One good thing that's come from all this is it's close to some venues for the local special people voluntary group.  I finally went to a drop in they run.  Been 3x now, that's going to be a regular, it's every 2 weeks.  I also went out one evening to a get together of special people.  And, this afternoon, there's another social/volunteer group I'll check out.  It's been an eye opener meeting people "just like me" for the first time ever.  I can be as odd as I like and ... it's all perfectly normal   Such a relief to be able to go out and relax/not come away feeling "I c0cked that up, they all hate me, I'll never return"... 

I think, for the first time ever, I actually "look forward to" going.  I've spent my life dreading going anywhere as it's usually ended in disappointment/sadness as I didn't fit in.  Now I fit

That's good news Pastures. I wish there were a lot more groups like that.

Went out, enjoyed it. It's every week. 
There were about 15 or so, playing board games, sitting/chatting, no formal agenda, just a "turn up and hang out how you like" space.
Will go again.

I see the DM is reporting London's got its first person with a case of the coronas. 
They flew in 28th, so 15 days ago. 
My advice: Don't go out... it's too "peopley" out there

Too peopley! I love it!

wouldn’t the world be so much nicer without people! 
(Apart from a very select few, that is, Nice People accepted!  )

I am wondering whether to brave the supermarket, as I have a few gaps in my freezer.
It won’t be today, though, as I felt very unwell yesterday, and the weather forecast for today is pants.
Good job I’ve been keeping my year’s supply of loo-rolls topped up!

In my own home, I always feel you can never have too many.  Once I was selling and decluttering I stopped buying them and didn't need to buy any more while I lived there.  I probably had 100 or so   

As for you not feeling well ... hopefully not a Touch of the Coronas

No, deffo not that! It’s not a bug of any sort. Something that I’m waiting to be investigated.
I had an appointment for the hospital in March, but yesterday got a letter to say it had been cancelled, so had to make another one for two weeks later. Pain.
