    Lots of workplaces will surely be actively considering allowing many of their staff to continue to home work for much/ all of the time after this. Who’d want to put themselves through hot tubes/ trains in the summer if you don’t have to.

    Lunch today was Co-op Proscetto (8.50) some warm Higgedy veggie feta and red pepper rolls, some smoked veggie cheese and lettuce sarnies,  and black olive crackers with said veggie cheese , some passion fruit Jaffa cakes, and then coffee. In the back yard in the warm under a blue sky as a little family, getting updates about the baby opening her eyes.
    Right now I feel lucky, especially considering the dreadful agony others are experiencing.

    That’s quite a nice lunch, although probably a bit too much for me. I have to leave a bit of room for the Saturday night curry, so I just went with a cheese and pickle roll and a pale ale. All veggie of course.
    Give it an hour and some meat eater will start burning animal parts in the back garden.

    Obviously won’t be good for all, but hopefully there are a hell of a lot of kids getting a massive step in time, engagement and interaction with their parents than they normally get.  
    My son and his partner have benefitted greatly from the time with their one year old ..... Nelly is now in a cot and eating regular times in the same place etc 

    we have however hated it ! No cuddles for nearly a month

    On my daily walk I passed by so many nice pubs this afternoon, a tantalising glimpse of Valhalla  :D

    20% drop in reported crime.
    Thought it would be much more, but still a positive.

    That is a very low percentage, extremely surprising to be honest.

    Long hair, beards. Jesus and his disciples had decided to let their hair grow during the lockdown rather than risk cutting it themselves

    People calling the police for breaking lockdown might have boosted the number?

    I thought it was a veggie prosciutto  that I was especially going to go to Coop to check out.

    Didn’t think it would be all that cop and as the Italian deli is a few doors down the Woolwich road from our coop I’d thought that I might use my limited ‘meat credits’ that I have in my head for the real deal.

    im going to have a bottle of Prosecco instead now.

    It's not quite the goats of Llandudno or the deer of Harold Hill, but I was thrilled to see a couple of mallards taking a stroll down our road today. Never seen the like of it before.
