Our's got a remote control

I always press it before I even turn the corner, so by the time I actually pull up to the door, it is open.

To wait for the rain to stop?

Sometimes I wish that the trains made a little detour, right by my door.

	Wow, it sounds really scary. Good luck! (You got a mask?)

There's not enough smoke around to bother with atm, and most masks people were wearing were pretty much useless - the particle size of wood smoke is small enough to get through anyway. Also of little to no help against catching somebody else's disease, but polite to help catch a lot of your own germ sprays.

	Not sure you're going to get cold... Its been 10+ far too many days this winter!

Anything below 25 will be most welcome! Went to a wedding today in 33 degree heat ... that's Celsius, btw, otherwise I would've been both surprised and happy.

I want to ski but I miss spring already.

Have to work hard over the next two days to ensure my backpack full of Tim Tams doesn't melt while transporting it ...

My 11-year old has a cold, so I "have to" work from home. Have to have several meeting online, and the bloody iPhone headphones hurt my ears.

Just get a normal pair of bluetooth headphones with microphone which are comfortable. Usually they're listed as "gaming headsets" when you search online retailers. Bulky, yes, but far more comfortable - and when you're at home, it doesn't really matter how bulky they are.

If you need to be able to hear your 11-y-o as well, just slip the headphones off one ear ...

Admittedly this won't help this time, but you can be prepared for the next ...

Made a sandwich. Nice wholemeal bread, cucumber, roast pork, lettuce and Branston pickle. When I tried to slice it across the diagonal, the whole thing fell apart.

And my tea isn't strong enough.

My tomato juice tasted funny. Out of date?
Nope - veggie juice (with sourcrout and celery root?!? ).

Stacked on the wrong shelf obviously (the others were tomato as desired) - and that was before the Corona stress they are under now.
Ah well, one more litre to go and I'm actually getting used to the taste.

Looking for a solution for Felix's problem to keep up swimming therapy, I noticed that this company might want to change the name of it's pool-roofing in the near future.

I need a trim

[curley]

Was hit by a hot flush (no, I don't have those habitually ). It's Corona time so I thought "oh shit" and took my temperature. All well. Then I checked the room temperature: 27.5°C!

Floor heating is having a hard time these days with the temperatures going up and down and the sun shining through the (not very up-to-date = night problem) huge windows now. It doesn't seem to be very concerned about thermostat settings (set to 22°C). The whole system is simply too sluggish.
Used this for a very thorough, luxurious airing.

Be grateful we have plenty of toilet paper available in Switzerland. The US is shi**ing its pants over the lack of toilet paper in stock.

[doropfiz]

Spent so many hours on the phones today that I got cut off more than once just because their battery charges were too low.

Running out of paper .. A4 printer paper for the kids school work..

Normally I appropriate it from the office..

[MusicChick]

We normally basically live outside, either schools, work, beaches, slopes or gyms, wherever. I am dreading the power bill.
