My partner and I don't live together and now it will be against the rules to go to each other's houses which after a week of self-isolating (barring 1 trip to the shop) to make sure neither of us had it is pretty depressing. Iv'e been self isolating for the last fortnight. My partner thought I was crazy for the first few days, now she understands. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that.

Sirudi Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 What a half hearted attempt at a lock down. We need better. Exercise once a day ? Shop as little as possible ? You decide if you want to go to work ? The public has not responded well to requests in the past. It is a sham. He knows he has no police to enforce this. When is the last time you saw a policeman in your street/area ? Get the army out if you intend to take this crisis seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you think that? The Tory media were saying just hours ago that it was the devolved Govts and ministers who were making Boris take greater action. The leaks to the Sunday Times yesterday (refuted by Downing St peculiarly since they don't usually get upset about reporters other than to have favourable ones close) Cummings was all for letting everyone catch the virus...

This garden will be minted by time I'm finished. Might start a thread for the inevitable 100 questions.. Decided to follow the rules and spent something like 7 hours in garden. Back and knees sore but got through power of weeding and scraping stuff from between paving stones. Next weekend, and perhaps after 5ish will be cutting back plants, bushes and a tree before edging and then cleaning and oiling decking. Usually do this in May when wife nags me to get my backside in gear, so I expect award winning garden this year. Only caveat is it needs to warm up cause gardening in the cold sucks.
