> [@soobee](#): > > don’t know who sent them I do. Ittiz nothing untoward or flirtatious or inappropriate. They just happened to be roses when what my kind friend wanted, knowing my passion for the waxy little buggers, was tulips. There are some tulips in there but, it being such a poor photie you can’t see 'em. I can ;- ) ---

Simply because I prefer Ruby as a name; but since I address the beast as ‘Mrs Puss’ most of the time, it makes little practical difference to me. ---

Or you can make really good soup from snotty brat sterilising protocols You know the one where you set a big pot of water on to boil and add a load of salt then when furiously boiling drop a snotty brat in and put the lid on with a very heavy weight on it Boil for two hours and you will have a beautifully clean brat ---

Sunday, 8pm here (midnight there) we fly back to blighty, arriving at 9am. I think I’d rather stay. The poor buggers here are watching planes arrive with next to no-one on & remove a plane load of tourists. Slowly hotels & restaurants are emptying. I think we’re amongst the final handful. I guess it’s no different the World over. Tourism here is 40%+ of their economy. Anyway, we already have a freezer and cupboards full of food as I’m a habitual restocker … & I could do with a diet. Self-isolating will be a cinch as I’m a miserable sod. Everyone tells me it’s all a bit eerie. ---

The main facer is when people you had thought to be quite sensible start to email doom and gloom into your inbox, with dire warnings to the effect “I am just sitting here waiting for people I know to die” – with the implication that since _they_ are an _expert_ who _knows about illness_ they won’t catch it, but all us silly little people will because we don’t have them with us at all times to slap our hands if we were going to go anywhere near anyone else. It’s enough to make you want to go and ride around on the Underground all day breathing heavily and wiping every surface you can find before sucking your thumb, really. Or to put it another way, _there_’s someone I won’t be bothering to talk to in future. ---

Dear Expert, Is it safe to slap someone silly so long as one washes one’s hands thoroughly afterwards? Asking for a friend. Gus [I wonder how long will it be post-slapping before the Expert realises that I have also stolen her soap. All of it.] ---

Why do people “high five” each other if they do anything? What is wrong with saying something like Well Done? ---
