ClientCo just sent round an email. Anyone with close contact with people from Italy in last week told to self-isolate.

Chap at next desk has child just back from Italy ski trip. He has just been sent home for 2 weeks.

Though someone came from Milan office last week. So really we should all go home.....

Absolutely. It's the right thing to do. Boris said so

Not sunny

Just remembered Freeview changed its channels around in this region last night (part of the preparation for the 5G rollout, so I understand) so I’ve set the telly rescanning. Wonder which channels I won’t be able to get because of the incorrect filters on the external aerial after this?

The Australian Customs & Immigration Show still seems to work at any rate

DrS quickly checks the Freeview thingy to see if it's change around here: it hasn't.

Freecell score: 90%, running average 83%.

Score was down to 77% at one stage.

Still trying to read "A Bright Shining Lie" but I can only manage about 4 or 5 pages at a time before it sends me to sleep.

Rain has stopped. Still overcast.

The car started, but with a bit of a struggle; the cold nights over the last couple of weeks are clearly pushing the battery over the cliff

Anyway, a run down the M69 to the A5 and back has staved off the inevitable for another few days.

And after that, shopping for assorted bits was also accomplished, leaving me time to focus on important stuff like meat and beer when I go again on Friday

Won't cleaning stuff be sold out?

Leicester, it seems, is not as prone to panic buying as the Home Counties

Shelves were as fully stocked as one expects them to be at that time of day in all areas of the store I passed through. I think maybe they’d given extra shelf space to bleach as there seemed to be an awful lot of it, one or two bottles of which had gone since the shelves were last restocked. Toilet paper, which people have apparently been panic buying, was there aplenty. I didn’t examine the hand cleansing stuff shelves very closely as I was wondering whether to get some jam doughnuts, but there didn’t seem to be a crowd clustered round that area or anything.

I got a coffee & walnut cake in the end, as I had a voucher for bonus points on that which expired tomorrow

It’s rained fairly steadily for the whole afternoon, by the way

I make a very nice coffee and walnut cake, even if I do say so myself
