Just realized that had been called already!

Clues are up

12:19 am

cybernan

drawing a blank on the te - maybe tomorrow -- too tired right now

12:24 am

Gillie

Well, AHS got back to very swiftly with a negative result on my COVID test, so I guess I've just got a cold.

12:25 am

Lizlin

That's good to hear, Gillie :)

12:25 am

Gillie

Rarely has there been such an annoying time to get a cold, but I'm a dedicated chorister, so I can think of some others.

12:25 am

rururocks

that's good news gillie.. i'm glad it's just a common cold

12:25 am

Gillie

ty, Lizlin and ru

12:26 am

rururocks

must be a relief..

12:26 am

Gillie

Yes, although it seems that AHS would still prefer that I not leave my house until I have no symptoms.

12:28 am

Gillie

The provincial government's restrictions have been a weird mix. For the second lockdown, they were initially allowing restaurants, bars, casinos, etc. to stay open with reduced capacity, but all social gatherings at home were banned.

12:29 am

rururocks

same here.. Rules are different everywhere

12:30 am

rururocks

ok.. off to bed.. all done good night gillie.. feel better

12:30 am

Lizlin

Sleep well, Ru

12:31 am

Gillie

Thanks ru. Good night

12:31 am

Gillie

Strictly speaking, I couldn't have gotten my COVID test if I'd followed the rule not to leave my home with symptoms.

12:32 am

Lizlin

That doesn't make sense!

12:33 am

Gillie

I know, but they've been throwing this stuff together without a lot of thought in some cases.

12:35 am

Gillie

It's too bad COVID doesn't have really distinct symptoms we could rely on.

12:36 am

Gillie

Anyway, I think I've got enough words for tonight. Good night, all.

12:36 am

Lizlin

Sleep well - feel better soon

UK now vaccinating the 70+ - due on Wednesday - a small step towards normality perhaps

5:47 am

Haz1558

Let's hope so, Alleyn.

5:50 am

Haz1558

I've been interested to see all the different places being used. Getting vaccinated in a cathedral must be interesting.

5:54 am

Alleyn58

We just get the car park of a GP surgery quite a distance away but we'll be there!!

No problem.

Haz1558

Right, the housework is calling so I'd better go. All the best for Wednesday, Alleyn. Happy babbling!

Hi Dan.

8:05 am

Scrabbler

How is life in the DC area right now? Quite the military zone.

8:05 am

Scrabbler

Hi Une.

8:07 am

dan2bit

it is weird for the people who live and work in the impacted area, for sure. Out here in the burbclaves we aren't really impacted. maybe an odd extra helicopter here or there

8:08 am

Scrabbler

Photos and videos are surreal, what must be done for the "peaceful" transfer of power.

8:09 am

dan2bit

yes, it's more than we had after 9/11, which was basically a Hummer and National guard soldier on every corner in the downtown area

8:09 am

dan2bit

but none of what Y'all Quaida threatened over the weekend materialized

8:10 am

dan2bit

people losing their jobs and getting arrested seems to have damped enthusiasm among Stop the Stealies

8:11 am

Scrabbler

I have seen the list of arrests. Videos created the evidence.

8:13 am

dan2bit

I expect that Fortress DC will remain in some formation around the Capitol now whenever Congress or SCOTUS is in session. The security apparatus is ever expanding

8:14 am

dan2bit

but the Mall and "Green Zone" should return to normal relatively quickly

8:14 am

Scrabbler

The Civil War evolves, sadly.

8:26 am

mattygroves

Hi all. Would someone be able to give me a gentle wee nudge on the so7 please?

Mary

Thanks carla

9:49 am

hokie carla

and if so, somehow that will make tomorrow's list messed up unless lickety fixes it. but I don't know if he's still on vacation or not.

9:50 am

saanichcat

9:51 am

hokie carla

I haven't read today's chat so I don't know if anyone has mentioned an extra word or contacting him.
