Passing time at home in lockdown?

Quoted from Ipswin

Finished all the gardening and Mrs Swin is now making noises about decorating, got to avoid it at all costs! Suggestions on a postcard please asap

Incidentally went for a bike ride today at 0615, never seen so much traffic (mind you I'm not normally up at that time these days) Loads going to local Tesco for their daily shelf stripping excursion but also loads of commercial vehicles (not HGVs) vans etc in logos of companies / shops that should be closed

A study by Sven Svenson from the Karolinksa Institute, Stockholm, Sweden has discovered that Covid-19 airborne particles are attracted to paint and wallpaper paste and they can live on them for months probably.

Get well soon fella. Stones are a barsteward.

Are you on the mend now Ian?

Are you on the mend now Ian?

Yes thanks mate.  Virtually fully recovered physically. Just some shoulder pain...very lucky really..

Quoted from AussieMariner

Thanks for the recommendation. Watched first 3 episodes last night, looking forward to the rest.

Got any more?

I don't know where you'd find it, but I found a lot of similiarities, in terms of mood, lack of brightness and locations with Les Revenants which was a really creepy French series about children apparently returning from the dead to their parents and village. also known as  The Returned , has great sound track from Mowgli
Other really good French detective series was Spiral
NB you will notice that the wife and I are untroubled by subtitles, which puts many people off!

I haven't watched it myself but the wife says a Russian series called Silver spoon is really good on Netflix.

Simple, but effective Pete. Made me chuckle.😊

Quoted from denni266

Cant do a thing but watch the grand kids run around the house. recovering from having kidney and bladder stones removed . no sport to watch so feet up for a while

Spent a week in hospital last year with pancreatitis, brought on by a gallstone trapped in my bile duct. The pain was incredible and if your stones brought the same level of discomfort, then i feel your pain. At least you have been sorted.

I am waiting for gall bladder removal surgery, had the pre op and was due to see the consultant last Monday. Of course, that was all cancelled and i am now dreading having another gallstone work it's way loose. I have lots of little ones apparently and it could happen any time. Would hate to have to go back in hospital at this alarming time.

About 20 years ago I had about 40 small stones in my gallbladder.

I had to wait a year for the operation while waiting I passed most of them on a near weekly basis it's was agony.  When I had the keyhole surgery to remove my gallbladder there were only 4 small stones left.

I was ok for a few years then started getting acid reflux which is common if you have the gallbladder removed so I have to take a tablet twice a day to overcome the acid.

I don't think they remove the gallbladder now just cut it take the stones out and stitch you up so it is better as long as you don't make more stones.
