Things to do if you have to Self Isolate..

[pawl]

What do do for 14 days if you have to Self Isolate, assuming you are not actually suffering...

Decorating?
Turbo miles?
Gardening?
Talk to the other half?
Pointless Ama zon purchases?

🤔

Read cycle chat about what to do if you have to self isolate.

1) Donate blood.
2) Grocery deliveries for elderly neighbours who don't want to go out.
3) Unofficial meet-and-greet at Birmingham New Street Station.
4) Community improvements - cleaning up litter, wiping down bus stops, etc.
5) Opening up and Cashing up assistance to local shops.
6) Gorilla Car-washing (just walk down the street with a bucket of soap water and clean the dirtiest cars you see).
7) Write a blog / guide on local toddler and elderly drop-in events. Will mean visiting each one to generate an independent view.
8) Competitive urban transport - see how many different buses you can get on in an hour.
9) Destination of doom - see how far you can get on trains and still get back in the evening, with the added threat of sleeping on station platforms if you over-commit yourself.

Find someone who is wrong on the internet and spend two weeks arguing with them.

Sorry that is bollocks

Plenty to do in the garage and garden.
Plenty of books to read.
Might even be able to persuade Mrs B that a long night ride, rather than going out during the day, is in the public interest.
Edit. And there is H2G2 on the iPlayer

You forgot to attend a few orgies and dogging meets.

Are any of you actually going to be working - or is this the retirees thread

 

[numbnuts]

Get up after 9:00 am
read the forums

read the news
Oh hang on I'm doing that already maybe a midnight walk or two

There are plenty of places you can go outdoors on your own and not interact with others. Solo bike rides, walks, runs if you are asymptomatic. If you are showing signs then keeping everything low intensity is best.

Time to work through the soups and tins of spam you've had in the cupboard since 1943.

No everyone can work from home. Even if they theoretically could many companies because they have this "presence" mentality, are not setup for home working.

Sweeping snow, if today is anything to go by!.

Read, drink lots of scotch, try not to die.

You have to collect mini D from school so go easy on the scotch.

Vinyl to listen to

Yup. Will be an excuse to order more.

I'd be expected to work from home, but I don't have a laptop, and the work laptops are either in use or broken. So I guess I may do a bit of decorating and DIY. My garage really needs tidying (that's 2 days work easily). I also have Prime, Netflix and plenty of cheese.
