Got that job (priced as normal) plus lots of follow on work. Also had another builder phone with 2 biggish quotes to do. Happy days.

Crap.
Doctor Who S12 done.
Back to Netflix then
Grrrrr.
Didnāt send the spokes. Apparently going in the post today.
As it happens I still canāt leave the house so no real loss.
Have you not had your results back yet? I thought it was 2-3 days turnaround?
When I registered for the test, it said 24-48 hours for the results. When I registered the results, it said 3-5 days.
As mentioned, lockdown is in stage 2 of easing here, so trip to the local Outlet Mall ānewsagentsā in the hope theyād have my Tobacco & avoid a trip into Krakow. They did!!
So, a bit of a Post Apocalyptic preview
PPE Vending Machines. Damn how did we miss that idea 
- Posters stating the # of people allowed insinside at any one time
- All seating areas roped off and NO PEOPLE!
There were shop staff in full visor masks. The luggage stores were open just in case you desperately needed a Ryanair approved cabin bag.
No panic dumping of stocks - I think the stores hope to supply people who urgently need stuff rather than normal shoppers
Because youāre not a complete cunt?

Obviously itās terrible that 40k + people have died. Itās awful that NHS staff have had to go to work ill prepared and lacking protection. I know this is against the grain, but for me this has been one of the best time ever. Iāve loved lockdown. And itās even better now Mrs Fatso has gone to look after her mum. I like spending time drinking alcohol, listening to music, gardening and fucking around. And Corona has given me the excuse to do all of that. Iām loving it.

Donāt disagree - Iāve really enjoyed spending time with the family, training myself up on bits and pieces, coming up with business ideas, researching etc, sitting in the sun having a lunchtime beer or three, BBQing and all safe in the knowledge I donāt have to spend any time bumping into anyone who voted Conservative, Brexit, or both

I left UK in '93. Back then I was working 7 day weeks & saw the kids on Eurocamp holidays.
In the sandpit I was living to work. Sure we did crazy shit but that was because we found ways to get work to pay for it.
Last 10 years has been 3 start ups.
I used to dream of simply switching off. Vacations were never chill outs I cant do that, they were full on.
Coming here, the stress of " the great escape" & struggle to find a job (i loved) yet again, crazy hours.
Then Coronavirus.
Iām stressed about finding any form of income, BUT, these 2 months have recharged my soul.
Being picky, 1 more month & wed have replaced the gas hob with a proper cooker with an Oven & Grill, but weāve eaten well despite that.
The time we have bought by not 
catching it has given them time to hopefully find some shit that will work IF I get Iāll.
So yeah.
Loved it.
And you bunch of cvnts have added immeasurably to itā¦

Weāre under Heathrowās, so you still get a few, but I agree it is much quieter. Either that or itās drowned out by the kids.
