How is everyone coping with staying at home, and only going out for provision. ?
:confused:

I'm still having to go to work, so no cabin fever here thankfully.

I'm being naughty and walking the dog twice a day. Not that I ever see anyone.

I made a quick dash to the corner shop today for bread, again I didn't meet anyone.

I do my main shop at Tesco on Mondays. I'll be struggling a little for pet food if they're out again this week.

Generally, I'm missing the pub but the two animals are keeping me on my toes, especially with cleaning!

My son still comes to us for Sunday lunch. AS long as he is in good health, free of colds and bugs.

Though I don't use the buses at present I still go for a walk and use the local shops.
I am hearing that the buses are going to stop or reduce service next week.

Many of ours have already reduced services Margaret.

I walk along the main road with the dog and the buses seem to be empty most of the time. It simply doesn't make sense to run them like this.

I think that this coronavirus will result in many permanent changes to the way we live and work. I see working from home as becoming much more common, now that it's been proven it can be done.

I also predict a baby boom in about 9 months time, and a rapid rise in divorces once this 'house arrest' is over. :)

In Asda this morning, there seems to be plenty of dog and cat food. Dried and tinned.

A quick dash around Tesco just before lunchtime. The place was almost empty of shoppers and I got everything I needed, including soap, toilet rolls and pet food.

Oh yes, I initially went to Tesco , got most stuff I wanted except they were limiting two of each items. I then went to Asda and got some flour, but they still don't have a lot in.

One thing I did notice earlier, was that several people I passed in the store were 'whiffy'. I can only think that not going to work has allowed personal hygiene standards to drop.

OMG. Maybe they don't change their clothes or something. Or they stink of smoke.

Oddly enough, I had a chat with a checkout girl when this panic buying started. We'd both noticed soap and bleach going, but clothes washing powders and liquids remained largely untouched.

I've noticed the PR people have been working overtime telling us how wonderfully caring the supermarkets are.

The supermarkets have a lot to answer for. They could have stopped panic buying from the outset, but saw their short term profits!

Hope you're all coping ok. A few reports are starting to say the peak is not far off, so hopefully there's the hope of a glimmer of the light at the end of the tunnel!

Not much difference to my life Lex. I just don't go to the pub a few afternoons a week.

I spent a pleasant couple of hours snoozing in the sun this afternoon.
