I remember a picture book that showed Queen Boadicea's chariot with knives sticking out from the wheel hubs... I am sure the Ship's engineers could help you with a set that could be attached to the trolley.
Back when Dafling major used a buggy I thought that as a "celtic"(*) princess she was entitled to put scythes on her chariot. This may have been an unchristian thought when we trying to get to the bus after church in central Edinburgh during Festival season.
(*) not I think any more celtic than the average lowland Scot.
Bummer. I just received my COVID shot at the medical clinic yesterday, and came home to find out I had been exposed to COVID on Sunday. This morning I have a sore throat, and on Monday I felt sick to my stomach. Waiting for the test kit. I had a dentist appointment on Friday, and an appointment with the heart doctor on Monday. I need to cancel. It was a long wait to get both appointments.
Well, shit. I'm sorry.
I've got my COVID shot on Friday, as surgery's coming up--hoping not to catch it anyway in the two weeks intervening!
So far, so good. My sore throat is gone, and I've tested negative so far. The Dentist said Go away until the new appointment, at the end of October. The heart doctor said test on appointment day, if still negative, come in wearing a mask, if positive, we can do a phone appointment, but it's not the best choice with my bad hearing, but good to have a back up plan. He has all the test results already, so that is good.

About 2.5 servings per container. I see this more and more. What should one do with 2.5 servings? I suppose it could be two adults and one child. I think it is a way to cut down and keep the price the same as when most things said 3 servings per container.

Or it's to make it look healthier by reducing the energy value vs. 2 servings per container. Either way, it's nonsense, and it's because food manufacturers are allowed to make it up as they go along.
Difficult Relative has a genuine, serious, but entirely predictable, emergency this morning and asked us to confirm we could help, giving us less than 1 hour to confirm. And we've said no.
I did suggest to the NE Man two weeks ago that perhaps we should pencil "possible emergency" to our calendar, and he said there were too many variables for us to make a sensible "what we will do if DR has an emergency" so we didn't.
Apparently I could foresee a possible emergency, but DR didn't foresee it at all.
Husband noticed that one of the skirting boards in the kitchen has split. A quick investigate later and it appears that either our sink or dishwasher has slow leak, hence the wood swelling. As we only had the kitchen fitted this summer we've contacted the company and hope they send someone out pronto to sort it out for us.
Hope thedifficult relative's emergency gets sorted one way or another @North East Quine
I too have a tiny leak under my sink. My son took a look and told me that a round pipe connects into an oval shaped pipe. Crazy piping, put in by the kitchen people 12 years ago - so why starting to leak now? My plumber will be coming for the annual boiler service in a couple of weeks so I will get him to take a look. The units are fine but neither the plumbing nor the electrics were done properly, but there was no other option at the time of installation.
Some sort of sealant may have been used at the joint between the oval pipe and the round pipe, which I agree is a daft bit of *work*. IME such things are rarely 100% effective for long, so it may be that the sealant has begun to fail - hence the very slight leak.
There is a small leak between the cistern and the loo in the Ark. It has been partially cured on more than one occasion, but nowadays I simply place a J-cloth ( ) in the strategic position, to stop the drip from falling onto the floor, and replace the said cloth as required...
The artisan bakery from which we have bought bread since we moved here has closed. They'd had to raise the price of a loaf to over five pounds since the Truss budget so I blame government economic policy for not letting us have nice things.
