My Schrodinger dilemma

We had left-over moussaka for dinner last night. I'd eaten a bit when I decided I wanted more salad to go with it. I took my plate into the kitchen, filled up, caught my sleeve on the door handle, threw my dinner on the floor.

Should I admit exactly how long I seriously considered scooping it up? No, better not, the hairy state of our floors.

George enjoyed the moussaka but carefully licked his way around the salad.

I had to have Maltesers instead. Which means I now only have one box left and I am left with a Schrodinger-type problem: I both want to eat them and not want to eat them.

Nothing like Schrodinger's cat I suppose. But at least I know I am alive.

Today I notice President Trump has recommended drinking disinfectant to get rid of coronavirus. I only have pine and don't think I fancy that so shall put lemon-scented on my order.

I thought Boris Johnson was bad. My sympathies to my American friends.

Here's a fire (seaweed) breathing dragon for you.

Thanks for the sympathy, Liz. We can only hope that Trump takes his own advice. What a moron!

My sympathy over the lost moussaka. I share your loss… literally. Now all I can think of at the moment is a lovely warming plate of either that or lasagne.....

One has to worry about the state of the country with the big orange baby suggesting opening up bodies so the sun can shine inside and/or injecting bleach. On a more pleasant note - I love the seaweed breathing dragon!

Oh you poor dear, being forced to eat Maltesers for dinner! When will this torment end? LOL

Leaving the cat out of it, as George is a dog,
the Schrödinger equation is a linear partial differential equation that describes the wave function or state function of a quantum-mechanical system.
There are no necessarily integral solutrons and the floor function is not used,
so there!

I think Trump is seriously losing the plot, or deliberately playing silly games, either way he is not fit to hold the post of President. I had the same dilemma with wine, I only have one bottle left, I wanted to open it, but I wanted to save it, I crumpled and opened it!! Great photo of the 'dragon'.

Polly--He's not fit to hold the position of dog-catcher!
