Strewth - this social distancing game is a bit boring. We're actually getting some jobs done in the house instead of going out but we'll soon run out of those. I've even been sweeping the drive.
So we're off out for a walk tomorrow - sod this staying in lark.

We went for a walk on the beach at West Wittering today. Miles of sand, bright Spring sunlight, blustery March wind. Just the sort of place for some self-isolation.
About twelve thousand other people all thought so, too.
Luckily, it's the start of the growing season, and seeing that there's a 'run' on seeds and compost etc., (to alleviate shortages in five month's time no doubt), I'm sowing everything I can, sitting in the greenhouse!
JRT needs a walk too, so when we meet the others, we just stand apart and bellow inanities, instead of giving each other a huge hug...:0(
Just from a long blustery walk where we met a friend (by chance) and conducted an ambulatory conversation from a respectful distance for several miles.
I don't know about coronavirus but, by the time all this finishes, my vocal projection skills will be worthy of the RSC.
Sam - our early moorland walk today wasn't that bad, but by the time we'd finished the walk there were more people around than we've ever seen before.
Scrobs and Macheath - social distancing was very obvious on our walk today. Discreet but obvious.
Just wait till the controllers in our midst find a reason that going for a walk 100 yds from the nearest person is hazardous and means you should be arrested and confined inside.
Any bets being made that the murder rate in 12 weeks time more than makes up for any putative lives saved from respiratory illness?
Nessimmersion - I'm sure frustration will turn out to be more contagious than the virus and from that - who knows?
Just back from another walk; people here too are carefully ensuring social distancing, the result of which is a rather elegant short gavotte every time two couples meet along a narrow path.
