We both play the violin, so it was squeaking a lot. She kept crossing the strings too (like she would play on the E string and A string at the same time even though it was supposed to be just the E string). Nobody said anything but were giving her side glances. I kind of felt bad for her but after a while I just wanted her to stop. It's a high school orchestra so that made it all the worse.

I played violin for a few years as a kid. I never played two strings at a time. Now I no longer remember how to play because I gave it up for a guitar as soon as possible after that. I still don't play all that well since I didn't practice enough and still only pick it up when I feel the need to relax.We both play the violin, so it was squeaking a lot.

I'm sure you could pick it up again, it's not that hard after you know the basics.

So, earlier this week I was having panic attacks. My wife made me go to the doctor. The doctor said I have ADHD.
I do not. I don't have any problems concentrSQUIRREL!!!!

Went to the local shop for some bits and pieces, including toilet rolls. None to be had, but got a couple of rolls of kitchen tissue instead - same stuff but bigger!
On the way home on my mobility scooter, bumped over a kerb, and the kitchen roll pack fell off my lap, bounced into the road, and was promptly obliterated by a passing truck !!
I guess I picked the wrong day to give up being constipated .........................

Now I'm really p*ssed off !
Went out for an hour or so, to the pub (first time out for over a week), and, on my return, passing my parked camper van, I noticed that the sliding side door didn't seem to be fully flush with the body of the van.
Checked the handle / lock, and it wasn't locked, and also noticed that the sliding window was open a few inches.
A quick look inside (in total darkness), revealed that everything seemed to be OK - apart from disturbed seat squabs over the storage boxes on the side seats. The only thing that seems to have gone is my sleeping bag, in one of the storage boxes, with the GPS and lap-top still in their respective compartments and, so far, no other damage or missing items, although I need to check properly in daylight.
The side window is now jammed, but hopefully I can free it, along with the bent fly screen, and close it properly, when I can see what needs doing, in daylight.
If, by any remote chance, I come across the tw*t that did this, I will dutifully explain, in very reasonable terms that, had he/ she done this a few years earlier, (when I was fitter and more agile) and I had seen them, or learned who they were, that they would need the stolen sleeping bag in order to be carried away from the scene in an orderly and compact manner, causing less inconvenience to the authorities involved.
But today, a 9mm between the eyes would be more appropriate for these smack-head, scum ...............

The continuing panic-buying by self-centered, selfish tw*ts.
Went to the local 'mini market' to get bread, milk and bits and pieces, and none were available, and NO chance of toilet rolls or tissues. This after three weeks of the same, with, presumably, the same people buying-up the same stuff, including things they wouldn't normally buy.
This particular store is normally well re-supplied, and rarely runs out of basics, except perhaps on a late Sunday evening.
Don't these selfish tw*ts realise that, the more they do this, denying others, the bigger the strain on the supply chain, from manufacturing to distribution, which could possibly lead to nationwide rationing and extended shortages, along with 'knock-on' effects, some of which could be unpleasant ?
That would really upset these overfed, gluttoness fat b*stards !
My only other alternative, at the moment at least, is to travel the mile or so into town, to one of the supermarkets, and hope I can find stocks of essentials, which, IF available, I'll buy at my normal rate. Of course, I'm limited to what I can get anyway, as I can only carry a relatively small amount on my mobility scooter. Some stores are setting aside one hour, first thing in the morning, for people in my position, but unfortunately, mornings are not good for me, especially at this time of year, as it takes me around an hour just to get moving, let alone get the scooter out and travel into town.
There is some hope though, as at least one supermarket chain in the UK is now prioritising home delivery slots for the elderly, vulnerable and disabled, so at least I can register for this, and hopefully get some supplies delivered.

Checked my water bill online this morning, tells me I'm using 8x the water an average household uses and my bill is going up from £50 per month to £210.
Turned off all water and checked meter, 20 minutes later checked again and we had used another 51 litres !

Thats 2,55 l/m, 153l/h 2672l/d. That is some useage. Quite flusing the toilet so much. . Or better call your water firm.
Already did, it was them who asked me to check meter, have to record meter again after 2 hours, then repeat exercise with water turned off at mains to help locate where problem is.

Stupid, loud woman who lives a few houses away, behind my house. Evidently, the lockdown and social distancing rules don't apply to her, her child, dog or visiting friends.
Since 'lockdown' started five weeks ago, every Wednesday she's had visitors, which sounds like another equally loud woman and her loud child. Today, from around 14.00 hrs until 17.30 hrs, the kids have been shouting, screaming and ultimately crying, and the yapping dog has been going mental, with a continuous, bl**dy irritating bark sounding like a demented crow, all unchecked by the stupid woman or her visitor.
And now they're having a BBQ in the back garden, with music blaring and typical, inane screaching female conversation !!!

Just look at it like I do Terry. Most of these stupid people will catch it and even if most of them don't die from it, hopefully they will learn something from the experience of near death and will not be so stupid in the future.
I know it's wishful thinking but it's all I got
Stay safe man

Our new neighbours seem to have visitors every day and the house we back on to seems to think the whole estate likes her spotify list !

Further bl**dy noise.
Didn't manage to get off to sleep until around 07.00 hrs. Woken up at 08.00 hrs by the bl**dy yapping dog, barking continuously for around 10 minutes, with the stupid woman obviously totally oblivious to it.
It suddenly went quiet, after I'd opened my bedroom window, and shouted, in 'Parade Ground' voice "Shut that ******* dog up" !!
