Questions for 7 - 9 October

Late again...

A bloody annoying moron
Yesterday was a lovely sunny day (gotta grab those when they come up, in wet and windy spring)  so we went up the valley and had lunch at Omarama. I was very annoyed though by the woman serving at the counter who wore her mask under her nose - and compounded the insult by taking it right down to talk. I pointedly did the same but it didn't seem to register. Everyone else there, staff and customers not eating, wore theirs properly. Grrr.

7. What’s your favourite kind of cheese?
I can't pick just one! Pretty much anything that has a flavour: parmesan, gruyere, emmentaler, aged gouda, brie, ricotta, you name it. Just no to the flavourless (like that horrible mild soapy stuff - ugh - the golden delicious of cheese!) and smoked. Why are so many things smoked now?

8. Have you ever boycotted anything?
Only as in not buying products. I've boycotted Cadbury for years, like many other NZers, since they closed their factory here and put so many people out of work, and that's not to mention the palm oil and the inferior quality to excellent NZ chocolate like Whittaker's.

9. Do you have any embarrassing usernames?
I suppose Vilakins is pretty twee. But then it's never used by anyone else so it's very useful.

Three more tomorrow should catch me up.

At my work we have to wear masks now (as essential workers we carried on through level 4) and there are lots of others who wear theirs under their noses or around the chin. I'm one of about four who wears a mask correctly and keeps it on except at meal breaks; apparently the other shift is even worse at wearing masks.

Cadbury is definitely inferior. I'm not boycotting them, I just never bought their chocolates anyway...
