Walking up there I became concerned as the sign that projects from the wall wasn’t illuminated. I thought I might get there and find the door barred with only telephone/online orders allowed, or something pandemic-related like that. But it turned out they’d just forgotten to turn it on because they’d been so busy earlier in the evening
As well as the new owner, Janet, the previous owner, was there helping out (“I thought I’d be getting Friday and Saturday nights off now, but no such luck” or words to that effect) and we all had a jolly chat about the coronavirus and the apparent positive effects on the takeaway business of everybody being stuck at home and fed up of eating stockpiled pasta

Feeling a bit sad as I've made the tough decision not to accompany HWMBO up to Scotlandshire when he returns home tomorrow.
We have no idea when we will see each other again as any future visits could potentially need a quarantine period.Comment

On the box tonight, I started with a repeat of Annihilation (2018). Looking at my comments on my previous viewing, I’d say I enjoyed it more this time around, maybe because I wasn’t trying to work out what people had been whinging about when it came out. I reckon it’s worth watching, though maybe not if you’re in need of an adrenalin boost as it’s quite contemplative except for the brief moments when it’s quite savage. I think I’ll find some time to read the book too. All in all, I like it
And after that, a non-repeat (for me) with a kind of precursor of that Ocean film I rewatched last night: Out of Sight (1998), a heist/caper movie starring George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, and Ving Rhames. I expect it was a fair bit cheaper to make than the $180 million or so they spent on Ocean’s 11, as it doesn’t bother with fancy casinos in Las Vegas, and I daresay the gritty Detroit boxing gym in one important scene came a lot cheaper than such places on the location fee. But it was smart, funny, well-plotted, and even had a romantic sub-plot thrown in for good measure. A lot better than I expected it to be, fun to watch, with good performances; recommended
It’s been very quiet out there tonight compared to a usual Saturday. Taxi drivers must be completely fecked by all the ongoing closures; I watched the road for a few minutes, and saw just one. It’s been like Boxing Day night out there, and this is one of the busiest roads in and out of the city
