A lot of big sporting and entertainment events have been cancelled, not because of risk of infection but the police, medics etc will be needed elsewhere. People are being brought home from holidays in affected countries who have closed all their facilities. It looks like a lot of major disruption for the foreseeable future, maybe til next year.

All of that is happening here too and they keeping schools closed until at least April 3rd.

I think it's probably about the same everywhere except that we aren't in lock down yet. They have ordered closures of hair dressers and dentists (except emergencies) and restaurants can only do take out. I work in a bank and they are reducing the hours.

Sorry for the absence but I've been quite unwell with my chest infection and have had more medication prescribed. To top that due to the food shortages in shops because of panic buying I ate something I don't normally eat today and was very sick. It must have had in one of my food intolerances. It was a quiche but checking the ingredients it contained rape seed oil and olive oil. Hope everyone else is keeping well.

Sorry you are ill Lesley. So far so good here.

Speaking of grocery shortages

[LWS53]

Well Boris has finally shut the stable door - lets hope the horse hasn't already bolted. All shops, restaurants, bars, clubs, take-aways have now closed their doors to customers. Only food shops, pharmacies etc are open for essential items and people are not allowed to congregate in public or even in their own homes to try to slow down this, in some cases deadly virus.

We just took our big bedding quilts to the launderette so I hope it is still trading tomorrow when we should pick them up. Hopefully it is classed as an essential service as some people don't have washing machines or machines big enough to wash bedding. We have all been told to stay at home until further notice with very restricted reasons for going out.

I'm quite over the sickness and pains which came after and my chest infection seems much better so hopefully the treatments do the trick. One of the main problems of this virus is that people with other illnesses are suffering too due to the health service concentrating on the Covid 19 virus and not having time for other routine services.

I heard about that, now if only Trump would get it, then maybe he might take it more seriously. And if he did, I wonder whose ventilator he would take.

We went shopping on Friday and got all the essentials for quite a long period of self isolation. I have tried my hand at soda bread, banana bread and fruit loaf (using the fruit I had left over from the Christmas cake) and all worked out well. my recipe book is really coming into it's own.

I'm the only one in my household that is still working. We are considered an essential service, but they have reduced the hours of operation. And we closed on Saturdays and that was one of my shifts, so I'm back to a two day weekend for a while.
