Random Irritations

[Imurg]

Every time I go to a shop I'm staggered by the population's complete lack of understanding how far 2 metres is...
While queueing for the checkout, some were leaving 3 or 4 metres while some were less than 1 metre away.
So many showing a complete absence of awareness of their surroundings.
Whilst standing back waiting for my turn to get milk, the guy in front actually backed into me..I was looking the other direction and next moment I've got the blokes shoulder nudging me out of the way...
I was probably more restrained than I should have been...

Not sure when shopping will get back to 'normal'

The other day I had to 'go long' to catch a 6 pack of cheese and onion crisp another fella was kind enough to lob over to me

That's why we were told 2 metres and not the real 1 metre figure the WHO recommends. We are terrible at judging distance so our 2 metre should be at least a metre

Alcohol gel hand wash! I think I hit top C with the scream when it got into a scratch on my wrist.

Just don’t rub it on sunburned feet...

Waiting for paint to dry....

• This is where the manufacturers are missing a trick
• A socially responsible company e.g., Callaway could issue Mavrik drivers to all of us Forumers to help in the fight
• Come lockdown restriction we could use these repurposed 'point-of care isolation tests' **** to help ensure isolation distances by others out and about .. could be done on our way to the course to play as self-appointed key personnel

10m into my bike ride and reaching down for a drink - to the realisation my bottle was still in the fridge!

at least it was nice and cold when you got home!

 

[Kellfire]

After only ten metres I’d just have turned round.

I had an ice cream instead!

Have started easing back into running during the lockdown and it's been making a difference physically and mentally. Halfway point on today's run I was thinking that the way I was running was inconceivable even a fortnight ago and feeling pretty good about life. Two minutes later, strained my calf and ended up having to call HID to come rescue me. Not sure how long that'll set me back for.

RICE and hopefully just a twinge. Have you upped your mileage a bit quick perhaps?

 

[williamalex1]

I went for a run today but came back home after 2 minutes , because I forgot something.
I forgot I was fat and can't run for more than 2 minutes

Basmati or long grain?

 

[AmandaJR]

Yeah. Haven't run for years and am too impatient to be running "properly" again. Already been icing and elevating, hoping it's not too serious.

If I do too much too soon it always catches me right at the top of the calf - almost inside the knee? It is usually fine after a few days off running AND then ease back in gently. If it hurts - stop.

 

[User20205]

Bit lower than that for me. Back in the "before", I walked over 7 miles practically every day so felt I had plenty of strength in the legs, just lacked aerobic fitness, and that seemed to be holding up. Looks like a bit of overconfidence though and just been pushing it to quickly.

Calves are dodgy, especially after a certain age. Compression socks helped with mine after I pulled it all the time, they feel ok, but tend to go on the first incline

Just watched some Instagram golf girlie talking about her simulator set up. Lots of cuts, hair playing and re brushed low crop tops ... amateur porn ?

Is this all instagram is??
Only thing of interest were the room dimensions said between pouts .. god help us ..

Fame desperation, she could have dressed normally spoken to camera properly and explained the set up and showed it in use.

The number of people on social media complaining about how many people were out today breaking the lock-down. The only way they could've known how many people were out today was if they themselves had been out. If they were out (perhaps for their weekly shop or another very good reason) then how can they complain about others that were out for possibly the very same reasons?

I feel that I have to see this to really judge it for myself. I’m sure I’ll agree with you though ?

Who would that be? Just asking for a friend, so they know not to click on that particular site ??

The weather!

After the best Feb and first two weeks of March on record, we've had the worst 6 weeks on record. In 42 days of lockdown we've had about 8 days when its been good enough to sit out for any length of time.

I suppose in that respect its made staying home easier but our life is built around being outside, even if its just sat on the terrace reading a book.

This morning, again, its throwing it down.
