Get a grip people, except for Sheilbh it's been two weeks at most. For crying out loud.

Yeah. I'd happily trade my position with any of you whiners  <_<

You've never met my kids.

You've never worked retail in the middle of a pandemic.

Just went out to the nearest corner shop. As someone who lives in a city because I like business and people and crowds I don't think I'll ever get used to it always look like a weekday at 3am. It's really eerie.

All the time in the world to pick that one perfect Easter egg!

Yes warm, still very light, but empty; I don't think many people will get used to it.

Though if the 'lockdown' is fully lifted, it'll make an odd sudden change, though I guess social distancing will continue.

Have to say around where I live, if anything it looks busier than usual.
Probably because rather than being at work people are stuck around home so are spending their time walking the dog or in the garden.
I haven't been to the city centre since this all started though, I expect its quite amazing there. I'm half tempted to go someday.

You know sports news are slow these days when the Austrian state broadcaster's news page has an article about Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series. :D

Emily sewed me a mask which I wore to Kroger today.  I felt like I should have been robbing the place. :)

Don't worry if this virus continues the way it has, you'll be doing that for real in 2 months time.

Damn, Hansie hope it's not the real deal, but get yourself to a medic pronto if things deteriorate.
