TBI 2,319 Report post Posted March 27 19 minutes ago, jonab said: Boris appears to have the "royal" mild version previously reserved for Charles and Albert of Monaco. True jonab, but it's worth hanging on to a positive at this terrible time, the vast majority of those infected only get the 'royal' version. Thank God. This morning saw our first trip outside the perimeter of our house since last Saturday, a short trip to the pharmacy for meds and Bingham Lidl for some essentials. All calm and pretty quiet but great to see everyone observing distancing and folk really friendly and smiley in this adversity. Keep safe everyone. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carni 9,455 Report post Posted March 27 I've got mi jimjams on and a mug of Ovaltine in mi hand, the other one is clutching two chocky biscuits, so there is no chance of me seeing the ISS tonight. I don't want any of the neighbours, thinking 'Oh crikey there's the crazy woman star gazing in her jimmys again'. Perhaps I'll see it next time. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 3,617 Report post Posted March 28 On Tuesday all flags will be at half mast at midday and we will have a minutes silence to grieve for the victims of CV. The medical staff have all been sung for , clapped for and pans rattled for them . Hope they all heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 3,617 Report post Posted March 28 I think I must have seen the ISS for quite a while. In the summer we stay outside in the evenings and I've often seen a light which I've always thought was a plane as we are fairly near to a few airports. It does move but haven't taken much notice of how fast. Will look tonight. We have a beautiful day again after the freezing cold and a flurry of snow. We face south and we have a very clear view from west to east. It's the time that doesn't coincide with us how do we calculate from U.K. to Italy around Asti/Turin.

DJ360 5,026 Report post Posted March 29 This evening I was invited to a party. At 5:00 pm I pulled a couple of chairs to the outer limits of my open plan front lawn and, armed with a bottle of Pinot, two glasses and Mrs Col, proceeded to participate in the *** Drive Massive's first ever Socially Distanced Street Party. For around one hour 6 couples, all neighbours who have been practising rigid Social Distancing for weeks and 'Stay At Home' since ordered, conversed and caroused from the safety of our respective front lawns until forced inside . Not by the authorities, but by a biting wind and sub 8 C temperatures. Take that Coronavirus!!! 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
