Pubs and restaurants closed down on Friday although takeaways remain open. Unfortunately for some, Costa and McDonalds closed their takeaway service from today thereby reducing the options for a decent meal and quality coffee.
Interestingly, this weekend saw a huge number of people out and about at either supermarkets (panic buying) or tourists spots (panic visiting). Snowdonia Park rangers say it has been their busiest day ever - which is either an exaggeration or people are behaving very, very strangely.
I've been working from home since Thursday, although I think this will be temporary as today our top HR man has decreed that we should go into work, mainly (I think) because we are 'key workers' i.e. in the food supply chain.
It's all a bit surreal at the moment, and it's very unlikely to improve for some months.

Four Horsemen.
Flood, Fire, Famine and Pestilence, or The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
They just seem to fit with what we have today. Flooding started late last year, fire followed soon afterwards (in Australia), famine is what we are experiencing now with empty shelves in supermarkets along with the Covid-19 virus. I might be exaggerating the famine bit, but you get the idea.
It's not nice having to stay at home as much as possible. My better half is one of the 'at risk' groups with an autoimmune issue (lack of adrenal glands) so has to be doubly careful, which makes me very wary about going out, but better me than her. I can see it being a major issue if I get it and have to isolate myself away from her. We have plenty of spare rooms, but breathing the same air cannot be a good thing. I really worry that she might catch it.
Meanwhile, the state crackdown is creeping in, probably brought in gradually to reduce the stress, but stressful nonetheless. Last day for schools today, and along with everything else that has closed down it is difficult to see the end game even at my most optimistic. Looks like we really are relying on science to pull us out the $hit on this one.
Have a nice day!
