The options are:
Blueberry
Double Choccy Chip
Choccy 'Nana
Choccy Vanilla
Almond Poppy Seed
Coffee Cake
Apple Crumb

They source them from Costco.

Also: With indoor AND outdoor dining shut down I don't really want to sit in the dirt in the car park & deal with a plate of steak, taters & eggs.

Transatlantic code for some anal action.

Transatlantic, not mid Atlantic. You can relax.

We're going to be in Tier 4 from Boxing Day, I've looked at the rules and in the short term I don't think it will make much difference to my life

Apart from not going to a pub garden for lunch tomorrow, it's not changed mine at all.

None of the lockdowns have changed my life much, being the backwards, introverted, 12 fingered, sister shagging inbred that I am....

In all seriousness, I am really down at the mo. The lack of social interaction is getting to me.

I'm not at the point of saying 'depression' yet, but I hear the black dog barking in the distance.

Take care gremmers and make the most of the time with the family over the next few days.

I’ve got a few mates and a few I work with who live on their own. I’m not the most social of creatures but I couldn’t fancy living on my own at this moment in time.

We always used to eat out at least once a week - really missing that. We don’t tend to do takeaways and I miss getting some decent togs on and spending a couple hours chatting shite with the Mrs. Obviously still see her but it’s nice to change the environment now and then. We managed to get a away a couple of times aug/sept so that’s something.

Like a few others, I broke the rules today. Spent nearly 3 hours sitting on the beach, in the sun drinking beer. said Good day to the Jandarme as they walked past and no bother.

Tomorrow, I'm going to break the rules again by going to a friends house for a carry out Christmas dinner. i could visit them between 10 am and 1 pm but I'll be staying all afternoon and heading home before the weekend lockdown starts at 9 pm tomorrow. It's a serious lockdown but one can of course go out for bread - that's essential. :thumbup:

The village is Covid free again and people aren't too bothered although nearly everyone will be wearing a mask when they get close to others or go into shops. There has been a rise in the number of self righteous arseholes though which is pissing a lot of people off. They like to use facebook to tell everyone how they should live their lives. Twats. :evil:

MTFU gremlin . . .

I'm coping OK with the general restrictions - I'm pretty lucky in my personal situation - but by fuck I'm missing live music.

I'm meant to be having a plumber in after Christmas to change the bathroom suite but with the current infection levels I think I'll put that off for a while, I can live with a toilet in the lounge for a bit longer.

Yeah, I think there’s quite a big north-south divide at the moment. Let’s see if it stays that way....
