Hey ho ... is this curmudgeonly enough? OH's company aren't going to take part in the government scheme to pay 80% of his wages ... belt tightening starts here đ They've told him that he can apply for Benefits ........ but he won't get any 'cos he lives with me and I have "Savings" ... aka my little pension pot Â

I donât think Davids firm will pay either, if he claims benefit from what I can see is ÂŁ94.00 per week, Â that wonât cover his rent. I can see him not mentioning his government at risk form and carrying on. He also feels a sense of duty to deliver these medical packages.Â

He only works part-time on a Zero-hours contract but usually works around 20 hours a week ... no way of selling paintings at the moment ... galleries and exhibitions all closed. Having looked online I can't really see why they should choose not to access the scheme ... we'll go into it a bit deeper tomorrow. Â

Looks like the local chavs had a school shutting blowout up the woods on the weekend. I suspect more diseases than just CV-19 were passed about that night  Broken glass and cans left everywhere as usual. Normally I go and clear up for recycling but even with gloves and tongs I don't fancy the risk right now. I'll report to the council I suppose and see if they're still doing litter picks.
It's weird walking the dog right now. Everyone is very wary and giving each other a wide berth. It feels really impolite, like you're treating people like lepers.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I wish I hadnt gone down to the local superstore to pick uo my new glasses. On the way out , some arsehole coughed beside me. I hadn't been out of the house for a week!
My brother-in-law works for Royal Mail. Despite the coronavirus RM have failed to provide them with gloves, still require them to stand side by side to sort the mail, and insist on calling all staff together every day into a crowded meeting area. They have also asked people to bring hand sanitiser in from home!
I've been very wary of the mail. Most delivery drivers seem to be taking sensible precautions but our postman doesn't seem like he'd understand hygiene rules.

That chat is also starting to sound very similar to Monty Python...
