We'll see what happens in a few months. The problems have barely started, quite a lot of industries are going to suffer.

I'm somewhat wiser now... and one whole year older...

Happy birthday Bonny!!

Thanks Poly!

On the second day of being 37 I am apparently none the wiser. I had made some tea and wanted to have some honey in it. Unfortunately the honey plastic squeeze bottle hat crystallized so badly it wouldn't come out.

I had this problem before. Then I attempted to solve the issue by puting it in a basin of warm water, but that didn't work, not even after 12 hours. A few days later the honey was clear - Dad had put it in the microwave. The bottle had changed shape somewhat, but the honey was usable again.

So I attempted to clear the honey by putting it in the microwave. After taking the bottle out I noticed it'd worked - and then the bottle exploded.

Honey was everywhere and a large hot lump had landed on my head, plus more honey on chest and belly. Thanks to my bra there's no burn on my chest but there is one on my belly (even though I wore a thick home-knit jumper and a T-shirt. And there's a painful burn on my head. All my clothes are now soaking in water, I hope it helps a bit. The floor is clean now. And the cupboards. And the fridge.

Happy belated birthday, Bonny. Don't worry, wisdom will come a little bit further in time. Or maybe not... lol.

I think I got all the honey out of my hair by now...

Haha, the kind of accidents happens, we're never safe, Poly.

I bow to you, Poly, oh master of mishaps...

Hey Aqua, how have you been?

Oh dear Poly, I'm so sorry to hear that... how did it happen?

Sp, there are traces of your dna all over concrete, Poly? Lol, I quite often cut my shins when I work in the summer cause I wear shorts, so there's some of my blood on most of the roofs I make between June and October.

As for me, cause of the virus, I've been unemployed since mid March. Also in lockdown, so it's a bit difficult to see my girlfriend, since we don't live together. But thre weather's beautiful, and I can do all sorts of things I hadn't got time to when I worked. Now we'll see how long it lasts.

My youngest is 24 and still lives at home, as does his girlfriend. They rotate between his place and hers.

That's fun. Unfortunately since my province Brabant is the hotspot of The Netherlands (mainly focussing in Breda, Tilburg and Uden/Meierijstad) and his parents are in the low-struck northern provinces (and in a high risk group, but so is my dad) his parents don't like it if I go to him.

My plaid is finished! I'd post a picture but I haven't got a good one yet.

As far as I'm concerned, it's ok, cause we live in the same town, so we can manage to see each other. The more problematic situation is the financial one. Being unemployed drastically diminishes my incomes so I've got to be careful how I spend my money.

Congratulations on your home extensions, Poly.
