Parked at Newark truck stop tonight.

30 minutes from my reload which opens at seven, I’ll get there for half six.

Had a bit of toothache today so I’m going to get in touch with my dentist, check up is way overdue and was cancelled.

I think ( pretty sure ) I’ve lost a filling.

Quiet night tonight, going to pay for parking and try to get stuck into my book.

Early night though, I was up at 0345 and have driven 620 km so I’ve done my bit.

Having a bit of a catch up with today's proceedings, this reminded me of a nice little story I heard some years ago:

StuntmanMike said:
A couple of commercial sign fitters were on their last job of the day, fitting a sign for 'Luigi's Pizza'.
One of them was sorting through all the individual letters in the back of the van.

"Bob, you did put all the right letters in here this morning, didn't you?"

"Yes mate, I double checked them all. Why, what's up?"

"There's no letter 'P' here for the Pizza sign, we've only got a letter 'B' instead. Shall we knock it on the head for today, get a 'P' from the factory in the morning and come back to this?"

"No mate, we'd best get back over to the London Brick Company futtin sharpish"

Sorry Bomma, I don’t get it?

Anyway, StuntwomanWife has had a test today and she isn’t pregnant.

No, that’s not right!

She has had a test today and she hasn’t got Covid.

As an aside Bomma, I have done some deliveries opposite the London Brick Company. I can’t believe how big that site was. Must have been something in its day.

I ran into the back of a post office artic years ago.

The Daf 95 I was driving came off a lot worse than the post offices trailer.

Wrote the bloody thing off. That was a fun phone call.

So I made an arse of myself in there.

I forgot what I ordered and had to ask if it was mine. This provoked a lot of laughter around the restaurant.

Someone shouted can you remember where your truck is?

So going along I shouted back, yes it’s parked right outside this window ( it’s now dark ) this caused gales of laughter.

Outside the window is the cattle market, I’d got disoriented and the truck park was the other side of the building.

What ho chaps!!
We're back and things went as well as could be expected, actually it was a very easy and nicely handled visit, reasonable price and got the flowers sorted too.
Mrs. Bobbers is starting to come to terms with it all and we're working our way through all the phone calls.

Battert is in the Village Hall auditioning. Anyone wishing to take part in the opera he has written have to sing to him through the window by the Candy Box, weather permitting.

That's us into lockdown for 4 weeks at least.
Schools will stay open though and I can go to work.
Every time we leave our home we have to have an attestation with us signed,dated and the time it was produced.

Bars and restaurants to close. I imagine all sports,social meets etc cancelled.

Not Tier 1 or Tier 2, just the Stalls. The singing through the window is in deference to Social Distancing. He hasn't revealed his plans for Covid Friendly performances though.

If all of England goes into lockdown again, i suspect i will be on enforced furlough a second time which wont be good.
I best start practicing for my new role, whatever it might be.
