I'm starting to get really bored now.. .

You're the one hoarding the rice then? I had to make do with herbs.

It's not too bad being in isolation. For example, in one pack of rice I've got 8989 grains of rice but in my other pack there's only 8984.

Just landed - ticks plenty of boxes for me, including my first triangle mm example, my first 3a2 with rough groundline (S 2776), full weight (15.05g), and the Bull plate coin (383b/32)

Strange thing is, people are saying how loud the birds are. They are probably 6-8dB quieter because they have less plane and traffic noise to compete with. But humans don't have to try and listen to the birds against the background noise now, so they seem louder to us... Training up some robins- they now come just into the kitchen to look for us. We're not expecting them to be as good as a pair some years ago, which were obviously the ones that migrate to and from Germany every year, and are way pushier than the ones that stay put. Those ones would sit on your hand while you actually poked a mealworm into their mouths... If the food ran out, they would fly round the house looking for us. Here's a pic of the blackbird last year. Asking my wife for more worms. In the bloody kitchen. Only when really close can you see that a male blackbird's feet are AMAZING.

Welsh poppies self-seed amongst the elephant grass and the albums, and it always works....

Spent the last week or so painting the new garden shed (well sixmonths old)- quite bright colours - it looks a bit like a beach hut now . will try to put a pic on soon blue and cream in case your interested

What the Snowflake generation would be asking if this were WW2: Can I have more clarity on "the Country needs you" slogan? It's too ambiguous. Why aren't you doing enough to prevent these air raids? Does the siren apply to everyone? There are only male and female toilets in the Air raid shelters - I don't identify as either - where do I go? This respirator strap is leather, but I'm a Vegan. Why can't I have almond milk on my ration card? I find the term "black out" racially offensive. I find the lack of colour options in my uniform oppressive. How do I apply for compensation for my loss of free time? I find the press treatment of the German viewpoint offensive.

It is if you don't look too closely.

I've spent a lot of time sitting in the garden (and gardening there) over the last few weeks, during the fine weather, and listened as never before to the bird song. Watching the birds, and trying to ID which ones they are. Some like the blackbird, sparrow, thrush, wood pigeon and robin are obvious, but there's others I don't know. I've noted that there are nests in some of the bushes, especially in the rockery which is just outside the conservatory window. Fascinating seeing the birds fly in and out. I reckon with one tall bush, there are sparrow occupying the lower half, and blackbirds occupying the upper half. Made a lot of sense as the bush is very thick, so must be comparatively warm and dry inside. Even seen them fly in with straw in their beaks. Interesting when I sit out there they just continue with their normal chirping. But as soon as the cat comes out, they start their alarm calls - even though she's not actually that interested in them. On one occasion a group of them "mobbed" her, and she ran back indoors. The almost complete absence of planes means you can listen to them uninterrupted. Especially as all the neighbours seem unusually quiet as well.

K9P?

KV-9 ?

I'm sure its bark is worse than its byte.

I hope it can cock a leg

I'm wondering how it does a data dump? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/technology-52619568/coronavirus-robot-dog-enforces-social-distancing-in-singapore-park
