This is my very small world, tho, and I never forget that many people are living in terror and that there is a very big picture being painted out there.
And social media is a broken record of nonsense on repeat, not that there is any change there, mind you.
Still...eating lots atm
Just wish I was a better poker player ....
I really feel for the people who are out of work through no fault of their own and hope the government packages are at least providing some relief.
We are slightly worse off as my missus is on the vulnerable list so she is shielding for 12 weeks. It's a concern because I live in a small town with 3000ish people and we have 1 confirmed case who is now recovering at home plus his missus and sister are now showing symptoms. I know the lad and he doesnt know how he got it. As it's a small community you can imagine the reaction when word spread of the case, people were on fb demanding to know who it is, which is poor form as the poor bloke already feels bad and was worried about other peoples reactions. To be named and shamed on social media is the last thing anybody needs.
? . 2. Have been since 2008
? . 3. Unfortunately no
? . 4. All I can say is for me nothing has changed apart from taking extra sensible precautions like not going to Tesco 5 days a week for that days dinner as no point shelves have been cleared of the basics and far to many people crammed into a small space ..
Since getting back from Manchester SPT I've had to repair the fence around our garden taken longer than I expected as weather been bad , I was given orders by my other half to make the garden more inviting so been putting decking in down one side but its a sloping garden so have had to terrace it 2 x 4.8mtrs x 4.8mtrs terraces looks fantastic but now to get path finished but cannot get any materials in to finish it.. looking on the bright side if the weather stays nice like it is now can spend more time in garden might even get the pool up and running .
As with all things in life my attitude is it is what it is ,, we will get thru this well most of us will .. so stay safe everyone
Today we've got a closed down text.
If we need to build makeshift hospital rooms we have walls and doors in stock ready to go.
I doubt if I'll be summoned to help, but I'm able and willing should the need arise.
@rabdeniro probably put it better than I could, to be fair.
All they need to know is that the poor bloke is on the mend, isolating at home, as are his family. Who it is isn't really any of their business.
That's what small towns are like though, everybody wants to know everybody else's business.
I forget this sometimes and my brain swells up with worry.
We may not have cash/turnover atm, but so lucky to be self isolated by geography!
Tiny village, 62 houses, no shop, pub or streetlamps,1 church(closed) and lots of access to countryside walks. So fortunate we don't have a difficult living situation, like some
My son and his partner 'working from home' and self isolating in a tiny north London flat-test of their relationship for sure!
I'm also looking forward to when we can go to the official opening and BBQ in @HANSON Will's new garden
Can I call you out please....I got a major fault with my poker game that needs fixing!
Oh stop it please, my sides are aching. I'll give it 2 weeks before she gives me a rolling pin to the head or such like.
We though are fortunate, got money to pay the bills for the foreseeable future and the frezzers well stocked.
Thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Stay safe.

My wife was in hospital last week and had a Covid19 test, it was very scary , luckily it was negative. We are both at home.
My boss has “ Furloughed” all staff and is looking into whether he can claim the 80% wages, we have a meeting planned for tomorrow am.
My good lady is “ Lucky” that she works for the fire service and will be paid for her time off, she will start working from home from Thursday .
It’s impossible for me to work from home, heavy machinery won’t fit in our front room, and gorgeous grandson is not trained up yet 😊.
I hope everyone is keeping safe and enjoying poker at the same time.
I've never seen so many joggers, cyclists, dog walkers and families out for a walk, strangers, it's weird, it has changed dramatically,
Phone support for vulnerable people? I didn’t sign up for this strand...already too many people at risk without me adding more to It!
Delivering medical equipment- even I can do that
Collecting and delivering supplies/ prescriptions etc- yep..that’s ok as well....
Should find out early next week whether I'm furloughed or not. Apparently those going onto 80% are not permitted to do any work whatsoever so I think the company will keep a handful of staff on and furlough the rest for the foreseeable future.
What's actually left of the travel industry once this has passed remains to be seen so it's very much a flip on the long term job prospects.
Extra time at home does mean I can troll certain posters on the forum though, every cloud and all that.
No - I know the NHS haven’t actually said that in their correspondence to the 1.5m vulnerable adults 60 or over who they have contacted....BUT my daughter has a senior role in the NHS...
