I seldom go out, so my ban on Saturday, will mean not much to me, my loving wife is out now buying bog rolls, and dysons parts ......
I worry about my son who has to work for now in IT as his small firm have not got to the stage of work at home as yet......

Are the oldies on here self isolating ?

 

[PITA]

Chronologically I'm approaching 54 (as I recall) yet never feel too young for this thread on the basis that almost every day I feel and act about 70.

Fixed that for you.

Kind of. Not cos I am poorly, as far as I know, but utterly paranoid about bringing it home and introducing Mrs R to it. Would not end well.

George and Mildred, I loved that show.

Her tight jumpers got me through some tough times.

(Although I did watch it on reruns 25 years later. I don't know if that reflects worse on me or daytime television).

Hope you're all well troops.

Breathing in clouds of vaporized flux from the welding I'm doing as I make the missus some gates for the garden. Due to the virus faff and a cough she's working from home ffs. Not so ill as to stop looking around and coming up with ideas.

(Was a good reason to use the mill though )

Not really yet, but as the percentage of infected people per 1000 of the population around me rises, I will review this.
We've all decided to be prudent and will sadly avoiding potentially germ laden grandchildren for a while.
But in general, more like not jumping into lifes mosh pit morning and afternoon if I can help it.
