Good morning all! I can't think of themes, so I leave that to @Butterfly or @BlackOpium since they opened recently.

What are your plans for today?
I'm wanting to get dressed :)
I bought this and want to buy some more https://www.poundland.co.uk/357856-plastic-drinks-dispenser/ 357856.jpg
I think it's super duper cool.

What is one thing you did or can accomplish today?
What is something you like about yourself?

Come bring some food and comfort along @Ash600 @Lux @Jedizen @bubblebear @cots @katyboots @Lilmeowmeow

I'm listening to ****** Hay now. And really want to get dressed to socially distance say hi to someone. Actually I can just put on a hoodie. Good idea.

Nice looking water dispenser, Inno!
Thanks for the tag :)

I'm using a tablet which like most tablets only has one usb port. The keyboard-case, keyboard is way to pokey to use comfortably so I've been using a rapoo brand blue tooth keyboard which simply doesn't function properly (well, most of the time). It disconnects, smashes out additional characters while typing, and often is a struggle to get it connected.

So I'm buying the only other mechanical type bluetooth keyboard that I know of on the market. It's the apple magic. It will be the third crapple magic keyboard I've purchased! The first was run over by my mate who was trying to get me out of the tent/bed while we were camping (mate's left to get macca's while I stayed and tended to the fire), but I went to bed after eating. The second replaced that one but my life circumstances changed and I simply wasn't using it. Then my mate wanted me to post a tablet to his daughter, in Queensland. It had a standing cover/case and I decided to contribute to it by including the bluetooth keyboard. Now I'm finding that I'm wanting to write again, and the usb gaming keyboard which I sometimes opt to use on the tablet absolutely drains the battery supply, I realise that I need a decent bluetooth keyboard, my preferred keyboard type is the mechanical sort, in case you weren't aware.

However, having used the apple magic in the past, I know I'm in for an awkward experience - all over again! The keys have good depression, and are clicky, however they're also over-sized and spaced apart as well. It's like typing on nothing less than a toy! If you ever find yourself using one, you'll notice the way you move your entire hand in order to reach the semi-local keys. It takes some adjusting to, while you're going about typing something out, you'll find yourself hitting adjacent keys because you simply didn't "reach" far enough to arrive at the key's actual location. What's more, the keyboard is expensive as all heck! To top it off, it also doesn't function perfectly, as you'll find yourself getting ahead of the text which is displayed before a bunch of text renders all at once - often scrambled!

Here's the over-priced crapple "magic" toy keyboard anways:

Are you using the usb port for anything? Maybe get one that attaches?

Thank you for the tag :)



I am planning to take a walk later - will be a bit tricky with my crutches but I'm determined to get some air and even slight exercise.

I actually cannot think of anything I like about myself eeeep.
Good luck with your walk!
I like your compassion, thoughtfulness and humour/wit.

Thanks for opening the cafe and inviting me @Innocent Forever

What is one thing you did or can accomplish today? Got through an episode of paranoia through the night - its gone now :)

What is something you like about yourself? I like..that when someone asks me to keep something confidential and private, without fail, I always do.

good morning/afternoon :D

I walked to a local shop to get some food and other bits. Got some things I needed like face cream and some things I didn't plan on but that were useful- a pot to put my makeup brushes in, an outdoor cushion I can use for stargazing, so that's good. I had to drag a huge bucket of bird food home, it really hurt my arms. I made small progress in that I plugged my phone in to charge.... I don't think I can face turning it on today but at least that's a start. It makes me feel so sick I covered it up with a tshirt so I can't see it charging *rofl*hiding

Also was my first experience queuing to get into a shop today with the social distancing, it was weird. Seems kinda pointless though when once you're in the shop people don't stay 6ft apart?!

I got a pack of these today and I would share... but there's only 2 left *bleh
