I’m still at work, travelling from Louth to Skegness everyday, the trains are running a Sunday service until further notice, the last train is leaving Skegness at 1730 now when it usually leaves at 2102, it means we are getting home earlier, I didn’t see one car on the a16 last night travelling home. Before and after work I’m staying in with the kids and just generally keeping myself busy, I don’t watch tv I’d rather have the music on instead.


Grimsby and proud!

My routine hasn't changed much as i work from home anyway and that's only part time. Taking the dog for looooong walks away from the madding crowds. Only difference being that we would sometimes stop somewhere for coffee/lunch, but have to come straight home now and make our own. Mrs G making cakes and bread which is starting to show on my waistline. Garden looking best it's done for a while and i am psyching myself up to have a good old clear out in my workshop. Was about to build a new shed before this kicked off, so if i can source some wood from somewhere, i will start on that.

Worst thing for us is that Mrs G has just stopped work for the first time in her life and we were intending to go travelling for most of the spring/summer in our shiny new campervan, which is now stranded on the front drive. We naturally isolate from the crowds anyway and head for the wilds of Yorkshire, Cumbria, Northumberland and especially the remote parts of Scotland. Have lot's of places we want to visit but that will have to wait for now.

Quoted from Ipswin
Finished all the gardening and Mrs Swin is now making noises about decorating, got to avoid it at all costs! Suggestions on a postcard please asap

Incidentally went for a bike ride today at 0615, never seen so much traffic (mind you I'm not normally up at that time these days) Loads going to local Tesco for their daily shelf stripping excursion but also loads of commercial vehicles (not HGVs) vans etc in logos of companies / shops that should be closed


I live in London Bridge and honestly you wouldn't notice anything different with the amount of people and traffic. The only indicator something is up is the store shelves are still bare.

One jigsaw done, only 11 left to do, starting to panic.


If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.

Been working from home for the last few weeks, me at one end of the kitchen table, the wife at the other and the cat underneath. Just have BBC 6 music on the radio all day and we are having our lunch in the garden in coats and hats just to spice things up. I'm struggling to stave off the pull of Football Manager, I've been clean of that addiction for a number of years but it's been on my mind of late.
