That way it lessens my mixing with any other people at all, hopefully less risk to me with this virus still around.
I fill the store cupboard, fridge and freezer and live out of those for three weeks. My only 'luxury' is that I can now get out for a nice drive in the car whenever I wish. That takes away 'climbing the walls' as I have been doing since mid-February, the last time I saw family, or even a human being that I could speak to face to face!

I've always tried to plan ahead, perhaps it's those who are compulsive and live for today who have a better and more fulfilling life.
Who knows, because I don't seem to any more?

Re: What Are We, An Afterthought??
The advice from the government is a bit like crossing the road. The government says you are free to cross thew road BUT if you cross the road at the wrong time, you get hit, you die. If you cross the road at the right time you get to the other said and live. The government says those people who have shielded from the virus can now go outside. Go outside too early, catch the virus, you die, go out later, you catch the virus you die, stay in and continue to shield, you live but it is still your choice.01-06-2020, 09:08 PM
