Tessa Since lock down, and social distancing, our office has completely changed in how we are working. We have 3 different start times, all the internal mail sorting frames have been moved so they are 2 meters apart. We now have early morning sorters in, so we can separate parcel into delivery rounds, so everyone not crushed together. I now come in 2 hrs later, to give the person next to me chance to lay there round in, and get out before I get in. Lots of overtime if you want it to deliver all the packets. So busy busy busy. The up side is. Most people are home, so easy to deliver parcels. Even if it is putting them on the floor so you have to pick them up. Signing for the packets ourselves have also speed th process up.Yes, post and parcel deliverers. Vital and much appreciated.

He is on an iPad, bought for my 70th birthday a few years back. The family bought me an iPad, and the spotted this in a garden centre I love gardening but an not a great fan of gnomes, they could not resist so got it from the younger granddaughters. Has a place where he is left in peace and respect, much loved by the youngest who like to move him around to se if I notice.

I have made do with a hair clip to deal with fringe. My husband tried to get me to cut it so I could sport a lockdown fringe ....My grand-daughter (age 7) and I dyed our hair purple last weekend.... (for fun). She looks amazing.... I look like a crazy old hippy with a purple rinse.... I'm assured its not permenant (fingers crossed, else the clippers are coming out)

How can you say this and not provide a picture? We are all lacking portrait models at the moment - some one might be inspired!I have made do with a hair clip to deal with fringe.

Ha ha yes, no pictures were taken (thankfully!!), but mine has since washed out mostly, whereas the granddaughters is still quite vibrant. I think i didn't leave the stuff on as long as she did (i was a bit terrified of being stuck with purple hair for some time).
We may go for it again soon 👩🏻🎤
