Isolation Day 2 – is it over yet?

Took the opportunity of darkness to bury my hand sanitizer in the garden. Nobody else is getting it. Plotted the location, saved it in a file, encrypted the file with a 24 character password. Heard my neighbour out with a lawnmower later in the day – I’m sure he was trying to see if the vibrations could show up where it was buried.

Decided to do my Tesco shop online and get them to deliver – no deliveries available and 17 days from now I can go and pick up my order. Tempted to order from the USA – I’m sure they would deliver sooner.

So church is cancelled – sounds like all denominations, so we can’t even try out a different set of heresies for a change. Working on options for streaming and other stuff, but it can be hard when you can’t pop out to PC World for that cable you want.

Started to upload my photos to Flickr from the Nicaragua trip – made the mistake of using my slow internet connection. I’ll probably be out of isolation by the time it finishes. I have three internet connections, well four at the moment, they use different technology and providers – belt and braces and a second belt.

Not that I was planning for a pandemic or anything – well actually I was. I was lucky enough to do some training that described how to prepare for a flu pandemic, so I have been a bit more prepared than most. I have been amazed at how people failed to understand what they would need for 6 weeks isolation. I am glad I don’t need to eat pasta for the next 40 days.

I see the Americans are buying that essential for survival – the gun. I have two carefully placed pairs of shoes that I can throw at any intruder. But it is hard to comprehend that an intruder would probably be stealing from my toilet.

Work has been slow, but it is interesting to see that people are planning cross border trips in the next few weeks. So clearly trade has not stopped completely.

I’ve joined Betty’s art collective. A challenge to do something artistic each week. I don’t have an artistic bone in my body – but who knows – by the time this is over I might manage something. Not sure is I should try photography, jewelry or candle making. Any suggestions?
