Ah, she'll be fine!

Me and the wife were in Portugal on holiday when this started to get serious in Europe. We had opportunities to leave but decided to stay.
No idea how long we will be here but so far so good. We realize that we could be here for months but quite happy with that.
We are still free to walk about so dog walking is no problem. Hopefully it will remain relatively free to at least get out for a walk every day. We’ll see.

Anyway we all need to look outside the box.

Hi Simon

Yes it's been a bit damp down here!
Cabin fever had me digging the garden as the sun has come out at last!
Hope all is well with you?

A former uni student offered us messages (i.e. do some shopping ) today and brought them by - all handed over proper (she safe-wiped the bags) and we pay straight into her bank account
My daughter's back over from Holland which is a relief but we have Dubai family too who work with Radisson - not a great time for them when they're forced to lay off staff as the trade is dead. And in Dubai there's "no unemployment" which means if you're not an Emirati you go back home when you have no job.

In these workless days I've started something I swore I'd never do again - polish a plenum
I found it during a clearout under the piano

We’re in isolation as my daughter has “classic” covid symptoms (new persistent cough, fever). She’s in good spirits but worried because the anti-leukaemia drug she is still on (3-year regime technically puts her into the at-risk category.

B&B & caravan parks are being closed up here due to Southerners coming up to the Highlands to try & hide away from the virus. My Soninlaw told me that you cannot buy a food freezer anywhere in Inverness or surrounding area.....

Polishing a plenum ....almost sounds like a euphemism!
Keep well.
