Originally posted by San Bernardhinault View PostI'm back from a little walk around the neighbourhood. I observed quite a lot of people just sitting in their parked cars. I don't know if this is normal, or it it's people working from home just wanting their own little space for a few minutes away from the rest of their household.

Day 21 of semi lockdown:
Getting tired of both tea and coffee. Fitted some new internal door handles. Tidied shed.
Went for a jog (Week 3 on Couch to 5k App) coached by Michael Johnson!! Becos asthma nurse informs me Ive put on a stone last year so I’m aiming for a November half marathon which finishes outside The Emirates. I’m on the cusp of this 12 weeks stay in house asthma thing as nurse can’t decide if I should up dosage. 2x2 ain’t working but 3x2 has so she’s put me in effect on a 2.5x2 regime which I think may keep me out of the zone. I feel fine though.
May try a DIY haircut tomorrow.

What's the score, WNS? Have you got the virus or are you isolating because you're asthmatic?
(Be forewarned - I may be PMing you about fitting door handles.)

Also, competitive parenting is never a good idea. If you and yours are happy, who cares what activities they're doing? At the moment, planning a table activity and a garden activity each day is keeping me occupied and keeping the kids calm. It won't work forever.

First week was a holiday we decided against in case we couldn’t get back. Flight returned 4 days late but we did get a refund even though we never went. Then decided not to go back to work.
Had yearly check a few weeks back and wasn’t getting better so dosage upped from 2x2 puffs to 3x2 puffs. Vast improvement. So I expected to be moved to a stronger medicine having 1x2 to save nhs expense which may have put me in the stoppy in zone. Instead I’m 3 puffs on morning then 2 at night of the stuff I’ve taken for a year and has done nowt at a 2x2 dosage. I can see me slipping backwards.

The ones to go for for head shaving are the ones they use in barbers. The Wahl Sterling 2
They cost more, but if you look after them they'll go forever and they're SO much better to use. They're even accurate enough to do your beard. I've had mine 7 years without a hitch. Even the battery is still fine.
I went through 3 or 4 other pairs first, before I realised if I wanted to do what they did at the barbers, I should get what they used.

We're coping ok here. I'm the only one in the household who goes out (supermarket, the corner shop, taking the rubbish down) whereas the other two are staying at home. I miss not being able to exercise outdoors but get that it's for my and more importantly the general good. Have been doing a lot of sorting out of personal stuff and this afternoon will tackle the semi-disaster which is our kitchen. Before that, there's turkey breast and salad to be prepared. It's raining today and will remain wet for a few days so I wouldn't have been venturing out much in any case.

I've got some somewhere. I think that the last time I used them was about 10 years ago when I shaved my pubes off before a hernia repair operation.

He looks like he's suffering from possibly terminal constipation and is trying desperately to clear the log-jam.
