scotland.

Orangeblossom78 · 18/06/2020 11:04

Just seen this on BBC news

Social distancing rules are to be relaxed in French pre-schools and nurseries to allow all children to return from 22 June, education minister Jean-Michel Blanquer said on Wednesday.

"We know that it's not easy to enforce this physical distance and the scientific advice says that at this age we can [lift restrictions] according to the data that we have," Blanquer told a French TV programme.

Though some pre-schools and primary schools have been open since 11 May, strict controls have been imposed on class sizes and parents had the choice to keep children at home.

French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Sunday that a return to school would now become compulsory for all pupils.

Primary schools in the country will retain a 1m social distancing rule but Blanquer said that certain classes "will have to have a little less than 1m".

@allflightscancelled

I’ll give it a couple of weeks and look into other avenues. It’s not causing any pain etc so not classed an emergency. Dentist suggested one of those tooth first aid kits. Apparently you get filling material in them so I’d have to construct my own cap lol

eeyoredebbie · 18/06/2020 11:08

I’m in Yorkshire. I’ll look into alternatives but I’m getting used to it actually

fartingsparkles · 18/06/2020 11:08

Anyone who drives round the AdT is far braver than me!

Sleep is longer here. Thought is was just me being a lazy arse

Allflightscancelled · 18/06/2020 11:25

@eeyoredebbie Good luck with the kit! I suppose as long as it doesn't hurt it isn't a problem. But if it does get ouchy I think dental options are slowly opening up so it's worth a look. My dd got to go to the orthodontist this week. We had a rescheduled appt. for late July but then they phoned on Monday and asked us to come the next day Shock
