Hello everyone!
Home interweb down since last night... first world problems!
Morning goods are baked and time for a walk with a friend.
The dressing on my head is off now:

HapPea Saturday!
That's right. That was the only one spinning slowly enough for them to catch it.Glad it’s healing Mr Pea. Did they just remove the one star, are the other 3 still there?

I have to say it's quite fun going out or shopping either with a nice obvious set if stitches like this, of a mahusive dressing on your forehead. It gets intriguing attention.
Unfortunately more concerned that something terrible had happened to me. The surgeon thought I might get quite a black eye from it. That could have elicited the other response.Did people get out of your way like you were about to mug them or were they more concerned you’d had a fall at home?
I understand from various readings that the vaccine for 'SARS Coronavirus 1' (c.8000 people innoculated in 2003) has provided full immunity for 17 years so far. So for 'SARS Coronavirus 2' ( Covid 19) there is hope at least that these vaccines could promote a similar immune response. Let's hope so.I suspect it will be early summer before we get to a point where enough people are vaccinated to effectively turn society back on; and presently no one is sure how long they will last as 'effective', so we could be going round and round for some time yet.

Well I worked in the private sector for 36 years and for the last 7 years of my career I didnt get a single pay rise. Reason, because I was seen as an "annomally" and in the age of transparent salaries, those of us who fell into this position (through no fault of their own by the way) were heavily penalised. This ultimately flowed through to my pension now. So its not just the civil service who get shafted, so do many in the private sector to.Yes... in fact worse as my pension contributions were increased by £250 pcm and I have 7 years added on to my retirement age as well (and less pension)... so probably have the same take home wage as I did in 2004.
Don't believe Gov hype that us Civil Servants have this and that and a gold plated pension... the words are just there to sway public opinion to supporting the next rounds of cuts in that profession.
Oh and MPs wage rise is still going ahead BTW.
It's not beyond the wit of man.
Morning, world of SM.
@MarkMas , I hope MarkMas the Elder is battling on well.
Yesterday was more digging and concreting in two steel gate posts plus a few random errands and a very nice coastal walk. Posts are looking good and solid. Just needs the gates finished now, which hopefully will be another week or two. No clue what today holds in store. Not much, with any luck.
