There is a robin trying to solve the housing crisis by building a whole block of horizontal flats in our garage.

Pic please! 

Ah that might cause a slight problemette. I am writing this on a computer plus it is pitch black outside now and our garage doesn't have any lighting in it. It is actually trying to fall down. It may not have any foundations. They were not all that fussy about things like that in 1925.  What is holding it up at the moment is probably the one next door.  They were built as a pair. My house is odd.  A lot like me really.

Well, tomorrow then?

I will see if I can work out a way to do it.

PN has the 3rd food fest finished yet?  Are they likely to go for something like a midnight feast?

I predict there will be a lot of blocked toilets in the next few weeks, a lot of people buying tissues and kitchen roll to use as loo paper!

You can still buy newspapers I believe.

Equally as efficient in blocking the sewers!  👍

The only upside of the In-laws self isolating is that they can't buy the Daily Mail anymore.

Where are all the NPs?

There’s just a triumvirate on here today! 

I was doing my impression of being a stress head at work....we have a hand sanitiser, we have notices, we have gloves (latex so I can't use them) but customers were looking at me as if I was a drama llama when I was asking them to use them and moaning like mad when I insisted...I think the slightly deranged look on my face finally convinced them.

My hands are red raw and cracking from the constant washing after contact, touching anything, it had been 10 minutes since I last washed them and now the constant use of deep cleaning materials for our place in between each customer (and sometimes whilst they were still there but have moved on to another machine). My head was all over the place by the end of the shift and I have become so anxious that my OCD has gone into overdrive....we had to go back 2 hours after my shift ended to make sure I had locked up properly because I had only checked twice instead of my usual 3-6 times but I just couldn't settle until I had checked again.

Pastures can you sit in the back diagonally opposite the driver with the window open?

Sue, I’ve been thinking of you a lot.

I hope my wittering on about hand-washing and deliveries and worrying hasn’t made things worse for you. Many apologies, if so. Plus germ-free virtual hugs.

I think I'm going to have to. It's wet out there and I don't have plasters for my foot, which would rub raw again within a mile. 

I'll just be super careful and recognise I'll wish I wasn't so weak and ridiculous that I couldn't simply walk a paltry distance in a bit of rain.

I think the horse has bolted, re London.... if you're going to do a lockdown, you should, kind of ... keep it a bit quiet.  With all the warning/notice in the paper many will just up and run. 

Any NPs cancelling journeys to London in case they get stuck in crowds to get out?  Maybe that was the plan: advertise it and people won't come.

Have you any plastic gloves you could wear? And take your hand gel with you.
