Re: home confinement
Hi Victoria.
Like you though we clean the house, our carpets looked like they needed a good clean, bought a new German vacuum cleaner on Sat, did the lounge on Sunday, came up like new, Monday I did the whole house, I swear blind there was still smoke dust from the fires that it picked up.
Today, back sore, but it will be good after a weeks rest. But no, this afternoon stupid went and cut some more of the big hedge, NOW it's sore.

Re: home confinement
At last our state gov has seen the light.
When the four week lock down was announced it declared that all our bottle ships could continue, come sunder the essential services.
But there were restrictions, only one case of beer a ta time, one bottle of spirts, three bottles of wine at any one time.
Daily the same faces there, but today the restrictions have been removed, sanity at last.
Many of our big shopping centers will be fully open on Monday, but kids still to be uneducated at home.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: home confinement
How about this for a lockdown, "The Prince" is a pub in Stoke Newington London and like all other pubs bars etc they are closed for
the lock down. Two employees, Dom 29 and Steve 39 are flatmates in the flat above the pub, Dom is the pubs assistant manager
and as it's their home they were allowed to stay on, they can drink the beer on tap and have a BBQ on the roof "weather permitting"they
play chess and have created a sort of crazy golf course on the pubs wooden floor. Bet there's a few here wouldn't mind that little number ,cheers.

Re: home confinement
That’s not a lock down, that’s a lock in. Also called drinking the profits. Cheers JS.
