We had a rabbit jelly tin. Was it a thing?! Wonder if my mum's still got it.

Not made jelly for ages actually Ds loves it.

Some big anti lockdown protests in Germany today...

Not just oddballs but general unrest it seems.

In the meantime, Guardian is on about wearing googles and a visor along with a mask... a new extreme..

Had a very, very slow start to the day and an hour and a half long chat with my cousin in London
So just got showered and we are going to head into York for a drink to feel like we’ve done something with our day

There is no way in hell I will ever wear goggles, a visor and a mask. No. Way. In. Hell.

OMG just love this word I fell upon in the urban dictionary

CORNTEEN!!

TOP DEFINITION
Cornteen
Internet slang for “quarantine”, originating from the many times people misspelled that word on social media during the COVID-19 or coronavirus crisis. Often used in posts expressing boredom or frustration related to self-quarantine or 'social distancing' measures.

Sometimes also (mis)spelled ‘corn teen’, ‘corn and teen’, ‘corn in teen’ or ‘corn of teen’.
“Wow, They Making Us Self Cornteen”
“I may not be making babies during this corn teen but by god I’m thinkin about it”
“I’ve been drunk almost everyday of corn and teen”
“Really regret not getting my eyebrows done before corn of teen”
“What y’all doing for the corn in teen?”

cornteen
A misspelling of quarantine, a necessary practice to limit the spread of Coronarvirus. The usage of cornteen indicates low intelligence and high impulsiveness, and anyone using this term should be in quarantine from everyone else.
Yo, tired of this cornteen! Let's party down by the lookout.

I didn't envy the orthorist in that combo yesterday. Plus she had to start the day with DS being in an obtuse mood...

Ahh, the not-so-dulcet tones of my children in next-door's garden
They have less time than us between childcare at the grand parents and theit football restarting, so it's their first proper meet-up

Checking in

I've been looking back over the AD threads. The earliest one I've got on watch was started 11/5 and was about choosing your patronus. That makes 30 watched threads, but I was late to the party, anyone know when you actually started? At what point was AD coined?

Lovely thing is that post after post is still the same people. What a community we've become.

Ibake they started with this one...

"There is no way in hell I will ever wear goggles, a visor and a mask. No. Way. In. Hell."

Not unless I was Biggles doing a spot of welding whilst riding a motorbike-and-sidecar.

It's the same old thing, though, ain't it? An Expert says something based on some "Research" & it gets jumped on as gospel that will definitely happen.

Though it won't be surprising if we're all told to start wearing wellington boots from midnight because it might rain tomorrow. You can't be too careful. There will always be people paddling about in a down-pour in flip-flops though, which is why it has to be wellington boots & not sensible lace ups or hiking boots, just in case there is any misinterpretation of what "adequate footwear" means.

The reason for full-on Wellington boots is to avoid wet feet. For most people, getting wet feet will be nothing more than a minor inconvenience. But for some it can be a major misery, & somebody's nan said that having wet feet would lead to a chill, so it must be true. It is preferred if everyone wears a vest too. And don't sit on a cold wall if you don't want piles.

Thanks @Orangeblossom777 I've added it to my watch list so now I've got the full back catalogue. I'm like this guy:

Could do school in pubs, might suit the teens. Fill up daytime empty pubs and cafes with them and then could have the punters in the evenings. Job done

at Argos. I guess leafing through them is virulent sadly so they maybe had to go...

Checking in again. Being Mrs McLurky at the moment (DM situation is causing much angst) but still part of The Gang.

DM never made the carnation milk and jelly mousse thing, but she did used to make jelly then chop it up with evaporated milk...sounds gross really but I remember loving it

Checking in .. I’d wondered why the last thread had suddenly gone quiet

I used to live Butterscotch angel delight with bananas chopped in. Blancmange was a thing also. I used to suck tubes of condensed milk as well.

Checking in here.

I completely unnecessarily purchased a new phone.

It's shiny.

Can I join? Went shopping to my nearest big city by bus today. Face mask for over an hour there and back and had to keep it on shopping centre. Very local and online shopping for me only now, I’m done.

I am enjoying internet shopping so much now I have decided no shops for me.

The great thing is getting items in the sale as I can look at everything they have in my size rather than the few sales racks in store . I could never be bothered to search the jumble of clothes they put out in a sale but online is soooo easy too easy

Checking in. Thanks Dowser for the new thread. I wish I was in York with you! I love it there.

I've had a good day. We went for a walk in the woods early morning then for breakfast outside a local cafe with my friend. Two other friends turned up and there were no free tables so they joined ours so there was 5 of us for an hour. It was really lovely and normal.

I agreed to take DS into smyths toys so he could buy himself another box of lego. I wore a mask very briefly as I refused to look round. Just bought the lego and left. Then he built things with my dad all afternoon. The only sad part is my mum has become very paranoid again because she's been watching the news and she really didn't want my dad building with DS because of the 'rise' in cases. We live next to the 'northern lockdown' but honestly have hardly any cases anyway.

I did say I doubt we'll visit much when DS goes back to school as the risk of us bringing something round will be much higher then but she didn't like that idea either. Thing is there's no way I can take DS over there and not let him play near them. He doesn't understand properly and he forgets because he's 5.

Though it won't be surprising if we're all told to start wearing wellington boots from midnight because it might rain tomorrow

To be fair ds would be overjoyed. We have regular disagreements about where it is, and where it is not appropriate to wear wellies.

And, obviously, the reason for wellies is so that you do not get trenchfoot, get seriously ill, require ventilation (because remember folks if you don't like wellies you'll not like a ventilator) and sadly DIE. Your children, of course, will be orphaned.

Yay the fuckwits out the back are having a party in the garden/back of the house (I curse bifold doors sometimes) - the banging bass started about 1pm, and now we're getting the cackling laughter that only comes as the blood alcohol level rises.

Loving the frothing and wriggling over the idea that some of the adults might need to sacrifice something to get the schools to go back... welcome to the world our kids have been in for months and months now arseholes.

It's got cold here. I'll send some down your way.
