Day two 26-3. I am not self isolating, but being careful and unlike many other dickheads, am not congregating in numbers or playing touch football on the Esplanade. In order to survive a restricted movements regime, I (Penny is still going to work) am staying indoors as much as possible. I have planned a day a bit like the Army. Up at 0700 for PT, before a shower and shave and into clean clothes. No hanging about hairy, dirty and in jim jams. Breakfast at the table, then a strict regime of work followed by mornos. Then a break for house duties and another work period leading up to lunch. This is to be followed by a brisk walk and the final session at the computer doing tutoring work or social contact.
Ah, the best laid plans are stymied by the weather. No PT in the pissing down rain. "pussy" I hear you shout! Well, it looks like all of today will be needed to set up the office, sort out Zoom on both office PC and laptop, clear the pile of old paperwork and disinfect the desk and keyboard with commercial strength sanatizer.
I have also taken on the responsibility to sanatize all the door handles, lift buttons and stair hand rails in the common area, twice a day. So as you can see, a good plan, keeping mind and body active. We will see how it works out! Also like Graeme, I shall try very hard to adhere to 'no TV after 0800 until 1700 and no alcohol until then as well.' mmmmm
Made it to 1300 and the office is sort of normal. A washing basket of old papers in the bin and a beer carton of stuff for the shredder. Plus all this old computer stuff. Anyone need a dongle? It will all be useless soon when the Corona apocalypse comes!
Last night we had a bit of a kerfuffle with our neighbour being visited by three police officers at 2200 hrs. We think this may be because he (allegedly) bashed a bloke with a bit of metal pipe in the car park opposite, the night before. Since I am home all day now, I have been assigned to keep a sharp eye out.
I made some Jewish Penicillin the other day and turbo charged it with chilli. I think that is what has given me hot flushes this afternoon after a large bowl for lunch.
For those of you who need a little light reading during the social distancing, the short story, 'New Guinea Gold' at the link below may be of interest.
