    I feel stressed tonight my DD is a keyworker a nurse but in a community service . Some of her colleagues have been sent into hospitals to join in the testing. This means she may have to go to work rather than wfh. She had no childcare for DGD who is 3 as her nursery closed . Her husband is a keyworker . How is she supposed to work if she has a child at home . DGS would have to go to school. 

    Anyway two lots of shopping done , mine and parents , that was stressful as well. People don't understand 2 metres apart, I must have walked miles avoiding people. Parents seem in good spirits , we had a doorstep 2 metre chat. 
    Went for a walk again , I should be fitter after all this is over. 

    I am of course pleased to still be safe and healthy. 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

    I hope that DD doesn't have to go into work. She can't though if she has no childcare surely?

    I agree with you about shopping being stressful. Some people don't seem to have a clue and come far too close 😱. The virus will keep on spreading if they keep this up 😡.

    I'm glad you had a chat with your parents :).

    A terrible time indeed ☹️

    I’ve found it’s the elderly who don’t observe the social distancing yet they are the most vulnerable.

    Please let this be over soon 🙏

    I find it's all ages SA. A teenage lad passed within inches of me today, but I was trapped against a railing and short of throwing myself over the railing I couldn't get away from him 😡😱.
