  • The title was changed to What Are You Doing While in Isolation?

Bought a bundle of stuff from my hardware store, so I have shelving units to assemble to sit out my shed, and need to purge my before patch and replant winter vegetables. Bought paint and decking oil to oil our deck and paint the window boxes externally.

Other than that...

Working from home, and doing more hours as a result.

Spending a lot more time with my kids. This is normally a good thing, buy it's not in this situation they are driving me up the wall.

Probably spending more time reading about the corona virus than is good for me.

Working from home constantly. A bit of a chore considering the usual role entails going out and about.

Aside from work:

On Netflix more.
Playing board games with parents...a lot of Scrabble. Might invest in some more games as might be in this situation for a bit longer!
Watching a lot of re-runs of games/highlights I have recorded on BT or MOTD.
Trying to exercise a bit more (also linked to the work situation)
Cleaned out a lot of stuff from my room today - clothes to be given to charity and a lot of stuff accumulated over months/years.

Sorry, went out for a beer on the balcony xD

I haven't done it for a loooong time. Last time I built an actual model was probably over 20 years ago. But I agree, it's very calming... Hence why I decided to order some again!

Around 8 square meters. Well it's more of a loggia than a balcony haha. 

So get new models and start doing it again!!!

Reading, sleeping, coming on here, eating, reading again, talking to the daughter & grandsons via Cam Corder on here and the mobile, watching a lot of Netflix & Youtube movies, nipping downstairs just to stand next to the communal back garden for a few minutes to see a bit of sky and get some fresh air, by the time this virus thing gets sorted out and we will be allowed back out again the first port of call will be the barber's shop to get my hair cut as by then I will look like an old grey-haired hippy.

Used to do that when I was around 14, normally Airfix kits, tanks, planes, ships, soldiers, I would assemble them all and then paint them, my bedroom was littered with them, I had models of German Panther & Panzers I, II, III, IV, American, Shermans and British Churchills, aeroplanes hanging from my bedroom ceiling if they were all having dogfights, British Spitfires, Blackburn B.24, American Mustang, German Messerschmitt's etc.

I ordered a treadmill on the 19th which I'm hoping will be delivered before Wednesday.

When it comes I'm going to start doing C25K. Other than that it's just business as usual for me. I work from home anyway so nothing has really changed other than I can't go to the cinema.

I friend of mine had his bike taken by the police because he was out for no reason.

Seems a bit harsh to have his bike taken... do they make sure they escort you home or drag you off then if they catch you out because if not he is still out but now he just has no bike?? What's the rules?? 

People here are still not taking it seriously... I went to the newsagents this morning about 7am and it was pretty quiet. Felt like a Sunday morning, then when I was back down the shops at around 10am to get some bread there seemed to be quiet a build up... I have just got back from walking the dog about 30 minutes ago and there were a lot more people out, I just don't think that some people are getting the seriousness of it all?? I will be popping down to Tesco's with the missus about 3pm and if it's busy out again I might start dobbing people in to the old bill....

They've made zones in the city they are laxed in areas with grocery stores, pharmacy etc but there the police has made it clear that it's the shops responsibility to make sure social distancing etc but if you are outside of that area you better have a good reason of being out. 

Nope they only dropped him off where they find him.
