I was more thinking that, with all the social distancing that's needed to slow the spread of the virus, there's going to be more video-chatting (as opposed to actual meeting).

 

Oh yes definitely. Thanks for the technology to give us possibilities to check on ours loved ones without having to wait for a pigeon to find his way back and forth.

The poor pigeons are out of a job. Now I know why French people like to eat them.

But of course it could never replaced a warm hug or a kiss. 

I never had pigeon... I imagine it must be like chicken 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hey, Bumble B.

The stress levels are through the roof as we try to move towards working from home. Some folks not really understanding the realities of life and demanding to take large printers home with them. And yes I do mean the photocopier/printer.  I am so glad I’m not in IT. They are really under pressure to make things happen quickly.

I take deep breaths and remind myself that people are scared and that’s why they are arguing with each other

My role seems to be about pastoral care

Good morning, all!

Blue skies here. Looks like I'll spend a lot of time in the garden.

Friday would normally be my day to meet a few friends for lunch. But these aren't normal times...

[...] But how did you manage to move the cookers ?

They aren't all really that heavy...

It was really a case of tilting one end, and then "walking" it along the floor and through the doorways.

And I'm sure the delivery man would have let me use his "dolly" to move the new cooker into the kitchen, and to bring the old one to the front door, had I been unable to move them by hand (I would have offered to wear gloves).

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is what I mean by a dolly, should anyone be confused.

 I call those dollies too, although some people call them hand trucks. I have a bunch of Moving Men (no... not the herd  ) and they work quite well for moving large, heavy furniture I couldn't otherwise move myself.

Now that I'm working from home, I'm wishing I hadn't disassembled my desk and put it in the garage.   I'm currently using TV trays as my desks.  One of my goals today is to get some semblance of organization and work on establishing a routine.

Morning, Marty. Overcast and dull day here, but it's mild. Enjoy your garden.  Definitely not normal times. Did you get your new cooker hooked up?

Yep, cooker now installed. I posted a photo of it on here some time last night.
