Went to supermarket yesterday. First time in 2 weeks. 15 minute queue outside, not bad. Shelves pretty ok apart from pasta and flour. Loads of toilet rolls so hopefully that madness has dissipated.
Had to recycle 2 weeks of wine & beer bottles in front of the queue which was a bit embarrassing. One guy asked me if I liked a drink. Blamed it on the wife.
Ooh, where in town can I take stuff for recycling, seeing as the tip is shut? Obviously only when I go to shop. |

My old departed mums last living sibling died yesterday in Swindon, they think he probably had Covid19 as he died due to complications with pneumonia, no post mortem will take place, so he may well have succumbed to this dreadful disease.
He was 86 and we have been told that even if I were not on 12 weeks sheidling that we would not be allowed to his funeral as it will be direct relatives only to a maximum of 10 attendees.
Disappointingly I hadn't seen him since before Christmas, luckily I hadn't seen him since before Christmas.

Cheers mate, probably eventually this problem is going to happen to a fair percentage of the population in time, very sad times indeed. |

Interesting piece about a drug being developed to combat Coronavirus. Coronavirus: Potential drug treatment starts UK trialsThe drug company developing it has a slightly disturbing name (for anyone familiar with The Handmaid's Tale), but happy to look past that right now. I'm taking hydroxychloroquine for my immune system condition. I could be immune to COVID, or it makes no difference as my immune system is already compromised. Hopefully I never have to test the theory! |

The only thing that's been a positive for me during this is the quietness on the roads. On the m4 at night you can go for over a minute without seeing anything on either side. Bizarre, but rather nice.
Oh and for eggs, try Waitrose. Bloody expensive mind.
I've just come back from my lunchtime walk and popped into Waitrose. They are well stocked in most things so picked up some fresh fruit etc. The only eggs they had left was quail eggs! |

Just to clarify we don't normally shop in Waitrose but figured I might be able to get more stuff there.

Just popped to Morrison's Eldene and got everything I needed including infant Calpol and eggs. A successful shop.

Nope. Just fruit. I wouldn't even know which aisle quinoa is in, cereal? |

Sorry to hear that PV. Think there will be a lot of stories like this over the coming weeks/months, sadly. |

Ha. Went there hoping for a more reserved shop. Never been before. Unbelievably expensive. It's like double the price for the same stuff as other shops. Don't get why anyone would shop there under normal circumstances. Won't be hurrying back |
