I finished my last contract just over a week ago so am accidentally self isolating. Not a good time to be looking for work so I’m just enjoying the break and feeling thankful I’ve savings.
I’m worried about my dad, not because he’s sick but because he lives alone and usually has a very full social life, which will be stopping abruptly.

My wife and son both have underlying conditions (both been in hospital in the past with pneumonia after mild illnesses). So we started last Thursday.
The garden is beginning to look very nice and I’ve got a pile of old TV to watch. I’m relegated to the spare room so can watch things my wife wouldn’t normally enjoy like 1960s tv plays. And plenty of theatre to watch when the mood takes me.
Today was the first day where the novelty has begun to wear off. 12 weeks will be torture.
Eventually we shall resort to driving to the middle of nowhere for a change of scene.
We’re lucky cos I’ve got a pension and the local supermarkets seem to be delivering in a timely manner. Mind you we will see what’s missing when Sainsbury deliver tomorrow.

Well that’s the front door locked and me in social distancing mode for the foreseeable. No reason to leave home for at least three weeks (which is when rations will end, though I have a top up delivery coming next week), so let’s see how that all works out.

I work in a non food retail (in a well known station). Well yesterday my work said that they were going to close all the shops at 4pm. Then decided to stay open because they looked at how much the shops were making and my shop were still in profit. So I went from not having to go out to work! Saying that I fear more that when and if my shop does close it will push it in to administration.
