Coronavirus 2020 - What can I do?

[HwoodMike2umate]

Maybe a wee trip to the Isle of Man? Somewhere I have never been and seems safe enough so far .. https://www.gov.im/coronavirus

I know who I blame on what is officially DAY 4786 ....https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-51665704

140 cases here in Espana but nobody seems too exercised about it.
Corona beer slashed to €1 in the local supermarket but still too dear compared with the local stuff.

As I was panic buying for armageddon in Sainsburys yesterday (toilet paper etc) I also bought my first ever 12 bottle box of Corona yesterday as it was reduced nicely by £2.50 to £10. That works out at 83.33p per bottle. Not bad. But will it get cheaper?

Hope you remembered to get your bag of limes, Mike.

Yesterday in the veggie patch I dug up a whole load of last years potatoes that I should have dug up in the autumn. They seem OK so happy days. Also tidied up Strawberries and looks like a good potential crop, Rhubarb first crop coming on well and plenty of signs of growth on the Raspberries and Fruit trees. So what's all the panic about? Good to see petrol prices down. And my recently acquired tins of Spam have a sell by date of April 2023. Surely everything will have settled down by then?

As at 1.30pm today tins of Ye Olde Oak American style Hot Dogs (6) still available and still just £1 in Poundland (Ballymena). And the use by date of 12-2022 should more than see me through this crisis. Kelloggs Variety pack BB 06.02.21 should do likewise but the Pot Noodles will need eaten by NOV 2020. Spare bedroom filling up slowly.

I would have eaten a fair few of those hot dogs in my university days.

Findus Crispy Pancakes were another favourite. Between two slices of bread obviously.

[HwoodMike2umate]

Yes, had manys a Findus Crispy Pancake and baked beans back in the 70's. Pea Omelette was also a favourite of mine when trying to stretch the finances at Trinners - no more students gathering for lectures from today I see on the news. But unfortunately if I end up confined to my house and garden in the near future I currently sadly do not have any peas planted and the only person I know with chickens in their garden lives way up Craiglantlet. .

Even the RCC has cancelled services for the next few weeks. Tis something when even God himself can't protect folk in "his house".
