Corona Cavern

[nickdub]

I don't see it as self-isolating - I see it as isolating the rest of the world from me - I know its tough on them all, but they'll just have to cope somehow. The only real difference I can foresee in my usual routine of doing a bit on the computer, reading a book and looking at the state of the garden and thinking someone ought to do something about it, is bridge being cancelled.

The biggest risk I face is Mrs Nick being told to work from home - I daresay she'll kill me if that happens, so I'll say goodbye to you all now, just in case :-)

If I have to work from home I'll be joining Mrs Nick because Himself will drive me to it Brandy please, a large one.

Mr HH and I have already agreed we each get allotted time by ourselves if we have to home school combined with Mr HH trying to remote teach his pupils! May secretly stock my shed up with goodies from the house

Shall enjoy a drink here in the meantime. What time does it open?

^ Very good, Baldy. And thanks for opening this thread.

Mr Snoop went out today (car in for MOT [passed, phew] and went to get fancy cat biscuits, ageing cat can only have hypoallergenic ones now). So that's us sorted till 1 April when we'll need to go and get more medication for us.

Off the booze as it depresses the immune system. Yes, that's a bit of a party pooper remark. Sorry Pretend I didn't say it. I'll have one of those ridiculously overpriced low-alcohol gins and tonic.

Might actually get a lot done if I put my mind to it. No surprise if I say I've got loads of work to keep me busy. Just hope there's someone out there at the end to pay me for it. Will get the garden underway and my beehive up in the hopes of a swarm. Unlikely, but it's a nice thought. Mr Snoop has plenty of jobs to do... I'd make a list but it would seem too much like nagging.

Thanks for the gin. Will leave some salted almonds in a big jar for everyone to share. Dead easy to make, if you're interested. Crack a cup of nuts or however many you can manage. Heat a couple of teaspoons of oil in a frying pan, add nuts, stir into the oil and fry, stirring occasionally, till they start jumping and popping in the pan. Doesn't take long. Remove from heat, wipe with kitchen paper to remove some of the oil, sprinkle with salt and eat while still warm. Yum.

Catch you later.

I find alcohol (lack of) depresses...



Four Tom's I think will have to go to the plot poly house tomorrow. Think I'm going to try to get there early to avoid peeps... both for corona and more prosaic reasons

I am really gonna struggle with this. I have multiple health problems and am under shared care protocol, thankfully my husband is my main carer. But I have 2 teens and a very active 9 year old, who are really not gonna enjoy shielding. My teenagers are gcse and a level years and can be sensible, but my youngest is a constant cuddler...

My 18 year old was in the lucky position of 3 medicine offers and an unconditional for pharmacology... Now she is panicking as she needs to get good results to get her place.

Our blessing is that she passed her driving test this week, and we have quite a large garden .

I reckon this thread will be a mix of serious and silly and everything in between... and so it should.

[Small pumpkin]

I’ve been self isolating for the last 6 years or so. So I don’t see what all the fuss is about.







Just checked ...... apparently that’s being unsociable not self isolating.


As you were, carry on.

I’ll raise a glass with you bramble
