Chord patterns I remember - fingers ache and to need to rebuild callouses. I have sheets of warm-up exercises, scales and the like (spiders anyone). Space is more a problem, family spreads out over house all day.

We're staying in Titusville the night before, so only about 10 miles from there, then about an hour's drive to the Airport.

Just got a refund for these, as well as for the AirBnB's we had to leave early/not visit - so that's useful.

Just got to try and claim back the extra costs of flying back early from the Insurance company - should be "interesting"...

Yep never thought I'd see the day I was using hand cream daily.

my hands get dried out but a quick application of baby oil sets them right.

I know we don't have a baby but the oil has many uses. :D

A pack of 4 toilet rolls. :hyper::hyper::hyper: We were getting dangerously low. Last thing we wanted to do was the single sheet with the hole in the middle. :erm:

Wise move :Yes:

I've noticed an increase in online spending from wife & daughter in the last week alone, gawd knows what weird and wonderful things they'll spot in the next month or so . . just 'because they can' ;)

Two large sirloin steaks and 500g of lean mince - I was walking the dog past our local butchers, and they are closing down today (they can't get any supplies from the local farms, as the Supermarkets have taken it all).

I'm in a quandary about whether to order non-essential stuff for home delivery.

Will my purchase help support a seller and a delivery driver (plus all in the chain)?

Or will my purchase expose the delivery driver (plus all in the chain) to greater risk of infection?

I'm seeing a lot more deliveries happening in our street recently.
