Guess who else is doing their 5 days penance? I've been doing a traceback and given I've been overly cautious for 3 years, and continue to do so, I've come to the conclusion that the only known positive case I've been in contact with is...you!
You owe me a beer for this. And don't try the 'but that's impossible, I'm 3,387 miles away' excuse.

Impossible!
Even my webcam has been wearing a facemask!
If we ever end up in the same town, I'd be delighted to buy you a beer (or several).

I can clearly see that mask hasn't been fitted properly.
How are you feeling?

Not too bad - I had my first -ve test this morning, and I'm nowhere near as bad as I was after the first bout. Dunno if that's the vaccines, or if the virus changed - but I'll take it!
How about you?

Day 5 and feel human again. I was taken out back and given an absolute shellacking. I do not understand why it's been so popular.

You may notice a small impediment to coding has been added recently ... He's 12YO, and discovered laps last week. Now I have problems keeping him off mine, and it makes typing really difficult.

If I had my phone to hand, I could practically match that photo. Except that my lap-warmer is white, rather than black.

I found this one back. The original cap. is somewehere mid 90's in Maastricht.

Caught any fish allready?
Then again, in Germany close to the borders of the Netherlands, they had a flood of about 3 meters high last year, rushing through the streets. * No really all this climate change is just humbug *. Whoehahahaha

Didn't see any fish, but many Eastern Brown Snakes, up to about 0.5m.
Unbelievable damage done by these floods, and the water won't get to the ocean until well into next year...

I know what it's like. In the '90s we had several floods from the Mosa river and the Rhine. I lived than in Maastricht. My feet didn't get wet. But the villages a few miles downstream had the water up to a meter high. Also there were several mudstreams in the villages, mainly because of silly ploughing by the farmers.
Government took than meassurements by broading the rivers. So the water couldn't rise so high.
But the violence of a swollen river is frightening.
The floods in Germany last year flushed away complete brick-and-mortar houses. This has never occured before.
It's time to take climate measurements, or else the human civilisation will be decimated.

It is indeed.
We have a river at the bottom of the garden and normally it is about 15cm deep, and maybe two meters wide.
The channel it runs in however ... that's 30m across, and maybe 8m deep.
And when it rains on the mountains, 6 hours later it's full, and moving like a train. It can rip out fully grown trees, and carry boulders taller than I am down stream. Impressive to watch from a distance; frightening close up!

We'd call that a creek over here. If you can't pilot a motorboat on it, it ain't a river.
