Well I am in lock down mode as from yesterday's advice being an endangered species . I should have bought some balsa wood yesterday as I will have a bit of time on my hands . I drew a plan last night for the next model , a Ferrari 156 Sharknose.

If you were closer I'd ride past & throw you some over the fence

Thanks ! That can be difficult if the wind is blowing in the wrong direction .

Well, we have no choice but to go food shopping as yesterday (our normal day) was taken up with other things.

So off to the supermarket. I have my club-with-a-nail-in-it, a rammer to attach to the front of the trolley, and a determined Mrs LGC with elbows at-the-ready.

We may be some time....

Good morning, I hope all is well with you, yours and all about you.

I’m going to work in a minute, I’m half expecting to be sent home when I get there.

Another quick question - as virtually all sports have been suspended, do those of us with subscriptions to BT & Sky Sports get any form of refund? It's curently like watching Dave Sports instead with all the repeats.

What do you think! There's no way because they'll claim it's out of their control.

Be assured, they will still have a team of pundits talking twatwaffle.....

Naver mind bog roll; first thing I did when I thought we may be self isolating was stock up on model making supplies. Priorities, people, Priorities...

Can you order some? I should think most of a tree would work out well. Or find a linden tree, and expand into basswood. Or take up watercolors. That's a tough pony to master, though.

I was right, today has been cancelled.

Plaster has dried & the stove has had it's initial light. It's actually a bit darker than this.

I have passed your message on to some of the other ressy dents of Hundred Acre Wood.

 

[Ripple]

I also have got a cancellation. My day off.
I'm also not looking forward to the weekend. Will start work at 0600 hours on Saturday morning and will finish it at 1800 hours on Sunday evening.
Many of our staff self isolated themselves so the rest of us are trying to cover them ...

Now I know where my apartment will hopefully be, I'm Idly looking at where I could go cycling. I'm going to be right on the edge of the Black Forest/Rhine valley, about 5km from work. If I finish work at about 4pm, and assume I can ride a comfortable 15km/h, that gives me a range of about 60k max to be back in time to say goodnight to Beautiful Daughter on Skype. If I go west that covers a comfortable circle to the Rhine and possibly over to France & back, and if I go east there's a nice looking valley route into the Black Forest.

It could be worse.

Calmac have cancelled their £10 handling fee for refund of unused tickets so rather than hang on to them for a month before cancelling I went down to the office this morning and got my whole fare back. Had to go to the office because I paid cash but they will only refund to a credit card. The girl there was wearing latex gloves to avoid contact with anything potentially contaminated. When I get another hospital appointment and if my family are not in isolation I will go by Fishnish to Corran Ferry as I do not have to leave the car unlike the Oban route where there is no option but to leave the car unless in an ambulance. Calmac are encouraging passengers on the small ferries to remain in their vehicles as most tourists get out to look at the scenery.
The tourist business here is taking a big hit which is a possibility I have been warning about for years now.
