In fairness, they may be an inept government, but I'd shag at least three of them which is not something you could say about our lot. All right then, maybe four. Four, the exception should be obvious.

Outdoor gym off limits ☹️ I find it absolutely incredible that our government, and governments across Europe have been able to use fear to manipulate the general public into giving up even the most basic freedom of being able to go outdoors, using the pretext of a seasonal virus, 90% of the victims of which were over 70 years of age, and the overwhelming majority of the remainder had serious pre-existing health problems. Even Stalin never managed anything on this scale. As the average age of the population inevitably increases, is it going to be like this every Winter from now on?

Around a month now, not even a sniff, and no prospect of a sniff now that we live in a totalitarian state. Mind you I keep seeing Lisa, who used to be the village bike in Whaley walking or riding along the towpath. You can't miss her, red lipstick and a permanently orange face. Do leopards change their spots?

I can't believe they have actually fenced it off. We have signs at our local parks and so far I haven't seen anyone in them. Not that I am out much. I wonder if the fence belongs to the council or if they are renting them?

Planes won't make much difference at this stage. The contagion is well in there so introducing a few hundred people who may or may not have it is small fry. A drop in the ocean. The hirse has bolted. Horse or Hearse?

oddly I find with me it's the opposite (talking to my sister, she said that she found same) Possibly because I am planning my days menu rather than just grabbing what I feel like at the tim However, being deluged with all this ridiculously reduced price good food when I venture out - I find I just can't waste it. Thats the problem with solo...Son disappeared last week, suspect he'll find somewhere to wait out this crises..hopefully offshore wind farms or similar. I had lot of food in and similarly won't waste....eating all the fresh first. Its perhaps fortunate that I lost 2kg on the cruise cos its going back on.... Apart from my 6am walk now in all day.

And this morning's headlines:
"Britain's coronavirus death toll rocketed by 260 to 1,019 today as the UK suffered its worst day yet and saw a huge spike in victims. Across the country a total of 120,776 coronavirus tests have taken place, and a whopping 17,089 have come back positive for Covid-19."
"Did Michel Barnier infect Boris Johnson?"
"Is this really ESSENTIAL shopping? Britons ignore order to only leave the house for basic necessities as shoppers buy paint, garden tools, mirrors and a LAVA LAMP"
"Downing Street says China faces a 'reckoning' over their handing of coronavirus and risks becoming a 'pariah state' as Boris Johnson faces pressure to scrap the Huawei deal"
"The Queen and Prince Philip are living together for the first time in two years because of the coronavirus lockdown while Prince Charles only has red squirrels for company"
"Lockdown until JUNE: Senior health chief warns entire population of Britain could need to stay home for nearly three months to avoid worst effects of coronavirus"
"Will they ever learn? Chinese markets are still selling bats"

"When I predicted roadblocks in my column two weeks ago, which I did, I did so out of an instinct that we were entering on the craziest period of our lives since the death of Princess Diana. And now there are such roadblocks, officious, embarrassing blots on our national reputation. But even I would not have dared to predict the mass house arrest under which we are all now confined. I have found the origin of this bizarre Napoleonic decree – a few clauses in the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984, which I confess I had not even heard of. It just goes to show how careful you have to be with the wording of the laws you pass. If the TV this weekend is full of pictures of people sunning themselves in city parks or escaping to the high hills, there will be plenty of zealots and politicians ready to call for yet more restrictions, subjecting all of us to collective punishment. Perhaps we will emulate the French or Italian states, which have returned to their despotic origins and reduced their populations to a sort of cowering serfdom, barely able to step into the street. I wonder whether there might also be restrictions on what can be said and published. I can see no necessary bar to this in the law involved. Section 45 C (3) (c) of the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 (appropriately enough) is the bit that does it. Once the Health Secretary believes there is a threat to public health, he has – or claims to have – limitless powers to do what he likes, ‘imposing or enabling the imposition of restrictions or requirements on or in relation to persons, things or premises in the event of, or in response to, a threat to public health’.

Don't forget the clocks went forward... I wouldn't want anyone to be late to their sofa.

I stuck map of the world on the kitchen wall and said to my wife. Here is one dart, throw it at the map and wherever it lands when this virus thing is over that is where we will go.
I never knew she was such a lousy darts player.
We are going to have two weeks behind the fridge.

We want to go to the boat today, one to check it’s still there and two to fit the oven we purchased recently, problem is the guilts kicking in and I fear the five-o pulling me in the way and turning me around, maybe I should take a bag of food and claim I am feeding the old people..
We also had a few days planned over Easter up the Ashby, was due to meet friends at the top for beers, of course this will not happen, but we still feel we should take the trip, maybe just mooring in the middle of nowhere and staying away from other boats, is that selfish?
