How are you getting on with stocks, most people who return from holiday have left the house with no perishable food, so coming back its old mother hubbards, regards kt
Plenty of dried and tinned food in the house, have a very small freezer as part of fridge combo, so cannot store a lot, which may be a good thing as due to inaction (no dancing) and room confinement managed to pile on the pounds even though never touched a drink in room confinement, now home to the same, no dancing, the carpet is going to have grooves in it by the time our self isolation is over as shall be pacing up and down as if I was back on the bridge wing,( oh those happy days) at least it shouldn't be foggy, but a lot of my tinned goods are baked beans! so may sound like fog horns on occasions!

Re: Ivan
Ivan, good to see you back home in one piece.
Looks as if it is a global problem many stuck in some very odd spots and could be there for a long time yet.
Emirates we hear is to stop all flights for now, welcome to the club.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
