Finding out that my work computer thinks it's a good idea to turn off the out of office message on emails when you turn it off.

Meghan Markle and her team playing the race card to try and get some sympathy, the only card they have left. Just disappear now please - no-one cares about you.

In my experience yes...
Spent some of lockdown selling 'stuff' on the bay... A couple items that had been lurking at the back of cupboards couldn't be listed as the zips had failed... Including one very expensive [at the time] camera bag...
Uk weather, Sunday and Monday when i wasn't playing, were fantastic, bright sunshine and 15deg, yesterday cold and overcaste and raining today
bet its nice on Thursday

Yet another close friend interpreting and bending the rules to suit their own needs. She is by herself and her two grown up children live not too far from her with their partners in their own households. Being on her lonesome our friend considers it OK for her to be in a bubble with her children - and the three of them often meet up in her house as a three or the children individually with her. Yes the infringements are most probably low risk, and they are invisible to all but those close to her with who she shares confidences, but risk there is. And if we ALL stretched and overstepped the rules - many a mickle makes a muckle.
Does she have g'children? If yes, providing there isn't more than 6 together at any one time she's ok. Splitting hairs but it can be considered as a 'childcare bubble.' And as we don't know the finer details, who's to argue differently.
all the lovely smoth pavements on the Western Link in Inverness, set aside as Bike lanes and footpaths getting dug up and been made a right mess of for some sort of cable .. all of these paths have waste ground right next to them. so next winter not only will all the roads be full of pot holes so with the pavements

No grandchildren. I have another friend who does and he does the childcare bit as you describe - so I understand that's OK. No - our close friend can simply sometimes feel very lonely and can get depressed and down...so I can understand how she needs her children. But unfortunately, and as far as I understand things - three households doesn't constitute a legal bubble.
And yes I know it may be considered by some to be a 'minor' infringement - however...and in our quite wide, well-educated and generally relatively well-off friendship group we are seeing many such breaches and infringements.

I made a curry last night. Chopped some chillies then washed my hands afterwards. Went to the loo to spend a penny, appears I didn't wash my hands quite as thoroughly as I thought I had

I could tell you one of the reasons that we see this behaviour amongst our friends - because they tell us - but that would see me the wrong side of the pence.

Similar thing last week, (although not so amusing ?), used birds eye chillies in a dish, washed my hands twice after. Touched my eye later in the evening! Ouch ouch ouch!

Hmm she lives alone so support bubble with one house
She can also do a childcare bubble with house 2. However your not meant to socialise with these. For example my parents are our childcare bubble and they look after the kids for us
Not sure if support and childcare can mix as when you support bubble you become one household so in theory you could ...
Sorry think I miss read about having kids. No kids under 13 mean no childcare bubble
Sounds like she has 2 support bubbles and they acting as one house

Ordered some mtb shoes from a company in Holland on 12th January, still hadn't received them by last weekend so I sent them an email. In fairness they replied quickly and said the shoes are stuck at a port in Germany, something to do with a word beginning with B we aren't allowed to mention ?
They supplied me with a different tracking number which showed an estimated delivery date of 4th April ?
Luckily I'm not desperate for them lol.

Etnies Marana Mid Crank but the winterized version. I have their regular Mid Crank and they are superb, really grippy and give your ankles a bit of protection from knocks and wet weather.
Maybe they will be delivered in time for next winter ?
I saw a photo the other day from a downhill magazine back in the 90s, one of the riders was wearing Adidas Samba lol.

I still have my Shimano M055 shoes/boots although running with Time Atack cleats. Excellent to ride in.

i did exactly the same last week. I was going to post on here but it was far too painful. I feel for you but not literally
Good thing about Carnac was they where fairly wide. Alas they don't appear to still be trading. still got my 3 pairs, two road and one MTB.
