Happy Mothering Sunday to all the mums out there, many of whom are self isolating, or at least should be. Mine is and whilst it was tempting to FaceTime her this morning, I resisted as I’m not sure she’d have been thrilled to see my face pop up on her screen. At 86 years old, a fright like that could cause all sorts of problems.
I can’t believe there are pubs and cafes ignoring the directive which came from the PM on Friday night. The owners are selfish by staying open, they are putting lives at risk including their own and they are prioritising money over health. The NHS is at breaking point and whilst he and his customers are enjoying a Latte or a nice cold pint of beer, nurses, doctors, consultants and support staff are working their socks off in order to treat as many patients they physically can. 👏👏
Don’t be one of those idiots who put money into the pockets of these selfish and thoughtless pricks!
Football. You’re missing right? Yep, of course you are, we all are. Even though this season hasn’t been the best, I’m sure like me, you want to be watching The Arsenal continue it’s fight for top four. Actually, I just want to see continued improvement and after the mess Unai Emery left, a Europa spot wouldn’t be a disastrous end to the season. If it ever finishes of course.
Arsenal wouldn’t be playing today anyway. In fact the last time we played on Mothers Day was just two years ago. We thumped Watford thanks to goals from Mustafi, Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan. Sounds a convincing scoreline but in all fairness, Watford caused us a few problems from start to finish. The funniest thing was Troy Deeney stepping up to the penalty spot looking super confident. Cech saved his first spot kick in an Arsenal shirt. Hilarious.
Anyway, enjoy a few highlights……

Just five minutes was enough eh?
Stay safe guys and keep your distance from those around you…
Afternoon, Rico.. nice read and Happy Mother’s Day to you and all!
Thanks for that clip!! I was at that game, sat behind the goal and when Cech saved that penalty, absolute madness ensued!! I don’t like Deeney, so chanting “Deeney, Deeney what’s the score” straight after was brilliant 😄
It’s amazing how some people are totally oblivious to what’s going on and how some people are trying to make the most out of an awful situation – I was told a shop were charging £10 for toilet roll, disgusting! Unbelievable how low some people will stoop.
Money was short just after the war and toilet paper was an unaffordable luxury, one of my childhood chores was cutting my Dad’s copy of the Daily Herald in to handy sized squares and securing them with a string through one corner so they could hang from a nail in the outside loo.
Nowadays one copy of The Telegraph provides enough toilet paper to last three or four days at least.
Make sure you take the staples out of the magazine supplements though.
🤣 Potter! Ouch!!
Afternoon and thanks Rico.
I`m desperate!……………………….does anyone know of some recipes for toilet rolls?
I`m fed up with Cheese Toilet Roll…………..Sausage Toilet Roll………………..Spring Toilet Roll………..Swiss Toilet Roll………….I just cant see what all the fuss over buying of them was for!, whoever said they were a cure for Corona Virus needs shooting I may go back to normal food!
Went for a 4 mile run this morning and not a cloud in the sky, absolutely gorgeous, it was easy to forget the troubles the world is facing as the only habitant I met was a rabbit and obviously I kept 2 metres away!
I here in New York levels of pollutants and warming gasses are 50% down!…………………just shows how quickly mother Earth could recover……………time to accelerate the introduction of electric vechiles?

Afternoon guys.
Sue, wasn’t it soon after he’d criticised us for not having balls? Then he blew it. 😂
What a glorious day it’s been, my garden looks half decent again..
I go on Cornwall Live everyday and in St Austell there is a 2 hour queue to get in the recycling centre!……………..hahahaha………I have to laugh as it`s so unbelievable!
And the beach car parks are packed!
Same Here Le Coq,
New signage has been put up on main roads into Norfolk…..”Welcome to Norfolk, now turn round and f**k off back to where you came from”. Not that we are don’t welcome visitors, but with pubs and restaurants closed they are bringing picnics and therefore not spending any money.
Cornwall Tourist Board and Cornwall Councill are pleading with people not to come to Cornwall………..sounds like a similar problem as to what Cicero and Potter are experiencing in Norfolk………………people trying to escape instead of self isolating and trying to not try social distancing !
As of yesterday there were 20 cases in Cornwall with 4 of them dying, all over 70 with underlying health issues!…..thats quite a high 5 rate……1 in 5!……………. county with many retired people!
Same here Cicero with the welcoming signs ! hahaha……………………….I`ve only been here 29 years, so I may be chucked out! 😆
The only hope for us oldies is not to catch it . The only way not to catch it not to go out . My wife and I on average are about 3 arguments a day and at least 1 bottle of wine per night.
BUT WE AINT GOING OUT !
Roughly a quarter of Cornwall`s population are over 65, probably why the death rate will inevitably be high percentage wise!
Only 3 arguments per day, Potter!……………..what is it you are doing that is right? 😆
We’ve got about forty bottles of wine, at Potter’s rate, that should see us through to the end of April.
In order to conserve energy I switch off my hearing aids, strangely, doing so seems to cut down on arguments. 😉
Hilarious Potter, absolutely hilarious but I’m surprised by just the one bottle.. lol
News of an 18 year old dying from the virus…
Complete lockdown isn’t far away… a week at the most I’d say…..
I think he was quite poorly anyway Sue, not that that lessens the loss for his family.
I too think a total lockdown is not far off thanks to the dicks who can’t take the PM’s advice seriously.
New post up now
