About time. I was on Northumberland Street on Tuesday lunchtime and it was pretty much business as usual.

In the news there that a food bank in West Yorkshire has been broken into. There's some people that deserve this fucking virus.

Haven't been up central because no need to (or desire to), but no signs of anything around my neck of the woods yet. Going to go for a jog at lunchtime so I'll report back on any army movements.

With all these empty car parks, dogging is going to be a nightmare

Interest rates down to 0.1%. Get much lower and they'll be paying me for my mortgage.

M&S was rammed - barely anything on the shelves, some old dear nearly in tears because there was no meat left, asking why people weren't being limited to one or two items per person. Poor sales assistant said they weren't putting limits on everything. There were still plenty of vegan ready meals left but i kept shtum. 

Still don't get the toilet paper obsession. It's like gold dust

Put my house on the market yesterday and I’ve got a bid in for a much larger one, interest rates good. People not leaving the house not so much

With all that lovely money I'm saving on my mortgage, I may be able to afford a packet of paracetamol.

Alternatively, there may be a glut of older housing needing renovation soon. Sad but true.

We've been told to work from home for next 4 weeks (minimum) I did a fair bit anyway, but US office folks (even those who like us here can work from home easily) have been put on a 2 group pattern to "protect" them, one week wfh, next week in the office, rinse and repeat - madness.

It's going to go horrific over there I fear, when it hits those without medical insurance and those folks start dying from lack of care !!! Of course I could be wrong, the President reckoned it was all a hoax.
