I've never been to Castle Howard and now really feel I must rectify this, especially as a huge "fan" (wrong word!) of the 3rd and 4th Dukes of Norfolk/Thomas Howards - it's all very confusing when generations all have the same name) @Cattermole where are you? 
@Jourdain11 Sorry to hear you are down, is it anything in particular or just in general? Get it off your chest here. You will feel better I'm sure.
I'm afraid I have given up on the daily figures as I don't think it helps me keep a sense of proportion at all, quite the opposite. I'm not "ostriching" as I'm still keeping up with the news and seeing what's happening in my local area, and I don't want to be (literally) ignorant but I think I (and lots of us) are damaging our mental health at the expense of protecting our physical health from what is actually a smaller risk than the mental health risk. Fuck me that is awkwardly worded
I'm actually too tired to go back and untangle that sentence, hopefully you know what I mean!
PS I think I will change my name back as bubble is my name now as mask actually is a verb isn't it
not just in the "i masked up to put my bin out"
usage.
PPS Re queueing, I think it was this, or previous thread, where we discussed queue jumping and I know you will all be delighted to know I have experienced (what I, at least, feel to be) total CFery worthy of an AIBU thread. My poor long suffering DD pushed me all the way to our local supermarket for "vulnerable and elderly hour" which I was going to take advantage of as it's always horrifically busy with queues and I do feel I qualify (although technically I should still be locked in my wardrobe
). We joined the queue as despite it being vulnerable hour the store was already full of us, fair enough. Waited 25 minutes, fair enough. Finally got to the top of the queue and a woman just legs it past the whole queue and says to me is it for key workers? I said no it's elderly and vulnerable. Oh well I'm a police officer she says and just walks in and no one said anything (including myself
) AIBU to think it's a bit BU to fucking queue jump past someone in a fucking wheelchair (and everyone else in the queue)? Well alright I'm sitting down
but seriously, it still hurts, and for DD to push me all the way there (and back, with all the shopping!) plus round the shop, after waiting there 30 minutes already, seeing someone literally run past me to get ahead of me kind of stung. It sounds awful but I don't think I look like I'm in a wheelchair because I've "just" broken a leg or something, it's pretty obvious I'm not well. It just really annoyed me but I'm not sure I'm ready to start an AIBU thread...imagine all the YABU as you've been TOLD to shield and shouldn't be out causing yourself to sadly die 
Maybe I'm taking it too personally. I would love to be able to run past the queue and run in and pick something up and run out...PS she wasn't arresting anyone or going in for anything like that.
