Our local micro brewery told me today they're not sure when they will next brew. Covid-19 causing a lack of demand. My village sports and social club is a customer........the SSC has cancelled all future events. Just one example.

Cook your wife a lovely meal with a nice bottle of wine and a bunch of flowers, I am sure she will appreciate it.
I do all the cooking, I did us a lovely roast dinner tonight, I buy her flowers once a week , I suspect there will be flowers involved when the family visit Sunday, and the lady is tea total. With our lad visiting over the weekend I was looking forward to a family meal out, but it looks like it's not to be.

This is what my local micro brewery posted on FB.

In these uncertain times, and with the probability of pubs closing after the announcement in Ireland last night, we would like to let you know that the brewery shop is still open and we hope to be until being asked not to, should you wish to come down and collect some beers. If you are self isolating or just being precautionary, we will consider delivering to your homes if in the North Devon area. Please PM us and we will let you know if we're able to deliver. All of our beers are available in 500ml bottles. Thirst of Many, Blonde Ambition, North Coast IPA, Dark Horse and Oatmeal Stout (limited availability), in cases of x12 at £2 a bottle. Thanks all. x
I'll collect direct and save £4 a case.
Mixed case?

Mornin' all. Back from abroad.
Have I missed anything?

Oh yes, Mrs Tenkay prefers a hoppy IPA, I'm quite fond of a stout though I do enjoy IPA.
So it's a mix of 6xCorbel, 6x Square Logic 6x Layer Cake and 3x2 cans of beers we've not tried before 🍺👍

Morning all.
Am I the only one who's not concerned about the current situation?
There's bugger all I can do about it, so why worry?
I'm sure you're not Dirk and in many respects I'm with you on this one. I do have some concerns though, some of which we can address.
We have friends and neighbours who are high risk and have started 12 weeks of self-isolation. The village has always had a support network in that it's a small community and people keep their eyes open. Over the last 48 hours that's been formalised; a small group have agreed to help with shopping, care etc. and have dropped leaflets with contact details to every household. I doubt much will be needed for the moment but a time will come. This is something we can and will do.
My best friend faces daily challenges in life. Communication is often hard and I know what that means. Right now I'd love to see her, know she's OK and give her a hug. I don't expect to see her for months.
I know my pension pot will have tanked. I haven't looked and I'm not going to as I can do nothing. It's in the back of my mind though.
Overall I'm not worrying as, like you and I guess all of us, I know there's nothing much I can do. I'd give anything to see my friend as I'm desperately worried about her.
Morning all .
A quick coffee, a shower then off to see if Aldi have restocked afted it was bitzed yesterday. TBH we dont need loads as we always keep a stock of pasta type stuff and (i will whisper this) we buy bog roll in multi packs and bought some before this kicked off.
Mo, at 06 15 I saw a lady walking in the adjacent park......was that you ?

I have risen!
Headache gone, which is rather spiffing.

Good day to you all. Light grey cloud and little breeze. A perfect cycling day and I may pop out for a 20-30 miler this afternoon.
We have been panic buying.........sorry I need to confess this. It's a guilty secret that has to come out. Paint........and it's me that is panicking
Kitchen first. Take all the junk off the walls, wash down, paint. This and the bathroom are the hardest jobs as not a single wall is a clear run. All have cupboards, tiles, windows etc. to work round.
Grass needs cutting and mower won't start. I popped down to see the man who services it annually. The place was closed up. Don't know what that means as I haven't been for a year. Think I'll start by cleaning the spark plugs....

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Good morning. Talking about take away places delivering, they will have a hell of a way to go to deliver to me. The food would be a tad cold by the time it got to me.
I might have to invest a bit of money in the stock market if it carries on crashing like it has.
