You think today is cold.

Tomorrow here the beeb are forecasting it to be -4 with a real feel of -7 @ 6am

[Manoverboard]

Have two logs waiting in the wings .... oh yes

[Mervyn and Trish]

Looks lovely today. From inside.

You go steady. You'll be lighting them next

Yep, same here. Clear blue sky.

Going t' pub for lunch shortly but there's still frost on the car

Hope you've got your mask and hazmat suit on.

Just been to have my hair cut, the consensus there was that with the new low strength omicron, we should just get back to normal and let it burn itself out.

[Mervyn and Trish]

I read recently that historically pandemics have taken 3 years to burn themselves out, essentially when herd immunity is achieved. That is of course without the modern medical interventions we have. This one is heading the same way acientists suggest. So it seems that lockdowns and vaccinations have saved lives and spread the load on the NHS but actually done little or nothing to actually defeat the virus.

But they have made a damned big hole in the countries finances.

Very true. That's the trade off. Lives or cash. But they were never going to stop the pandemic.

It was a get together of half a dozen or so sensible old buggers from a local art group that Mobietta belongs to plus their spouses. The pub sorted us out our very own well spaced spacious room and nobody at all was wearing a mask at any time. An illustration of Darzet trust or crass stupidity ... either way it seems that we were all desperate for a couple of hours of ' normality '.

If I stop posting please don't send flowers as they can make me sneeze ...

[Stephen]

You won’t need flowers where your heading. Double check the walls tomorrow morning in case they’ve closed in and turned to pine over night

My brother and his wife went to a wedding recently. Half the guests subsequently tested positive for Covid, they fortunately not among them. Not sure whether that proves Covid is dangerous, or marriage is!

[Manoverboard]

Not sure whether that proves Covid is dangerous, or marriage is!

It's a dilemma and that's for sure

Now approaching 45 years and I am still alive.
Hope that helps to answer the question.

[Stephen]

That's the dodgy time Ray when they start thinking about trading in.

[Ray B]

Must admit Stephen, some bits are showing signs of age.

[Mervyn and Trish]

I've had a few bits replaced....

[Stephen]

I’m basically fu**ed

Just a beginner then

[Ray B]

Always room to learn more from a
long-termer Moby.

[Mervyn and Trish]

He'll be due parole soon.

[Manoverboard]

If only ....

[Ray B]

Sounds like we are all in it for the long haul.
