    Hmm, addendum and correction to the above. If you use the search function within Amazon Prime Japan to get to the Expanse it takes you to the abovementioned Japanese-only partial version. However, if you simply scroll through the list of Amazon originals it will let you find an English version.

    I don't understand.

    @Kinzvlle oof. That's tough. Good luck with the compartmentalising. It sounds like you've got yourselves in a great position to deal with it. :bigsmile: Don't forget to write about feeling anxious and shitty!! If things are going to get weird and hard you might as well reap what little bit of benefit you can for a later character. Hang in there!!!

    while walking the dog this morning (in quiet rural devon) I met another dog walker, he said morning, I said morning

    then he said "You don't say much do you?"
    "excuse me?"
    "Why'nt you talk to me huh, huh, you got a problem"
    "I'm just walking my dog bruh, no problem'

    Next thing I know hes in my face shouting the odds, effin and jeffin and he's gonna kick my ass and all of this.

    I'm like "look man, there's no issue, just walk away and leave me be"

    So my dog growls because this ass hats shouting in my face... and he goes "if that thing growls at me again I'm gonna kick the shit out.."

    That was it, threaten me, whatever it happens, ive no interest in a macho dick measuring contest... but don't threaten my dog.

    I can't say exactly what I said next without having to ban myself, but suffice to say I gave a frank and robust riposte, and suggested he walk away while he still could.

    He walked away..

    You expect it at o dark thirty in the town centre, but 8am in the devon countryside ?

    I have to say this guy wasn't local... I think he is staying in the holiday cottages up the road.

    What an absolute t**ser he sounds like. Hopefully he won't head Dorset way.

    Wallet went through the washer and dryer. Licenses and cards are OK, anything paper is mush.

    That sucks so bad. I've just gotten mine damp or wet, and all the notes and ink from pretty much everything makes it all illegible. :(

    It's not that I'm scared of getting the coronavirus, it's the uneasy feeling I have that I'm doing something wrong in all this business surrounding it. I have no idea what the hoarders are doing with all that toilet paper, I think they're wasteful and crazy--- but what if they know something I don't????

    Cause TP is cheaper than Kleenex, and lots of people
    carry a roll for blowing their nose.

    Mind you, those poor people that could use a roll for
    what they intended it for, are going to be sorely disappointment.

    Vodafone is demanding money from me again, for a service I don't receive, for a contract I can't get out of.

    My electricity bill came through. Apparently I owe them more than a months rent for 2 months electric. I call bullshit, as the highest bill I ever had was 220 euros. This one is for 550 euros!!

    And I can't access my online banking, because my phone won't receive any texts or calls! They have this pointless system where you have to prove yourself every 90 days by entering a code sent to your phone.

    Basically, wherever money is concerned, I'm fucked. :bigfrown:

    Ye gods and little fishhooks! Is there any way you can present yourself to the bank in person? Or to the Vodaphone store?

    Or has your neck of the woods gone into semi-quarantine like most everywhere else?

    The bank is the post office, so yes I could. But what I need access to is the digital wallets (where I have my savings, rent and bills money), which I couldn't get in branch.

    Vodafone are useless online or in person, so I don't know what the answer is there.

    I think you said you can't receive texts or messages; does that mean you can still call out? Maybe you can switch services, tell Vodaphone you're gone if they don't straighten out your bill.

    If you do switch, do it before you cancel with Vodaphone. Otherwise your account and phone will be dead and you won't be able to transfer your number, data, contacts, etc., over to the new carrier.
