home confinement

[Chris Allman]

Gentlemen no more Coronavirus posts please - I have deleted a couple on this Thread today and will continue to delete any which appear anywhere on the site - we are trying to keep the site as a bit of a haven where we are not reminded all the time of these terrible times as we are on the TV, Radio and in the Papers - thank you for your help in this.

Entering our 5th week of confinement. Still talking to her indoors.(Her indoors? We're all bloody indoors)! A months shopping stowed away, gardens looking immaculate, brasswork gleaming windows sparkling- perhaps I'd better turn to soon, she thinks my smoko's gone on too long. Won't let me in the kitchen anymore, says anything I cook tastes like boiled knitting, ignoring my claim I used to be a chef with Cunard.(actually, I was night cook on the Sylvania slinging hash to the creatures of the night). Forgotten what a newspaper looks like, too much fake news on tv, just access catch up on various tv channels. Desperately missing the pub,fender ale isn't the same, bit short on busty barmaids at Chateau Gill. Possibly three more weeks before the next extension. Mind you I can navigate my way around the Nazi storm troopers guarding my local supermarket, it's an ideal time to do a spot of Christmas shopping.

John, I know exactly how you feel although i can escape into the gardens on days like this, If this goes on for another 3 months, I might as well get hold of a shotgun and go and rob the local Chinese chippy, There fault in the first place i might as well be banged up in Walton nick for 3 months. At least i could sit and eat without getting singed by the fire on my bloody listeners by the long haired dragon.

Cut the lawn twice in Autumn, up until the fires; then no grass or clean air for two months, then a glorious downpour, then two more cuts, now winter coming grass has stopped growing, shrubs losing their will to live in the cold wind, except the hedge which glowers at me as I cut it viciously back. no lawns to cut for a few months, I'm rapped .

So I went to Bunnings and bought a chain saw. Bought one off the net but It did not work, got a refund.

Chains saw, now I get my revenge on the guy down the road who drives his car with the radio blaring on some way out station, a car with no speedo judging by the way he drives.

We are allowed to start at 0700 hours, that may wake him up a bit.
So far cut three meters of fire wood with another four or five to go.

#62 Was that cubic metres, or just length ?

Can you burn uncured wood in Aus? Bad for the environment!
