who would have ever thought a pandemic of this caliber would ever happen in our lifetime?
As Lauren said yesterday: "My grandkids will be reading about this in history!"
Everyday, we turn on the TV at 5:00 to listen to the Prime Minister address the nation with the latest updates. First it was stay home if you have symptoms, then it was stay in isolate for 14 days if you or someone in your household has symptoms, then it was the schools are closing (but open for children of key workers), then it was all the bars, cafes, restaurants, cinemas, leisure centres and theatres are closing, then it was anyone in a high risk category should stay home for 12 weeks. Who knows when the lockdown will come, but possibly today.
Some groceries are hard to come by: pasta, loo roll, anything for baking. However, i did find salt, brown sugar and pasta at the corner shop yesterday! And I said thanks but no thanks to the small bottle of hand sanitiser for £6.....
I have made sure we are stocked up on the essentials: coffee and wine! With Brad and I both being home all day everyday, we have been through one bag of coffee in about 3 days, and we can't survive without coffee. And I don't know that we can get through the evening after being stuck in the house with all 5 of us without something to relax myself.
I am surprised the network can cope with all the activity with everyone working from home and all the kids being at home and working from home.
It's a good time to force ourselves to slow down and enjoy family time and reconnect with people. And the environment benefits because there are less people driving and out and about.
I am frightened by what has happened in Italy and Spain and what is going to happen here. The press conference is tonight at 8:30, so we will see if Boris puts us on lockdown along with the rest of Europe. I just don't see how he can get away from doing it.
