Things can only get better

@HairyHandofDartmoor I would say the earlier the better as a lot of folks who are off work won't be getting up until later. Where I live come mid-morning there seems to be a constant stream of people passing by cycling, running, walking their dogs or just walking.  

Did a stint more weeding at lunchtime.  Mr SA is driving me nuts again, although he's gone for his afternoon nap now so enjoying the peace and quiet. He keeps hassling me to go to the shops to pick him some Lypsyls up.  Annoyingly I have loads of lip balms but he won't use anything but that particular brand. I'll have to brave it tomorrow for his prescription and a loaf of bread so will pick up then, that's if Savers are still allowed to open.

We are on a fairly popular local walking route.  Its starts off quiet till 9.30 or so, peaks at lunchtime and then is totally silent from 7pm.  We are doing our circuit at 7pm so I can watch the lovely sunset, but I watch the early morning stuff from the garden step with a coffee.

I walked mine about four thirty. It was quiet first off and then about a million people appeared from nowhere! My dogs aren't good with dogs, children, runners......people on bikes, people with large shopping bags...so yeah that was a bit of a stress! 
Sidebar - but the amount of dogs I have seen that I have never seen before is astonishing!

Bet the dogs are loving having their people at home....they’ll miss them when the world goes back to normal.
Has Mr SA got a grasp of what is going on in the world. Good luck getting his Lipsyl....

No milann, although he knows what’s going on, as he doesn’t really go anywhere anyway, it’s not affecting him. Thanks to me his meals are the same and he’s got his beer. It will come to the stage when something isn’t available and he’s not very flexible in that respect. 

Had a message from a friend today to say her ex DIL who lives in my local area is in hospital sedated and on a ventilator with the virus although doing well. She is worried about her GKs understandably. 

I just want it all to be over 😩

Sorry to read that

I'm sorry about your friend's DIL SA. It's very frightening for the family. My colleagues little grandson is in intensive care waiting for results to see if if he has the virus. The tests came back adulterated so he has to wait another week for the new test results. ☹️

You're coping so well in the circumstances - especially with Mr SA. 

I think we'll have a nation of very fit lean dogs when all back to normal!

Oh God that is awfully hard. !!!!!!. I hope she is ok.
Always sending you love SA, always XXX

It's frightening when you know of someone who has it, up until then it's all statistics 😥. I hope they feel better soon.

A friend of DS1's has an uncle who was on a ventilator in hospital with the virus, but he has come off the ventilator now, so that's encouraging news .

We don’t hear much about those who have recovered. Understandably they want people to take it seriously.
