home confinement

[Des Taff Jenkins]

Hi John, post 39
I used to devour the Readers Digest when I was a youngster, but as you say was very pro Western. I used to skip all the propaganda and read the short stories. It has gone by the board now though our barber has them with his pile of magazines to read while you wait, unfortunately the barber is a better source of news than the Digest these days.

Like you Victoria we were stopped by the police whilst driving.
Told them we had just done a 7 kilometer walk along the sea front.
Now worries she said but you should exercise closer to home, we were about 40 k from it.

But your lock down is harder than ours, Bunnings is going gang busters, see the car park most days full to the rafters.

Latest info from our state gov, 'Modeling shows that if we had not had the lock down some 30,000 would have died"

But as is the case with any such modeling it all depends on who doers it and what the parameters are.
Unlike all the other state premiers ours here is acting more like a dictator to get the message across, not what is needed at times like this.

Thousands working from home. we hada call from our cleaner who comes once a week, says she is now working from home and will give us instructions over the phone??

Our garden has never looked better. I keep ordering compost etc. The potato bed is now contented under an eiderdown of rotted farm muck. I keep fit by breaking new ground along the boundary - a bit more space for runner beans . . . you could say I suspect there'll be a famine.

Then it's afternoons in the writing shed. I'm working on two books for publication - need to finish them before the plague invades the village. Keep smiling through.

I wish the weather would warm up a bit more so I can get out into the garden more. Its been windy and cold the last few days.

[Red Lead Ted]

Chris, That's what has kept me going mate whole day tending the garden and greenhouses, You cant stay on the net all day and night, And to be honest the T.V Isn't up to much either every time you switch it on you get this bloody virus rammed down you throat. Lets hope the N.H.S. Can get all this PPE Equipment from Turkey asap. But there going to need a hell of a lot more. And then when the news came that the boozers could be closed until xmas that was it i had heard enough bloody gloom plug out the wall radio on Good health all Terry.

Driving for shopping last week, listening to BBC Radio 2.
Jeremy Vine doing his usual MLK the bad news for all its worth about care homes.
One care home in the N.E. has it had an outbreak, quizzed the owner said we have bought a fogging machine. Vine never heard of it, apparently kills all bacteria and viruses on surfaces, the care home uses it for 30 mins a day.
The machine sprays a fog of disinfectant (?) which is harmless to humans and is very effective.
Q is why is this not publicised more if it is as good as they say it is and why is it not used more?

In a few moments of idleness allowed by SWMBO I was idly glancing through a magazine and was tempted to purchase a new watch guaranteed to be accurate to within 1 second in 138,000,000 years. Then I thought naw! I'll never be able to claim on the guarantee if they're wrong!
