One of the advantages of the lockdown is that the mother is finally getting to the bottom of her giant chest freezer.

There were 9 people at my dad's funeral.
We had to sit 2 metres apart.
We couldn't hug or comfort each other when we cried.
My grandad had to watch his first born son's funeral via a video link.
We weren't allowed to have a wake afterwards.https://t.co/mTfN7QBM8e

I’m finally getting some decent results producing 100%-edible iridescent tempered chocolate. The colors are from the chocolate (not any ingredient or coating) diffracting light after being forcefully molded onto a diffraction grating in vacuum. pic.twitter.com/6wpbsIKh5C

Eight weeks ago, @cat_nolan and I made a difficult decision for her and Francesca to move out due to the COVID risk I was bringing home.
My greatest fear at that time was missing Francesca’s first birthday 1/11 pic.twitter.com/FPKVQwsyxC

Stay home, protect the NHS = I should stay at home to protect the NHS.

Stay alert, control the virus = I should… drink lots of coffee? Stay awake in case it breaks in? Somehow communicate to the microscopic virus particles that they shouldn’t approach me?

OK totally ridiculously minor comment. But as a numbers geek, I did find launching a discrete scale of 1 to 5, then immediately saying we're at a 3.5 frustrating. We could've done a 1 to 10 and said we're now at 7.

Now we’re all allowed to do unlimited exercise, we’ve developed an intense full body workout plan:

LEGS: Walk to the fridge

NECK: Look around fridge

SIX PACK: Grab a six pack of something

ARMS: Close fridge

LEGS: Walk back to lounge

Perform 3 reps an hour

Interesting having someone opposite Boris Johnson who's got a real eye for evidence and detail, what with those two things being Kryptonite to blusterers, narcissists and fantasists. https://t.co/AJXFRjD72b

We’ve got such a culture of never admitting you’re wrong/never being allowed to be wrong. ‘The Tesco guy said the Contactless limit was £25. But in a HUMILIATING U-TURN he later admitted it was thirty.’

Lucozade is trending, so I’d just like to say that I still absolutely stand by the fact that you can roughly determine the age of someone by whether they see Lucozade as a sport energy drink or something their mum let them have as a kid when they were poorly.

Both Canada and Denmark claim Hans Island. Periodically, each country will send an expedition, replace the other country's flag with their own, and leave a bottle of alcohol for the next visitors. (Canada favors Canadian Club, Denmark schnapps; photo by Toubletap.) pic.twitter.com/gmwiZR7LWy
