Locktail hour The time at which you allow yourself to have the first alcoholic drink of the morning. Day! We meant day. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/life/parlez-vous-lockdown-26-new-words-learnt-covid-19/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8276033/Do-know-pino-fridgio-doughverkill-Bone-latest-lockdown-lingo.html https://www.heart.co.uk/news/coronavirus/hilarious-list-lockdown-lingo/

Treat the rice a as a "lead item". Cook it in a rice cooker - the instructions will give you an estimated cooking time to work with, and the better ones have a countdown indicator, and a "keep warm" function , to help decouple your dependency on needing to serve the rice "right now" Would a PERT chart help?

Head case family plan? for any / all the streaming services ?

Made a socially distant supply run to Costco today A slightly surreal experience, the first time I've been out since the lockdown. People were socially distancing (mostly) and wearing face masks (mostly). Luckily we had some N95 masks left over from previous years fire seasons. Supply chain seems to be back in order (mostly) with 1 18 roll TP pack available per customer. "No refund" signs on items that were previously panic buyer's favourites. We managed to get some 20lb bags of brown and Jasmine rice, so that was good, and A few extra treats to make sheltering at home a bit more pleasant. One shopper was wearing a frogs head mask, so they may not have got the memo.
