Pubs are still having lockins of a night. A couple round here are on the police radar....people coming and going and music can be heard.
Ignorant, arrogant, selfish arseholes.
Someone had a hot tub party in our village the other night.
Hot tubs = giant petri dishes

Funny story. I often claimed I'd been lured up here for pagan sacrifice.
The fool who came of his own choice bit was right but they got the virgin bit very very very wrong.
Summer is a cumin in......

If ever there was a message to stay at home it was brave young lady on Breakfast news Candice, I think her name is, talking about her mum dying OF Covid19. at only 58, it was heartbreaking.
STAY AT HOME

I saw that. She rightly said the numbers of the ddead are given out daily, and they are just numbers to the majority of people. But one of those numbers was her mum.
Every number is someone's mum, dad, child, sister, bother etc....and what compounds all the misery is people cant even be with their loved ones when they die, or arrange a proper funeral for them to say goodbye.

Thank you JD. I used to make and sell lots of cards, the last few years not so much, but I have a huge stock of beautiful bits and bobs I collected.
It's nice to get some of them out again and design something.

Anyone that creative is ok in my book.
Still you and Digs have to burn - females or not you should not run a forum.

I've taken down that artwork because it's disturbing.

How are people getting on self isolating?
This is the 7th week for me, and I cant say I have found it that much of a hardship. In normal times I am out and about at least 5 or 6 days of every week, and I thought staying home would be very hard, but it hasn't been, in fact, I am enjoying the peace and quiet.
There is hardly any traffic about, a distant motorway is almost silent most of the day, in fact birdsong and the occasional tractor working the fields are the loudest sounds to be heard now.
If it wasn't for the horrendous news that brings home exactly why we are self isolating, this could almost feel like an extended holiday.

I'm fine. I just get on with what I want to do, and ring my friends and family most days.

Most of the people I know are coping just fine. I can only think of two who are not just getting along well with it, both around 20 years old .
Phones are a life line, we have a weekly quiz on Whatsapp with family, my OH set it up ...and we take turns being quizmaster.

I know we badly need some rain, well the gardens do, but lockdown isn't quite so relaxing when the sun isn't shining.

For those of us who are following it - an increasing number seem not be, so if there is a second wave here it will be on their heads.

I find i'm constantly stressed, and my mental health is in a rapid decline. I'm classed as vulnerable because of a pre existing health issue, so I can't go out at all. I just want to live a normal life again.
