As the gummint has kindly allowed the DIY shops to remain open, our plans for selling the house are temporarily stuffed, I guess...

Captive audience at the moment, I'm receiving scamming lowlife both on the computer & telephone much more than usual. In times like this, these sort of people have no scruples whatsoever. nono

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.

We just flew back from there last Friday. The Portuguese seemed very efficient with sanitizer in the supermarkets/bars/restaurants etc.

From day one I haven't been totally convinced about this virus, many reports don't ring true, or add up. More research I've done the more I'm not convinced, lets hope I'm wrong. 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?

Mustn't grumble Mark laugh

A former uni student offered us messages (i.e. do some shopping laugh ) today and brought them by - all handed over proper (she safe-wiped the bags) and we pay straight into her bank account cool
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 shocked
I found it during a clearout under the piano laugh

Hi Simon, polishing aluminium Is time consuming to say the least. I used a drill with various grades of flappers then mops. Hang on in there...... smash

The Australian PM has just announced that all clubs, pubs, cinemas, churches, restaurants and cafes will close tomorrow from midday. Restaurants and cafes will only be allowed to serve take-aways. Off-licences will still be able to sell grog as these premises do not see large gatherings of people. Accommodation attached to hotels can still operate.

At this stage, schools will still be open.

More to follow!

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..... redcard

I think the NHS could very well suffer with a greater influx of people who are infirm, elderly or grossly overweight who have all having sat at home for years over indulging suddenly decided to take to the streets in lycra jogging when the message is now to isolate and stay indoors, the irony.

I'm really sorry to hear this Richard, she has been through so much recently as has your son. Life just isn't fair. I hope she recovers quickly and is back to full health soon.

Thanks, both. She’s got the at-risk text from NHS today but they were great when we phoned them to find out what she needed to do (go straight to hospital if she starts to get breathing difficulties). She’s still in good spirits.

It’s slightly odd behaving in a way that stops her giving us an infection rather than us giving an infection to her.

Seems Charlie has it too.

Advice to Eve was that being young was far more of a positive than the downsides of the drug she’s taken.

My mother on Skye is concerned that her food stores are down to about six months... I think she's expecting zombies. Though I point out she's got a garden (aka the swamp) full of ducks and she's always complaining about the deer breaking the fence... shame she gave the guns to the police a while back laugh

Well, I now have symptoms - relatively mild though I’ve taken to my bed. I think that’s all of us in the last few days and no two are the same. Frustrating not to have a test because, once you know you’ve had it, you could be one of the 250,000 volunteers etc.
