    Despite my good lady’s reluctance to partake in my carefully prepared meal, I also found out it’s not best to say “ I’ve eaten worse” after stuffing your face. 😳

    No face to face contact with anyone since last Saturday, apart from someone dropping a bit of shopping off on Friday. Got a workshop with loads of work to be getting on with in there, got a house to be renovated, and enough materials to keep me going for a good couple of weeks, but no motivation to do any of it


    Get ya head down mate and crack on,you got the tools (love the workshop),knowledge and time.
    As for you T C E ..keep out of the kitchen. 




    Perhaps good advice for @iamdan too.

    I will be working a few days a week in my consultancy job as I am able to do this from home, this is normal for me anyway. I have stocked up on timber so my carpentry hobby can be well used as I fear delivery's will soon dry up.

    We were going to start a major landscape of the back garden in the Spring so I shall crack on with that and hopefully my "Bob the builder" will stay well enough to still come and assist on the bits I can't do, I am sure he will be glad of some work and money.

    Gym wise I plan to go on a long (2 hour) evening walk Mon, Wed & Fri to replace my gym/spin classes. If I get out by 5pm and get home by 7pm I will still be home earlier than when I go to the gym.

    It is business as usual for my wife as they will be opening the pre school nursery for Key Workers children.

    I was in the process of changing some of the suspension on my old MG. Ended up splashing out and am in the process of replacing every spring, damper, bush front and rear. Also bought a load of other service items/spares that I’ll work my way through replacing. 


    Almost every word in this is a euphemism, isn't it?

    Ms AA is going to Beckenham Place Park at the weekend for an open air swim and going for a run each morning.  Other than that, I'm not sure how she'll manage twelve weeks or so of this.

    I'm playing on-line bridge (http://www.bridgebase.com/client/web0.php), working from home on computer stuff, and following the candidates' tournament in Ekaterinburg (https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-tournaments/fide-candidates-2020).

    Tomorrow I get my new (to me) Triumph Bonneville so I'll be out and about on that - self-isolating in public.

    Reading books, lots of them.

    I was thinking of home delivery if there’s the demand, my missus is swerving so there’s plenty for everyone. 
    You could feed the 5,000 with your first attempt.

    I find it doesn't always like jpegs, so you're safer with stuff in png format.
