    Who’s at work/Not at work?

    My mother, an aunt and my sister with one of her kids. But they are not allowed to visit each other at the moment. We get plenty of visitors....or should I say we got plenty of visitors. Had someone due to turn up next week. But the weather has picked up. Average about 20 degrees the last week...

    Not surprising when they are all much smaller than England so much less information to collect.

    Who’s at work/Not at work?

    My employers are always good. That is the main reason I have stayed with them for so long. My wife was struggling to get a flight to go to her mother's funeral in January. They let me have an extra 12 days in France with wife and kids so I could take her instead of going back to work when due...

    Who’s at work/Not at work?

    Got a lot of building/engineering work going on at work. The contractors have all left site because of the risk working close together. So there are some decent companies out there. They are massive contracts. My work has sent everyone home/contacted that has underlying health issues like...

    Who’s at work/Not at work?

    Speak for hours some days as sometimes she struggles with the thought of not seeing me for so long. I am always busy....But less since the last week or so. First time I have been slim for a fair few years. Only 16 and half stone now. Can see that changing.

    You could be right as my memory is shocking these days. But 1991 would have meant we lost him at about 23. Sure he was younger.

    Still don't understand it to this day. Feeling emotional thinking about it and I am not normally that sort of person.

    Absolute brilliant lad. I thought I could pull the birds. But wasn't a touch on him. Would do anything for anyone. Treated everyone with respect. A laugh a minute. So sad. We were the same age so sure it was the late 80's we lost him. I am 52 next month. Some idiot was waving a blade around all...

    And it was said she wasn't allowed to kick that person out. I agree with what you say. How about you telling those who wanted lockdown before people got the virus?

    I remember them days very well. Lived on most of the 'select' council estates growing up. Remember the battles between Willenhall and The Aldermoor before the road was built. They were running battles. But the difference was the vast majority wouldn't touch those not involved. They wouldn't mug...

    Depends. My mother was in the process of kicking someone out. It has stopped. It will restart again at a later date. But thise who have been good at paying rent in past will be safe it looks. They will have to catch up at some stage. The problem is that it will be difficult for many to catch...

    So people have gone to work to have a go at those going to work.....and you seem surprised. Not a lot surprises me these days. Many just seem to want to be controversial.

    Wind took our trampoline over winter. It got stuck around a pear tree. Upset my 11 year old daughter as she would be on it all the time. Took them a new one a few weeks ago but it rained mist if the time so didn't put ut up. Got it direct from the manufacturer for about £100 less than normal...

    Wife is coping and kids are loving it thanks. Weather has been around 20 degrees for the last week. So their lockdown could have been much worse. They are now doing the school work set for them in the garden. But the wife knows she will be lucky to see me before September. And she is feeling...

    And now instead of pitched battles they stab each other. I remember the battles very well. We didn't take knives.

    Trump never surprises me. He makes Boris look 100% competent. He is on a power trip and doesn't have a clue what is going on. The yanks are worse than us for putting forward those to run the country that shouldn't be anywhere near authority.

    He had better not get Jodi Jones injured. We will need him when the proper season gets underway.
