Hiya Steff, how's this virus affecting you guy's down under ?

[twix123]

Hi Steff and Tony, I hope that you are all keeping well.

Lucky guess on the first one (remember Mystic Meg and her crystals on the original Lottery shows).

[tonyav]

remember Mystic Meg

Ohhh yes, who was it that used to call her 'septic Peg' ?

[seekeerz]

Not too badly at all for me personally, I've got my shopping sorted, and plenty to do here at home - I'd like to be able to catch up friends for coffee but I'll survive, thanks.

How about you ?

[tonyav]

Glad to hear that you are coping, Steff.

Pretty rough up here though, I am on furlough ( as are many many others ) from work at least for another two weeks ( probably longer I think ).

But stay safe, Steff.

We're not too bad thanks, Mrs. T. being put on the 12 week confined to barracks vulnerable list as she is at risk with her COPD. I retired for the second time over 8 years ago, just fed up that I can't get out to the golf course.

I've been going to the local shops this week, as my exercise, with our daughter getting a larger shop for us in town. She's not allowed to work, as all the pubs have been shut, and her 12 year old daughter is not happy as she can't see her friends.

Our grandson has also offered to shop for us, but he is working flat out as his company makes protective kit for CT & MRI scanners, and X ray machines, but they are also now going to start fabricating parts for ventilators. His employers check his temperature twice a day as the staff cannot keep social distancing.

Stay safe, all of you xx

Well done indeed to your grandson, twix.

Was in a similar situation my self up until last Friday, were I work ( used to be British Steel ), we supply the canning industry with the coils of steel strip to make the cans ( the supermarket shelves had been stripped of canned goods ) and also manufactures of medical equipment with surgical grade steel. They are still running ( just about ) on a skeleton crew.
