Most importantly of all: I have a board in my garage; Ben has no training aids whatsoever. It is my sincerest hope that when we emerge to the rock he will be a complete weakling and I will be a complete beast.

You wish. I'll tear the door frames from the walls if I have to.

Another positive of all this - we skip lime season and have back to back grit  :2thumbsup:

That is actually a very good point.

Traditionally it's also been a hapless klutz who drops the ball, misses the call and can't do more than one season without quitting, but I think those are optional.

I mean, I know the calling of the lime is traditionally marred by farce, but fucking hell...

Time for your dad to come and build you a board in the garage Ben, just make sure you don't go near him while he does it.

Mine is progressing rapidly. More grey than I would like to admit. Wonder if it will improve my science. More stroking required to thoroughly test.

In my 50 years I’ve never grown one!

No time like the present. Quite literally!

For you potential beard growers - if you plan on wearing a protective face/mouth mask while venturing out for essentials I've heard having a beard negatively impacts the protective seal.

I'm currently spending a lot more time on ukb, and randomly contributing.
This may be positive.

I was brought a homemade hot cross bun at my desk today. Hot from the oven and dripping butter.

I was reminded of this classic DG video. Good fingerboard inspiration from 30s on...

For the carer - its all about little targets. Make it to Lunch. Make it to Nap time. Make it to when partner comes back home. Beer.

Got a bird feeder in the garden, don't often get chance to see who is having what. That has all changed now. Got some regular robins, the local fat pigeon pair, blue tits, sparrows, coal tits, and occasionally a visiting magpie and a jay. All whilst I've been working from home. Mega.

She’s laughing hysterically one minute and crying and moaning the next. So temperamental. And not napping as long at mo. Then the Mrs finishes work in other room and goes for a 45 minute walk. I’m gonna be loopy in a few weeks.

Doylo. I feel your pain. Finding something to hook them up with on the TV, while simultaneously preventing yourself from throwing something through it is key for mental health.

I recommend:
Ben and Holly (prime)
Super hero squad (disney+)
Boss Baby (Netflix)
Sarah and duck (I player)

Ye Netflix is on a lot but obvs don’t want her staring at TV all day. I’ve got it good here really, can get to the beach from the estate for the daily exercise, just my heads melting by 5. It’s definitely a lot harder than going to work   ;D

Yup.
My parenting style is best described as slightly chaotic, we kind of had to land on our feet (3 under 2 at one point, now we have 4) games that seem really messy, but actually clean up well work. As does no carpets. How old is yours?

I've fond memories of the twins doing bum prints as toddlers, and having to hose them down afterwards.

2 and a bit . She was a nightmare baby, good fun now when not screaming/moaning. Just not used to being a full time dad.
