It'll all be on tick! 

It's a long time since I've heard that expression -- I had forgotten about it!
Which only goes to demonstrate the decades that have 'ticked' by on my clock! So many in fact, that I am now classed as vulnerable.

Still quite a common expression around here  The povert stricken North East

Looking for the dog joke (with neck cone). Saw it on Rootschat last night, NZ time, and now can’t find it and want to cheer up a friend. Can anyone help? Gladyseva

I spoke to my 17 year old grandson tonight. We have not seen him for a week because of Social Distancing.

Chatting about how long it would be before we could meet up again properly he said "Don't worry granny tomorrow we will be a day nearer beating this disease and then I will come down to see you and grandad".

The positivity of the young but very true.

The old heat proof mats we used under bunsen burners when I was at school were made with asbestos and of course we still had mercury thermometers then too - and used to play "blow football" with the mercury droplets when a thermometer broke.

I remember blowing the escaping Mercury too!
