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

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’m 64 and apparently quite experienced in life and I had a nearly full chocolate milk shaker explode all over me and half the kitchen last week!

Yesterday I gashed my shin (about 3 cm by 0.5 cm) while concreting a veranda post. It bled quite a lot, but I had to keep going, because I’m using
quick set concrete for these posts. Each hole requires 9 20 kg bags of concrete mix and each bag is added by pouring the water in the hole first and
then emptying the bag contents on top. Each one requires a bit of mixing and sets very quickly and the following one has to go in at just the right
time. It’s a very intense process. Julie bandaged my leg in situ while I carried on.
None the less, that’s funny you calling me the master of mishaps!

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.

The process might be time sensitive but I was in too much a rush and carelessly tripped over one of the guide lines. Thankfully, it hasn’t held me up.

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.

Sorry to hear about your relationship restrictions, Bonny and Aqua.
That recent mishap of mine may have hurt and still does, but it hasn’t held me up. I’ve done quite a bit since then. Adding new structures to existing
ones almost always involves complications. Two significant problems have required storm water reconfigurations, one of which was quite elaborate.
Weather permitting, I should finish the current column tomorrow and then I’ve saved the easiest one until last.

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.

Are there not income support options in France for the current situation?
It’s 11:20pm here. I feel like I’ve been run over by a truck after today’s efforts. One more column to go and then the old veranda gets demolished.
