No change there for me and, I hope, most others contributing here. My sympathies are with those, like my next-door neighbour, whose workload and a ploce constable is likely to get rather more oneraous as a result of the new, enforceable, restictions.

Same here - I've been shopping only for basic necessities and limiting myself to one (solitary) walk a day well away from places where people might gather. My medication is delivered by Royal Mail from an extremely efficient on-line pharmacy.

Why does it take the two of you to shop?

It doesn't even take two of us to shop. We can probably shop everything on-line. But our touchstone is compliance, not beyond (your mileage may vary)

Why does it take the two of you to shop? Can not one of you stay at home with the children, following your one session of daily outdoor exercise?

Ok, it does take one person with internet access, but you know what I meant.

Plus there are the deliveries from restaurants

I've just edited #793, partly to add a detail and partly to prove that postings are indeed editable.

With ghastly timing my gas oven has packed in! Engineer came round and can't fix it so I need a new one asap. Are online deliveries still able to be made? Anyone know?

Yep. And my close family scoffed at me when I suggested we all wouldn't see each other again before Easter...

Any chance of switching to electric? More planet-friendly, we are now told.

I don't know about ovens in particular, but I suspect that online deliveries have generally slowed down. I ordered a DVD from Amazon Prime on the 21st and, instead of arriving on the 22nd, it is due to be delivered on the 26th.

I ordered some sheet music today and its due 1st to 2nd May! Pet you could try googling places such as Argos and Curry’s!

My Amazon Prime delivery of hand sanitiser took 4 weeks.

On the contrary, I have no original ideas, I just take good advice!

Such a friendly thread, btw.
