Bugger!
Just cancelled our 3 weeks away in the van around Cornwall. We were going next week.
What with the National Trust and English Heritage shutting all of their sites, uncertainty of pubs being open, being treated as a social pariah for unnecessary travel and the possibility of there being a total lock down in the next couple of weeks - it sort of took the pleasure out of going.
We'll stay at home, keep an eye on the situation and support our local businesses.
The money I've saved has bought the new motor mover that I've just ordered for the van .
Every cloud has a silver lining.

Morning all. Getting used to this self isolating. I'm decorating our bedroom at the moment. Mrs GM doesn't like the smell of paint, so she sleeps in our sons bedroom while he's sleeping in his studio in the garden. I don't mind the paint smell, it reminds me of being at w*rk
Happy birthday @screenman

Picking up our lad at the train station, stood by the barrier and noticed someone cleaning the hand rails on the stairs with a spray bottle and a cloth, the cloth looked a bigger health hazard than the hand rails.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

Well that was one ride I did not enjoy. The wind was bitter and cut through my layers including my Endura winter jacket. I ended up wearing a rain jacket.

Have you damaged the bike?
On a more serious note, I hope thats all superficial and it heals quick.Dont think so. Its taken the skin off and it doesn't want to stop bleeding.
My chest hurts when i breath heavy where I bounced but I I dont think anything is broken.
Not checked the bike yet.Have you damaged the bike?
Nurse Smith is tending to me and is more shaken than me.
Think its superficial but it wont stop bleeding. Strange as my leggings have no damage.... it was only when I saw the blood coming through that I realised the extent.

I got our shopping done this morning, Tesco's and Morrison's very busy but a lot of empty shelves I got most of the stuff I wanted, but no bread or beans. Down Coventry market and both the butcher and the fishmonger stalls were a bit sparse, fella at the butchers was telling me they're having problems with getting their deliveries. The more worrying thing was the number of cash points with no cash, apparently with some of them they are emptying them as fast as they can refill them.

People are complaining In town because we are getting a lot of people from Birmingham apparently who drive down here, fill their cars up with foodstuffs from the supermarket, then bugger off back.to Brum. 
My youngest grandsons finished school for the last day yesterday. They won't be doing any exams.
Today they applied to the Co-op for jobs as self fillers. They are desperate as they can't fill the shelves fast enough and don't have enough staff. They should find out later today if they got the job.
