    We Try to eat dinner as a family every day.
    Dinner in the evening is the only way. Same when I was a kid at home growing up. Dinner was held back to let as many sit, chat and have dinner as a group. That’s going back over 40 years so I don’t think it’s a “new” thing.

    Same as this - dinner was always after school, around 5

    Now that I am working from home, dinner is still 5 - we could eat at 1 as we are both at home now, but the kids are in school. I prefer to sit down and everyone eat together. Was always a thing in our house growing up, and I really liked it...

    Here is a question - did ye have specific places at the table, that you would always sit at? ;)
    I thought everyone did, but it seems some families dont?

    Yes.
    We have specific places but in two layouts. If we’re eating a shared meal like pizza or finger food we sit different pattern than if we are having a regular dinner on a plate setup.

    I wonder have many people working from home gone back to have dinner in the day?

    I think it’s idea that you must have a dinner (meat & veg) everyday
    Having a small dinner at 130 now with a small snack at 7

    Stomach empties in 2/2.5 hours after eating. Doesn't mean you eat 7 times a day. Generally four, breakfast and dinner 5/6pm are the biggest.

    Not yet. A friend dropped his one to us yesterday evening. He has his cows dried off so isn't using it at the minute.

    Knew an elderly couple who would head to bed early.

    They would bring a flask and ham sandwiches with them for a late night snack.

    Yellowstone is a great tv series at the end of the day.

    Well written, great characters, good actors, rough out, nice scenery, relentless.

    My nephew had a serious accident with a skil saw yesterday, four fingers on his left hand partially severed,
    He's facing a eight hour procedure in James' hospital this morning, he was only 5mins from Portlaoise hospital and but for their treatment, james' claimed they wouldn't be able to save the fingers

    +1
    Happens so quick, lad that fitted our kitchen had only 1 finger on his left hand. Medicine has come a long way since, hopefully he'll get full use back.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    I know 2 lads that have had similar accidents but were not lucky enough to be able to have them re attached. He will have a long road of physio and rehab I would imagine.
    Best of luck to him and all of the family because the worry for his parents, wife, children etc will be tough on them too.
