Nod's mother is difficult.

1. Religious loony (Welsh)
2. SUffers from extreme anxiety (multiple meds)
3. Eccentric (but not in a nice way)
4. Hostile and confrontational
5. Racist and xenophobic

She is now at home alone with terminal cancer.  She is unaware that it is terminal cancer.

On the advice of her GP Nod contacted Macmillan Nursing and they will be sending someone in every day starting Tuesday  :thumbsup:

I asked Nod if his mother was aware of this.

"No, it will be a surprise for her."

What can possibly go wrong?

Nod has heard a rumour that his favourite local pub is doing an experimental reopening using its outseide area only. It also has an outside bar.  In preparation for this he has ordered 50 facemasks.

I asked him why.

"So I can wear a mask at the pub!"  :thumbsup:

So how will you have a drink?

"I may not have thought this through."

Seeing as he is that paranoid, if memory serves from my cadet days the old S10 gasmasks come with a built in drinking straw and you can probably get one on Ebay.  After all, it isn't as if the pair of you aren't going to get odd looks anyway...  whistle:

Google translate is a wonderful thing, just point the phone at them



and you'll likely see they're not instructions but all the certifications.  That's what they were on mine.  And how many have I actually worn?  Zero
