They just fall apart when wet.
We are next door to a carpet seller at work. He does exactly this with the cardboard cores he has left. They are too long and rigid to deal with otherwise. Simple and effective way to deal with them.

We're starting a running club in ICU and trying to get the cumulative miles of the team to take us from Lands End to John O'Groats. Think they are looking at splitting everyone into teams to give it a competitive edge. I can't run too far these days with my dodgy knees but see it as a chance to at least shuffle around the block (not sure I can even do that as of today)

Have been working on increasing muscle mass and I am quite pleased with my upper body development. I need to do a lot more work on lower body now so getting a new exercise bike and increasing walking distances.

Cheers club champ, its a talent I had almost forgotten about - worked in banking all my life and did very little in the last 20 odd years. Always intended to pick it up again once I retired but didn't expect to ever be charging for it! Its great though, can earn a few quid doing something I enjoy, which helps pass the time when there isn't a lot to do due to Covid!

Near Honiton - move all still going ahead - hoping to exchange contracts next week and then complete by end of the month as there is no chain.

I've ordered myself a lego set. The London one, Las Vegas was sold out unfortunately. I need something to do on the weekend rather than refresh the same 3 apps all day.

Nice area. I grew up in Tiverton so know the area quite well. Careful if you play golf at Honiton though, a certain Mr Crossfield hangs out there I believe

In lockdown 1 I set up as a pet commission artist, having recently retired early, rekindling an interest in drawing that I hadn't used for many years. Now, some 50+ commissions later, I am hoping to continue and grow the portfolio. If anyone is interested, most of my work is on my instagram page

If anyone is interested in getting a portrait of their own pet, please get in touch. I have done some for forum members already
Very good stuff Steve, makes my efforts look poor ??

I am planning (looking forward ?) to finish the decorating I started last lockdown and neglected to finish after the courses opened again ?
The downside is we've just had to buy new thermal curtains and poles for three bedrooms, which has dented my Lofoten fund....
Also looking forward to more Netflix, just need to prioritise some decent drama.

Nice area to live, I do like East Devon, I lived in South Devon as a kid and still love the county.

My lockdown really isnt..
Working as normal tomorrow I’m taking a return lease car from home to a car auction place near Bath.
1/2 mile walk to the station, train to Swansea short walk to destination, collect another ex lease car to take home for onward delivery next week.
we have full PPE, cars are keyless go so we don’t need to handle the keys, no physical interaction with clients and the trains are empty, we wipe down the cars before use and sanitize hands regularly.
it’s as safe as we can make it, we also have a weekly test, negative so far.
it may not be essential travel, but it’s work and it’s allowed
Was in Weston Super Mare on Monday
Coventry today
Roads are very quiet which makes life easier.
Only thing missing from normal is the golf clubs being shut

Well it turns out I'm going to London to an office on Monday, for the first time since last March. The boss of the second project I've been doing cover on for two months wants me to attend a meeting with the girl who's returning and him - and I guess he's not a fan of Zoom. I thought about objecting but it'll be nice to get out tbh. I wonder what I did with my shirts?
