Cycling to work earlier than usual, don't usually start till after the clock change. Small consolations....
Work currently testing WFH practicalities. If that fails then I am out of work in the case of a lockdown. 😢The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Morning, a nice and mild start to the day, dog walked already for what today brings, since Monday I have noticed there is not so much traffic on the road anyone else noticed this?
Have a good day0 -
Yes and no:lincolndave said:since Monday I have noticed there is not so much traffic on the road anyone else noticed this?
Driving to work on the dual carriageway there seems to be just as much traffic as normal, driving as badly as normal. On the way home it still feels like there is as much traffic but there's no queuing so there isn't.
There's less traffic on the side roads although everyone's driving a lot faster but generally giving more space when passing because the road is empty.

WFH and finally getting over man flu so might run rather than walk the hounds.
With all of this craziness wife pulled forward her birthday meal last night, which means her birthday will last 3 weeks rather than the usual 20 -
Muddy run with hounds was enjoyed, now on the spin bike enjoying morning cup of tea and then open laptop in the warm lounge (log burner been going for 4 days)tlw1 said:WFH and finally getting over man flu so might run rather than walk the hounds.

Morning, wfh despite company advice despite government advice. How long til lockdown?
Wedding provisionally rearranged until either the 3rd or 31st of October so the pressure is off. Still vague plans for small ceremony in April if the rules allow at the time then save the p1ss up for October0 -
I have never seen a London bound train as empty as it was this morning. Absolutely deserted.
Most of our office tenants are shutting down their offices.You can fool some of the people all of the time. Concentrate on those people.0 -
Slackest day I've had in a very long time, mainly because (a) I slept very badly and got up late and (b) my back decided it really didn't want to play. Hobbling around like a very old man most of the day dammit.

Morning, working remotely being silly sat the dog in front of the laptop for the entire video call I've just had better view than my ugly mug anyway.
Pedal later looks a bit dull out, can't tell if it's quiet out as the road is always quiet! More people out walking there hounds this morning though.0 -
Working at home. Weirdly feel obliged to do more than usual. I've only ever "worked" from home before, mainly involving napping on the sofa after a long bike ride.
Was at Waitrose at 7:55 for 8:00 opening. Long queue of middle class types like me, all panic buying harissa paste, preserved lemons, veal stock, foie gras and asafoetida. Shelves full of bog roll, pasta, rice and tinned gruel - all going largely ignored. You'll all be pleased to know that I got a big bag of flat leaf parsley, some vermouth rosso, saffron strands, posh olive oil and fresh ginger. Bought my allowance of bog roll and popped it in the food bank collection box.2 -
The coronavirus has a silver lining for some businesses. Apparently the big jump in the number of people working from home has coincided with a spike in traffic for Pornhub.
Can't think why.0 -
Day 3 of WFH and cabin fever hasn't set in yet on account of being very busy, but must do some exercise later."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

A bit more of that selflessness will do no end of good.hopkinb said:Bought my allowance of bog roll and popped it in the food bank collection box.
H³ is back. Hey - this C19 thingy is great for forum traffic. Why on earth would you want Asafoetida?
Today mostly looking up different foodstuffs.
Fix that damn signature Oxo. Can read wiring diagrams but can't spell.
Onwards to hot cross buns.
Have made contact with T47. Will report later.

Hopefully you middle class lot are better than the scum around here pinching the pasta and tinned food out of the collection points.hopkinb said:Bought my allowance of bog roll and popped it in the food bank collection box.
Lifetime ban and confiscation of all bog roll seems like a worthy punishment.

Morning.
Had a few of my team help other teams with the digital world of WFH so they can move out. I get to stay to the bitter end of Friday. Uni has this belief it will all return to normal by 14 April.
2 hours on the phone with Expedia but three hotels/trips now refunded with March and April looking very dull suddenly.
M&S food by ours looks normal whenever I pop in, the Tesco beside it, less so.
May go buy some wine at lunch0 -
Oooh hot cross buns now theres a thought....
Also condom sales are through the roof apparently, I expect a mini baby boom in December at this rate.0 -
Maybe it's just because rubber gloves have sold out...thistle_(mbnw) said:

I heard other people talking about a spike in births in December, I don't think it'll be us. I'm optimistic for my chances but pessimistic for the world as a whole.0 -
Afternoon folks,
Still working from work here, I suspect I might carry on doing so as with more people working from home than being here it should be nice and peaceful.
Blimey, I started writing this a couple of hours ago and the silly questions took over. No wonder I never get any work done.
Good news about the Otis by the sound of it HM. Hope it all works out well.
I went to the Waitrose in Raynes Park to get stuff for the old dear last night H³, they had no Maris Pipers. Managed to get most of what she wanted though.
Still planning on going to the pub tonight. If we are going to go into enforced lockdown at some point I'm not going to start voluntarily to make it seem even longer. Sensible precautions will be taken, but I'm still trying to enjoy life as best I can.
Anyway, onwards and upwards...0 -
Might as well be locked in the Winchester Tavern as anywhere. 😉The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

I was one of the first through the door, so the shelves were fully stocked - people were mainly going for tinned tomatos this morning, so maybe folk have decided they don't much like unadorned pasta. The state of the place by the time I left would suggest that there won't be too much left by this evening. I wonder if Bayley and Sage in the Village is open - I might head up there tomorrow and panic buy some posh cheese and ham, maybe some smoked salmon and caviar.veronese68 said:

I was intending to get a ride in today, but not managed it due to being too blinking busy. Will try and get out tomorrow at some point.

Spent the day rewriting assessments and exam deliveries after closing all face to face teaching. I needed to make a sign too.

It's like there's some trash Twitter account telling everyone what to buy and the lambs are just following....Hopefully to the slaughterhouse.

I'm off down the offie to panic buy high abv Polish lager before London goes into LOCKDOWN. Also kids, cluttering up the place for months and months, and I can't escape, or even delegate to olds.0 -
i noticed that isopropyl alcohol is starting to be in short supply, i already had quite a bit, but was researching for others i was putting this together for...
if you are finding it hard to get hand sanitising liquid, or would like some to give to the vulnerable, the world health org recipe to make around a litre of your own is...
750 isopropyl alcohol - amazon, ebay, engineering/lab supplies etc.
40 hydrogen peroxide 3% solution - supermarket/pharmacy, it's used as a mouthwash
15 glycerol or glycerin - supermarket/pharmacy
190 water (boil it and allow to cool before adding)
...these are pre-mix volumes in ml, do not start with a one litre measuring flask and finish by topping up with water as the way the molecules fit together means you'll have added too much water
the hydrogen peroxide and glycerol are not essential to its performance, you can just do a 750ml ips + 250ml water mix

How much of it do we need to drink to stay germ free SG? That is a joke, I realise if any stray MF's find their way back through boredom they might be tempted.
So daughter's school life goes out with a whimper on Friday by the sounds of things. Strange days indeed.0 -
My bottle of over proof rum is looking rather handy now...0
