Things are slowly changing, up here. We had the highest figures in the country for a few days but they have come down, since schools broke up.

Sure enough, I did a big shop in M&S, this morning, and ended up telling the woman behind me that she was welcome to pay for my shopping, since she was standing right in front of the card reader so I couldn't reach it.

I haven't missed that one single bit.

Long time etc. Yve. How's things? How's the Wibblys little and large (although I suppose the gap has closed by now)?

They're large and extra large, these days. I'm just the small insignificant woman who pushes food towards them at regular intervals.
