    OH has just printed off the form we need to complete if we go out and it now includes a line for what time we left home.  I only need one a week for groceries but he needs one daily for walkies even tho we haven't seen anyone else go past on foot for a week now.

    It seems likely that France will extend it's lockdown to the end of April now and not just another 2 weeks and there are increasing curfews between 8pm and 6am because, despite everything, some people just don't get what STAY AT HOME means.   Unfortunately there is no justice  in such situations and the idiots are jeopardising people others care for an about and won't stop till it's one of their own.

    @Obelixx , Just wondering how are people in France getting hold of those forms if they haven't got printers at home? There are thousands of people here without internet, printers or fancy phones so that would be another big logistical nightmare.

    I have two ladies in my patchwork group who do not have internet access or mobile phones.   Other ladies in the group who live nearby are printing off copies for them and putting them in their letter boxes.  We also have regular phone calls to check they're OK.

    I have set up a system whereby the rest of us have regular emails with news, ideas, photos of what we've been making whilst housebound.   That way we feel connected and reassured.

    @Obelixx, where have you printed the new form from? The old one seemed to be everywhere but not this one. OH has just gone out to pick up the shopping and used the old form and hand written the time he has left the house. Thanks!

    OH does it @Floralies.   He has some government (I think) news feed that keeps him up-to-date.  Will ask him when he comes in for his lunch as he's down the garden at the mo.

    He already looks like Humpty Dumpty, so maybe that's why. A brisk wind to remove that hamster and he's there.....

    If he gets any darker, he'll look like an Easter egg too. He's already the right shape :D

    Humpty Dumpty built a big wall
    Humpty Dumpty lies to us all
    But all the thick women and all the thick men
    Will probably vote for Humpty again
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I hadn't realised when l read that barbecue story that the majority of those people were in their 60s.
    There's no hope.
