I went shopping. Not many people wearing masks. Even in shops. There is a new variant, Deltacron, which I believe is one of the transformers …

Re: Just for fun: the random, useless announcements thread!
I've found when I had trouble falling to sleep it was because I had my laptop and phone in the bedroom with me and would watch something while laying in bed, before trying to go to sleep...
It turns out I had been creating a habit in which the bedroom and lounge were not separate places( in both places I would be stimulating my mind by watching programmes)...
And after reading about the importance of associating the bedroom with sleep only ( a place of rest...a place with no stimulating devices)...I found it easier falling asleep...In other words I trained my mind to associate the bedroom with sleep...
Not saying that this approach with work for everyone who suffers from insomnia...
The downside is every time I walk into my bedroom to get something I start to feel drowsy and begin to nod off

Re: Energy wasted
My daughter is currently obsessed with not wasting time or missing out on things. Poor kid, it totally stresses her out.
She came to me the other day and asked “Dad, do you think I wasted my day?” “No darling “ I reply. “Oh good” she says relieved and wanders off.
If her brother wakes before her I have to go wake her up to ensure he doesn’t get more time awake in the day than she does!

It should be 'Federica and me'. I could cheerfully ban you just for that....!

I've just noticed my heavy-handed Mod note rhymes. What genius.

Re: Café avec Bouddha
So what was actually in the packet named “ēclair”? One assumes it wasn’t an éclair.
This is an éclair, for those close to France.

Re: Café avec Bouddha
I don't know what I'm offended more by: the Buddhic cultural appropriation or the lack of an accent aigu on "éclair." A macron isn't an acute. Also, an ampersand isn't an E. Total fail.
I kid. I'm sure it was a fine cup of tea. Also I'm fine with it.
