I've just heard about a man in our local Aldi store. In his trolley - a sombrero, 12 bottles of San Miguel, 6 bottles of Rioja and a piñata. I thought right away - Hispanic buying.

A story from my past. When I used to be a live in carer, I only ever worked with clients who had learning difficulties. Some were easier to live with than others, but then there was one (Rodney) who was extremely difficult and who could kick off at anything. He would be very repetitive and he would ask a series of 5 questions, over and over, which just required a “Yes/no” answer. Once he started I would get into a rhythm and reply “yes, yes, no, yes, yes” which kept him happy, but wouldn’t stop the repetition. I never learned quickly enough, though, because I would slip into a false sense of security, repeating the answers in the same order, not realising that he had changed the order and I was saying yes instead of no, and then fireworks as he lost it. Anyway, today on Facebook, one of my memories came up, and it reminded me of the most surreal question that anyone has ever as ever asked me. The question, asked in all seriousness, was “Do you like bouncing oranges?” I said “No” so Rodney went off to his bedroom and started bouncing his orange, to his hearts content. As difficult as this client was, it’s moments like that that make it so worthwhile. This same client, another time, said “I have a blow up doll under my bed. Would you like to see it?” That was met with an even quicker “No” than the orange bouncing question. Perhaps I should write a book.
Day 12 of lockdown and I must be the only one n the planet that has never watched Gavin & Stacey...until now. How did I miss this gem of comedy and escapism.
Several years ago, while watching Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins talking as part off the Four Horsemen group, I was introduced to philosopher Daniel Dennet and neuroscientist Sam Harris. Harris intrigued me as his statements appealed the most to my logic. A few years ago he put out a podcast [he's a serial podcaster and recent YT'er] about Free Will, and the absence of it. I found this intriguing and I wanted to find out how on Earth the decisions I made were not of my own making. But I had the uncomfortable feeling that Harris was dead right, because I already accepted that I am the product of my life programming. And I like Harris. He has a mind like a knife and I'll often listen at length to his opinion on topics that I'm interested in. Plus, he's not afraid to be controversial and has ventured into the political opinion sphere. He's been called a Radical Centrist [Democrat], and if you think that's not possible, you just need to listen to his opinions. Borne of his lack of Free Will, I might add. All that typing has been spawned from this very good series of videos on Free Will from BBC Ideas: https://www.bbc.co.uk/ideas/videos/is-free-will-just-an-illusion/p086tg3k I'm bound to say that these videos explain the lack of Free Will in a slightly different way to Harris. Perhaps more accessibly? And incidentally, I can't let this opportunity go to link the Four Horseman conversation on Youtube. If you're bored you won't be, listening to it. Click on the Horsemen group italic link. Also incidentally, you might like to hear Harris's opinion of Donald Trump [<- click link] before he was elected President of the United States.

Chinese medical and scientific researchers have discovered that 102 out of 105 domestic cats tested have caught and are able to transmit Covid-19. That's pussy off the menu then. Here's a couple of link about it, but can't remember the other link to the specific article I read. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-...read-infection-study-china-pets-a9445061.html https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...ch-other-with-coronavirus-chinese-study-finds
I've got some on the roof Jasper, couldn't get enough sunlight on the lounge. Seriously though, if they work correctly for as long as I have them, they will more than pay for themselves. I set timers on things so that they run when I'm generating - my washing machine and dishwasher are both running and I am still exporting electricity.
