Our local neighbourhood website (or whatever it is) has organised lots of people who have volunteered to collect prescriptions and shopping for those who are stoppin’ 'ome.

They plan to go around various places in a car until they find what is wanted, I gather.
And the local foodbank has had a very large amount of stuff donated in spite of the shortages!

Someone I know has just posted an extended screed of common sense on a mailing list… and while it’s all reasonably good advice, I think the less of her for it. Anyone who wants to be told what to do can find instructions from the professionals…

Have you been stockpiling yarn, Twellsy? Cliffs of Mohair, perchance?

Of course. There is also (I’m told) a thing called “common sense”. Haven’t seen enough of it to be absolutely sure I’d recognise it, but my instincts would be, when advice is to avoid unnecessary travel and large gatherings:
- Don’t fly to a four day event where you’ll be mingling with about a quarter of a million people from all over the world (The question of whether such events should have gone ahead in the circumstances is another matter)
- If you feel you must go, don’t, on your return, organise a massive piss-up then disperse to the four corners of the land

Sure.
That isn’t the middle ground in any way, shape or form.

I might add (though this is admittedly speculation) the piss-up would probably have involved passing round the trophy to be admired / photographed with. I can only hope they didn’t follow the tradition of filling it and passing it round. We’re talking about inveterate gamblers, though…

I have just read that official advice in Ireland is to assume that one has the infection, & to take steps to minimise the spread to others…

Proper wipe-down notwithstanding, are you entirely sure that is wise, dear Twellsy? I know you love it, but it strikes me as an unnecessary risk, tbh. Not that it is any of my business at all, I do realise.

Right. Bread is about to be made. Neighbour couldn’t get any earlier. Let’s hope I haven’t quite lost the knack.
