S'ok, just checking as I've caught a couple of Andrew Cuomo's press conferences and he's kept me amused with his bluntness...

The saga of replacing the drainage piping of the first floor shower. Here we see three nice big holes in the kitchen artex ceiling using a drilling machine to cut them out. I just hope my Wife does not spot them by looking up  

Normally I would have finished the whole job in a day, but I need to pan out my spare time, so will replace the piping tomorrow, and fill in the holes and artex the day after

The fine fall of black dust if someone's a bit heavy footed upstairs may give it away.

Visit to my local Asda supermarket and the 2 meter spacing queue outside was way back like a conga line. Stuff that..

Jumped in the car went to Aldi and only 6 in the queue, max 60 people in, one in one out. Not sure why Aldi was quieter with less queues, may be there is a reason for that?

Came back with a massive rack of uncooked chicken legs, think I was doing well, and wife said "what the...? Uncooked? You can cook them" LOL.

2 weeks into the lockdown.

Today a knock at the door and no-one out there ...but lying on the doorstep was a packet of 10 dish washing tablets. Thank goodness for good neighbours, thought I was going to have to do the dishes by hand. Close call!

I had mentioned yesterday over the fence (at a distance) to the neighbour that I was out of tablets, and going to have to hand wash, eek!

Ours died just before Christmas.
Before this all hit it was due to be replaced last month.
Now, gawd knows.

Just back in from walking the dog.
Anyone else think there's a bit more traffic on the road?

Agree. Going by my own experience, I think people need a car to carry a week or two weeks food worth of shopping, now that their home stock of food has depleted since the food rush when the Government themselves started, by saying you may have to isolate for a week or two. People need fresh milk, bread, fresh fruit and veg, tins and wait for it..... toilet rolls!

Better getting two weeks supply in by car, rather than exposing yourself more by doing a daily shop on foot with a shopping bag.
