Those flowers are beautiful, John. Thanks for doing all of this

I hope your sister’s doing ok now

Bloody John Lewis too! What’s going on with the world? Amy is now my Case Manager and I’ll be accepting nothing less than the £150 they charge for a customer to rearrange a fitting date for my distress and inconvenience. That should just about pay for my lovely new chair. Edit. I would never normally look for compensation if a company apologises for some poor service and then sort the problem quickly but they were just taking the piss yesterday, telling me that they would be with me by 11.00 when they didn’t even have the carpet in their warehouse and then just giving me the runaround for the rest of the day. Disgruntled of Edinburgh

I am not alone!

Oh, I think we deserve a picture of your dressed hat rack! Meanwhile at Champ Towers we bought the IKEA chair in time for the new carpet arriving today. I had visions of spending my weekend basking in the joy of our newly remodelled living room ONLY THE BASTARDS DELIVERED THE CARPET TO THE WRONG DEPOT AND WERE LEFT WITH NO CARPET, AN EMPTIED ROOM AND BARE FLOOR BOARDS. AND IM NOT HAPPY

Actually no. It’s recognised that in times of national crisis, suicide rates tend to fall as people feel a greater sense of being in the same boat as everyone else around them. Thinking about it, I’m not sure if I know what happens to rates as ‘normality’ returns. There has/was, though, been an increase in the numbers reporting mental health difficulties

What a weird and wonderful place this is xx Welling up of Edinburgh

Yep, that’s my take on it too. I was just outside chatting to a neighbour who works at a medical centre. She was strongly recommending doing regular lateral flow tests. I’d been coming to this point myself so will pick up some kits the next time I’m out

Is this true, though?
