    Trying to organise meet ups with friends and they sack you off with excuses one by one. Why is it such a non-starter trying to get people to socialise irl any more?

    It is more than fun though, I think it is essential. Things have got much worse since covid. Some people are turning into almost hermits: work, home, work, home, supermarket (maybe, if not home delivery) work, home etc.

    No socialising outside work, which can be very limited anyway based on your job and if you are full time WFH is non existent.

    No exercise, gym or hobbies/pursuits that involve meeting others. It is very hard to get out of that lifestyle once you get sucked in and it can be really bad for your mental health if you are single and living like that.

    I agree, I have basically worked every Saturday morning for the last year (un-voluntary), meaning if a pal wants to go for a pint on a Friday (a more common night at my age), I can't because work next morning. One guaranteed lie-in in the week, meaning I'll pay for it if I go out of a Saturday night too. I feel sorry for the wife as we basically have one night window per week to do something fun.

    My TA: house seems to be inundated with those small moths that float around aimlessly, enough to always be caught in your eyeline watching TV.

    Check your pasta, rice, flour, etc. That's very likely where they're coming from. The eggs are already in there when you buy them (it's the amount of insects in food considered to be within the tolerance levels), and when they hatch it's hellish trying to get rid of them.

    They could also be clothes moths.
