Hi, went out with my nephew yesterday for a “couple of drinks” & came home having consumed more than my body weight in beer :roll:
Slowly recovering on the sofa watching strictly :cry:

Ha! I have had the same! Coughing and breathing both terrible for the last 5 days. Cup of tea for me though.

Only first day back at work today (well, my workshop). Did a 2010 Ford Ka rear wheel cylinders, rear brake shoes and front left hand CV joint and gaiter. Then 4 shockers on a 2005 suzuki swift, then visited my 98 year old Mum in a local care home...then sat down, and, like John, I am not moving!
