I survived the doctors... Nothing to worry about... Only my sinusitis that didn't want to get better with normal meds... Plus I was on a quick drip for antibiotics for the cellulitis that is flaring up again... And then I dragged RRF to the shops to get whipping cream as pouring cream won't work in the cheesecake and last that is all Woolies had in stock... So he had to stand outside in the queue with me looking at all the strange people...

You guys live like savages. I went to Checkers this morning. Fully stocked once again and virtually nobody there.

Shelves were semi empty, even though the shops are open during the weekend... I din't want to go back to the shops but it was essential that I get the right cream for the cheesecake...

And I live in an area with more people than where you live in nowhere town... About 2 years ago, in a radius of less than 1 km from our complex around 4 new complexes with flats came up... Much higher population density now...

Talking about living nowhere, you should see where jee lives now... out in the bundus, in a small cottage on a farm 20 min from the nearest town...

Picked up some nonessentials while there.

Were you concerned that you might have fallen foul of COVID-19?
That was the first thing I thought of when I developed a roughness [not pain as such] in my throat. :oops:

I went to our small PnP. Fully stocked. Sanitizer at the door. Tape on the floors to keep you apart, perspex shields for the customers / tellers. All staff wearing gloves and masks. Controlling the number of people entering.

cootie

plural noun: cooties

A mark or icon on the body of a pony, ordinarily on the rump.
:shock: That is not what I thought it was.

Or, there's the Urban Dictionary version... :twisted:

Diseases that the opposite sex has that gives you a reason to not be around them. When you get older, cooties becomes known as "STDs."

Age 8: "Ewww... She has cooties, I can't talk to her!"

My left command key has popped off my MacBook and won't click back into place. In the middle of lockdown. You know how irritating it is trying to work with a Command key that lifts off every time your thumb gets a little sweaty?
