    The internet has been painfully slow here tonight, all the panic buyers doing their online food shopping on every supermarket site I reckon.

    I am quite happy at home at the moment, but after  few weeks I might not be so. Painted a few fencing panels , cleaned and polished the car . Ok while the weather is nice, south facing garden gets hot even today.

    Lol I've been doing things to occupy myself. Mainly because of the depression I got recently. I was talking to one of the girls in my college class about liking one of the girls in our group 😂. Can sort of say it now if the girl I was attached to is married now.

    At least you're pacing!  I've seen so many people cleaning cars and windows and doing the garden etc, they'll run out of stuff to do in a few days time!! 

    It's times like these I really wish I had to garden, both to tidy and just to sit in.  I could take my folding camp chair into the communal car park but it's just not the same! :laugh:

    I'm assuming you're still working during the week though?

    Oh yes, could take a few weekends . Lol 

    I'm at work doing an 11 hour day at the moment as we so busy. But can't see being like that for much longer. Making the most of it while I can nearly doubling my wages.

    Both Wifey and I are heading out for our 5th night in a row with many more to come.
    Wifey is having to take an enforced rest day every 6th shift due to working on a C19 red ward.
    I am likely going to be constant duties in order to keep public order plans on track.
    Our collective increased overtime wages will be well received but a bit hollow when we can't go anywhere to enjoy the fruits of our labours.
    Was due a Cyprus holiday in May, 99% sure that it will be cancelled. [emoji17]
