Normal times: my wife plays computer games 'x' hours a day.

Now: my wife plays computer games 'x' hours a day.

Me: how are you finding the social distancing and staying in?

Sweet Girl: Yes. (not listening to me because she's so focussed on an incoming enemy spacecraft).

You are so thoughtful. I'm sure your wife will react appropriately. Be prepared for a few breakages.

That's sweet, did it turn out well?

Very nice actually Murray, ta. Though to be fair, that's almost a bonus. The real win is anything that occupies an hour with 4yo twins!

Could you unofficially still be doing this? or would you wake up to a police helicopter or drone over your tent

I did think about it but my sister who works for the NHS said that it's about if I fall ill or get injured while out I am taking up NHS resources and also bringing people into close contact with each other, such as Mountain Rescue, or even just RAC if the car breaks down.

I live in North Yorkshire and they've been promoting today they are starting with roadblocks. If you get stopped on a non-essential journey the fine is £60 and doubles each time you get caught.

Ozark season 3 out now too I guess I'll be walking the dog (still) and whilst I won't be able to travel outdoors much I guess I will start going through my catalogue of old photos and find some I could edit or re-edit. Probably look at some lenses online too and dream about the day I can go outside again without needing papers (Nazi Germany anybody?).

Started Ozark season 3 last night

Ozark is ok, bit slow. For anyone that hasn't watched it yet, Westworld is brilliant, esp series 2.

For anyone that likes a comedy gangster film based in the UK by Guy Ritchie, I HIGHLY recommend The Gentlemen, absolutely brilliant.

Not sure for you in Spain but I think I rented it via Amazon (might have been through a VPN).

Been renovating the house next door, knocking down walls, putting up stud work, electrics, heating & plumbing, fitting new bathroom, skimming while I've been unable to work as boiler engineer except for gas safety certs. The biggest problem for me is getting materials as most suppliers are closed.

the biggest problem for me would be...

knocking down walls, putting up stud work, electrics, heating & plumbing, fitting new bathroom, skimming

tbf i could do the wall knocking down

Lol, that's something, I was in the building game for 10 years before I became a gas engineer so is really useful, especially the skimming/plastering.

Not a hobby as such but positive news:


"Kennels go empty after every animal gets adopted at Colorado shelter amid outbreak

No barks. No meows. Only human noises.

It’s rare to encounter a moment like this at an animal shelter.

Possibly the best news of the day, the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region (HSPPR) has found a forever home for every single cat and dog amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

HSPPR took to Facebook on Wednesday, thanking everyone who recently made adoptions from the shelter saying, “That’s right, Colorado Springs. You did it again! We emptied out our Cat Adoption Center on Tuesday, and last night, we adopted out every dog in our available dog kennel! Amazing! Just look at all those empty kennels. We can’t thank you enough for helping us find homes for all these amazing pets during this difficult time!”
