Albert1434 Posted April 4, 2020 Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) This looks like the scene of a crime, although the cat is certainly enjoying licking off all that sauce. However, the woman has just given up completely. Maybe, she had an awful day or week, and dropping the pot was just the cherry on top. At some point, everyone has committed this error, but the poor woman needs to clean it up. Edited April 4, 2020 by Albert1434 3

They don't feel there's enough work for all of us, and I have the least seniority, so bye bye me. 8 hours ago, Page Scrawler said: I'm sorry to hear that, Val. We're in the same boat together, I suppose. That make three of us. I was just getting paid by the charity i work for in the last few months. But, with the money they are now losing by their cafe being shut I’ll be back at volunteer status when I go back. 1 1 3

The results are based on lab experiments in which a small number of animals were deliberately infected with high doses of the virus, SARS-CoV-2, and do not represent real-life interactions between people and their pets, says virologist Linda Saif at The Ohio State University in Columbus.

Normally I would get my best connection during the day time, when the kids are at school. Since the government closed the schools two weeks ago I have found my internet has slowed down to a crawl at all times of the day. 2 1 3

I have broadband but it has slowed down since all this started. Mostly it is okay, but there are times when i want to swear at it. 6

I have broadband but it has slowed down since all this started. Mostly it is okay, but there are times when i want to swear at it. Hi, Caz! Yea, I'm doing good, thanks for asking. Because I am over 70, I am effectively under house arrest at the moment, although the Government tells me it's for my own safety. I am allowed to go out in the garden and, fortunately, I have a very big garden in the old house I purchased last November. That garden has been untended in the approximately ten years since the house fell vacant, so I have plenty to keep me occupied. And, if the weather turns too wet, there's lots of work needs doing inside the house. I have loads of provisions in the cupboards, fridge and freezer, so there's no danger of me starving to death. So I'm not getting too bored during my house arrest. Initially the cocooning (to use the Government's term) of the over 70's was to last until Easter Sunday, but the health minister suggested yesterday that it may be extended. I must admit, though, that just once or twice during the past week I have felt a sort of helplessness. That has soon passed, but I do worry about those elderly whose mental state may not be quite as robust as my own. My nearest chemist (pharmacy) is around 20 miles (30km) away, and they texted me the other day to say my prescription is ready for collection. They don't offer any sort of delivery service (but told me over the phone that they are in discussions with the Government about that), so I shall either have to arrange for someone to collect it for me, or maybe ring the health centre in my village on Monday. Maybe they have arranged to get basic medicines (which is all I need) in stock. I wouldn't need the medicine for about ten days anyway, and none of it is critical. I wouldn't be in imminent danger of death without it. So, that's my story! Not as bad as many people's during this current crisis, I am sure. Edited April 4, 2020 by Marty Flipping typos! 3 4

Not in the house long. Spent most of the day in the garden, tidying up all the briars and brambles I'd cut, and making a bonfire of them. Also started clearing out the upper story of the old cottage in the garden, and found lots there to add to the bonfire. While all this outside work is good for me, and helps while away the time spent on lockdown, I'm finding myself quite tired at the end of the day. Got potatoes and carrots steaming at the moment. Will make a cheese omelette to go with them. That'll be dinner sorted for tonight. Although it's now 9:15pm, so it will be a late dinner. Might video chat with a friend or two later. I've hardly spoken to a soul all day. 7
