Lovely weather again today, a high of 18° and a low of 8°. We had a picnic lunch in the garden, and moved the dartboard out there. They're playing darts while I'm updating my code quiz puzzle thing that needs a name, you can now set a quiz that is a sequence of puzzles which is something we wanted for the boys. Each one leads to another one, there are three in this example. Still needs work of course.
I get a trip out today, Clare has ordered a catflap for Jim and I can collect it from Argos. I have to queue to get into the Sainsbury's first. While I'm out I'll try and get some vegeburgers that could not be had when we did our click and collect.
We have climbed to number seven in the chart and are fast approaching 10,000 coronavirus deaths. Our numbers are climbing higher than other European countries, but the news has been all about how ill the prime minister is rather than how the plan is possibly not working, hmm. I'm flip-flopping between my theories that he actually already died, and that he was never actually ill.
