Random Irritations

The restaurant is still open but that is two floors down and only open at set hours, certainly not in the evening after 7.30pm for any night staff or functional for anyone wanting a cup of tea or coffee during the working day. I had a plan but sadly looks to only be functional during the day and not beneficial to the night staff in the cold zone. In theory there is a theatre kitchen they could use but again, not overly close and rumour has it that'll become a "hot" zone soon.

Why not staff and open the restaurant 24hrs for the current condition. Surely thats the simplest solution?
 
Playing World Golf Tour on-line and the Old Course St.Andrews. Holes 2-6 run in the same direction - so do 12-16. So why does each hole have totally different wind directions?
 
The Mail on-line. They employ a bunch of minimum salary interns to post provocative comments under assumed names on their message boards to promote click bait. So the string of comments today along the lines of "hope the PM dies" are disgusting. And I do know from someone there that these are not general posts - they are employed interns posting them. I really didn't think that publication could sink any lower - I stand corrected.
 
Being in a timewarp - it is now 1500 hours which isn't possible, it can't be later than 1230 hours. #brainfug.:unsure:
 
Stupid twits. So many of them will not make an effort to keep a minimum of 2m. I was stood in the field waiting for the dogs and a runner surprised me as she passed from behind me - probably gave me a metre at best. Out on my bike and a couple cycling towards me two abreast - did the fat twit in lycra on the outside make any effort to move in? Of course he flipping didn't. Stupid twitting ignormaus then smiled and lifted a hand to wave - if I wasn't so knackered I'd have told him where to shove it.

It's 2 METRES people - minimum - I just don't get what they're not getting.

And breathe...

Would a cuddle make you feel better? ?

Yes! Virtually of course.

Actually this situation has made me realise I'm much more gregarious and tactile than I thought. I see things on TV where people meet and greet and hug and stuff and always think "I miss those moments" - it actually feels a bit alien seeing it. Plus I feel terrible crossing the road to avoid people. A woman in the village this morning with her baby in a pram and crossed over which felt rude.

In fact I think I hate corona virus more than...anything.

I quite like people keeping their distance tbh.
Nowt worse than some scrubber in supermarket queue getting too close.

Oddly enough I am finding people are being more friendly at the moment as the movement away is usually done with an apologetic, very British, smile in a 'we are moving for the obvious reason so don't take it personally' kind of way. It is becoming a talking point as people pass, partly as well because people are enjoying their little moment of human contact from their one time out of the house per day. Perhaps this is a country thing, we move a bit slower in Northumberland :D:coffee:

You can still wave and shout high: nice day.

Yeah I’ve found this when I’ve been out running or walking the dog.

Hopefully this will all be over soon & we can get back to hating each other.

Chaps are known to have difficulty with judging measures... Probably thought he was allowing you a good five metres gapping...
 
Got a bad whack on the shin from a pedal earlier, big 2 inch gash which was bleeding a fair bit, looks like it may be down to the bone :sick:
May as well crack open a beer and let the sunshine heal it (y)
