You've never seen that test where all the vowels are taken out of the words, but most people are able to read it very easily? As noted previously, most people's brains will automatically fill in the blanks.

Yes I know that one. But reading backwards would be strange for me. Or should I say 'indeed strange very'! How do you pick up grammatical errors reading backwards?

honestly don't know, but I don't think so...maybe I should reconsider my daily diet and rebalance certain things, drink more liquids, even probably, and instead of eating 80 g of pasta which is ok for me (although in Italy we say that with 80 g of pasta per person I can only tell you if it's cooked, :laugh:) and have only 70 g.

I doubt it is muscle vs fat. A lot of people are gaining weight during Covid, because it is harder to burn off as many calories as you take in with all the restrictions. It's not just you.

Here's proof of what caseydog said about gaining weight during quarantine impacting many people. ;-)

I spent three hours this morning, cleaning the kitchen top to bottom. It's about as spotless as it's going to ever be.

Want to do mine, now? It will be a challenge for your cleaning skills. Sometime during the holidays, a small tornado swept though my house.

On a serious note, for a good week after my surgery, I couldn't do much in the way of cleaning. I couldn't bend to do things like fill and empty the dishwasher. Things got stacked in the sink and on the counter. Same with laundry. The walking velcro also called a poodle brings leaves in from the yard, and I couldn't bend to pick them up, or use my full-size vacuum.

I can do those things, now, but once you fall behind, it is hard to catch up.

I’ve noticed that I’m gaining more weight during this second lockdown rather than the first one where I have been more stuck at home with no chance to have not even a long walk with my dog - now I can.. I’m a bit puzzled

I don't think I ever spent three hours cleaning any room. In fact I've never spent three hours cleaning in one go. I don't think you would like it in my house TastyReuben.

So am I but I think I've just been gradually accumulating it over the last 9 months. At first it didn't look so bad...

I also spent an hour cleaning the bathroom, and I've put away most of the outdoor Christmas lights, took down the tree (we're committed next year to just leaving it up in a spare room with a sheet over it), and I've picked up the living room, am about to dust, and then vacuum. Then I'll be done.

And I made chili today. 😬
