    Nespresso with the mutt listening to builders destroying the house beside me for renovation.

    (saudi) all malls, gyms, shops closed except food and medicine. All government closed, will see how that one impacts me.

    Morning clean done and dusted, excuse the pun :D
    Feel a bit smug truth be told. People sneered me for ages about cleaning, and only drinking from straws with pub glasses and sanitizing. Now they can see why. People are becoming willing ‘scrubbers’.

    Good morning :)

    Deskside, doing what little work there is (I’m sure I’ll regret writing that :D )

    It’s a beautiful morning here, really enjoying the good weather despite being confined to my desk.

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    Just back from dunnes, busy but it always is.

    Have to say kinda loving this new shopping experience.

    Everything is wiped down, people are keeping their distance, no one is in your personal space.

    Saw two masks, lots of gloves.

    Mexican food here too. Chilli.

    At home. We want to go away but have to decide if we want to risk being stranded away from home.

    So I am compelled to work from home this week as I have a slight cold. Feel bad about that. But there is precious little work for me to do. Which makes me feel worse as the lads in the office are out to door getting hundreds of colleagues ready for home working.
    Adjusting to this new reality it going to take me time.

    I think 'stay at home' is the best advice anyone can give you now Widders.

    Deskside at my home office/spare bedroom.

    Just working on my paper - editing stuff and re-checking data. Not an awful lot to do. Still haven't heard back on how we can
    deliver the classes online.

    I can access the work email remotely but there is very little to check.
    Yoga classes and art classes cancelled. Gym where I do my swimming is still open - for now but with reduced hours. AA meetings - most cancelled, some still running.

    Plan to take a good long walk in the Phoenix Park each day - getting out and about is good for my head!

    Hope I don't get complete cabin fever.

    Stay well, active and look after yourself Wherers. :)

    Do you know the regulars from your AA? Would it be possible to do a group chat or even allocate your meeting time to a WhatsApp group txt marathon so you all know you have each others support?

    Yes we're staying in my place now.
    I hate it here. I had v mixed feelings as I put my own stamp on it and made it a home & I have my garden but someone left awful memories here too and now it's freaking me out being trapped here. The house I liked fell through but I'm set on that area so Im watching estate agent sites like a hawk.

    Service station side. Its nice to be out and as unpopular opinion as this may be, it's nice to be among other people.

    Went for a walk.
    Sitting in the park (alone) reading “Real People” magazine and trying to choose my favourite compensation face.

    What's a compensation face? Feckers who screw others over for money?

    I feel like I'm in an alternate universe. I've done all I can do work wise today, so will start some cleaning and head out for a walk later.

    Our brains aren't equipped to deal with such sudden lifestyle changes and the overload of information. I hope you're all doing ok out there.

    Showing O.H how to tie dye and plant seeds. I lovewatching menworking withtheir hands and the look of concentration. I may have to take a shenanigans break asap.

    My phone just started continuously and violently buzzing in my hands????
    Its not a messed up phone call trying to come through and I turned off all message and email alerts so I have no idea. Now is not a good time to be phoneless.
    My electricity browned out yesterday too.

    I'll do half, or we could do alternate days.

    Final offer, I can't say fairer than that.

    Grand so.
    I might look to borrow Shoes's dog for my days. Tie the fitbit to his collar and send him off to roam the neighborhood...10k steps - no bother!

    OK, well be sure to detach the fitbit from his collar and put it on your wrist when you are carrying him back to the house.
    You would not want me to miss those steps!

    Could everyone post up what they've just watched on NetFlix with either a "Good" or "Bad" recommendation? We need sensible ways to entertain ourselves!

    Also, I think everyone should set aside 5 minutes every evening to pray for all the Broadband providers: if we lose that, we're all dooooooomed!!
