Work as normal for me, apart from i am on basic hours so i now do 30 mins on cross trainer before work and 30 mins when i get home instead of 45 mins i used to do when i get home. No real restrictions for us as folk still have to have their fire systems looked after as it could void the insurance.
Nice going in pubs when none of the p*** heads are in. Taking half the time now to service as they just give us the keys and let us get on with it as there is no one there

Now that we can't go out, MrsW has come up with a 'to do' list of jobs for me that would cover both sides of a toilet roll. If she could get hold of one that is.....

I can't work from home and work won't close as they supply the NHS as well as care homes with hygiene products and PPE. Got a call this afternoon saying don't come in as I'm on the high risk list, despite only being type 2 diabetic. I'm not one for taking time of work and feel guilty not being able to go in. I found out tonight it's apparently going to be for 12 weeks. I've spent the last 3/4 months non stop doing up the new house, wish I'd have saved it all now to give me something to do. There are still jobs but I won't be going out to get the stuff I need and the shops won't be open anyway. But the zed hasn't been touched all of this time apart from a couple of quick cleans so looks like it will be getting some much needed love over the coming weeks 
. I reckon it will be back to bare metal the amount of polishing it's going to get.

Time to dig that swimming pool you always promised yourself.

This is how it may look for me (pic taken during Derby vs Man Utd and I'm not one of the ones with 4 legs!)
Sorry you guys (and Girls) are going to be at the front line during this mess Mac, be careful and stay well.
Tony.
ps. Our lass is a nurse so she's in it too.
Back down Cornwall for another stint on same day admissions but been told I’ll be needed on itu for the foreseeable future. Busy over the weekend at home though doing my wife’s bidding earned a lot of zed tokens me thinks. Hopefully be able to go home after fridays shift to do some more work on mine if there’s no travel ban and it remains dry.
I've on my way to work now to deliver my NON ESSENTIAL window profiling

My trade is classed as Key Worker (life safety systems) So work has informed us we will more or less just be doing call outs unless the customer says otherwise. Hopefully they will be paying us for staying at home to deal with the callouts if not we could end up with less than the 80% the Government has offered as we wont of been layed off

Soooo The Boris has said we can go for an exercise a day, do you think we can change that to an evening drive? Lets be fair an hour out in the zed and you're not going to come into contact with anyone 
Vids like this help keep me sane generally... No talking, just old stuff being reclaimed and restored back to working use.

Also, this Aussie who melts stuff down and makes ingots and stuff. I've lost hours watching these in the evening, again no talking just action (of a sort)!

One Tiny 20 Tonne Pile to move
Then a pile of timber to create coloshers for the raised beds to protect the veg.
Plenty to do here in the sun the excercise bit not a problem.

At least we have garden weather, a bit of sun on the face is nice.
