We had booked a holiday in Italy for this May, then the virus occured so we won't be going, however we would invest in a language book.

Another 4 [Edit 6] provinces went "booze free" today and another one will tonight. Unfortunately the latter is the one 40 km away from me! We are now surrounded by "booze free" provinces (and Cambodia).

We are province 41.

We've been watching some retro cricket and football in the absence of live sport. It's quite fun watching stuff from the seventies and eighties.

Some of the more recent stuff has featured so many Arsenal games that I am now suffering from Thierry Ennui.

Our guinea boys are on the lawn again, their cage has been stripped down and has been hosed down, the 2 trays have water and cage cleaner soaking in them, scrubbing will take place later.

Wow it is hot out there

 

[Yorky]

Cooling down a little here. 36°C at 18:00.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Cooling down to 4°C tonight apparently. It's already 6°C so that is feasible.
Daft thing is, Wednesday and Thursday are forecast to get up to 28°C!

You better make a trip to 35 before it's too late!

It's been nutty here - 80F last week, then storms came through (with a couple of small tornadoes) and now we're back in the 30's and 40's again. It's supposed to be down even into the 20's overnight soon.

That's why I hate Spring - one day, you're running the central air and sweating in a pair of shorts, the next day, the blasted heat is on and you're looking for your parka again!

I would have told them "Babbel" is your friend!

No matter what else is in short supply Booze of all kinds are readily available. Great to live in a state with a high rate of alcoholism.

Are the "Drive Thrus" still open?

I don't know about where ElizabethB lives, it ours are!

I was referring to the Daiquiri drive thrus where you can actually buy a drink, not just a bottle. As long as the driver isn't drinking, you can have an open container and drink while in the vehicle.

 

[ElizabethB]

Are the "Drive Thrus" still open?

I don't know . If I had to guess I would say yes. Essential
If alcohol sales were suspended the hospitals would be over run with people suffering from DTs

Brexiteer retards. They walk amongst us.

I do not like "Talk Shows " and avoid watching them. G will watch them and I hear bits and pieces. Those self appointed experts and spokesmen are making Covid19 a race issue.
Makes me want to on my favorite pair of shoes.
A bunch of blithering idiots
