That is exactly how I imagine Noel Edmonds looks, before the make-up people get to work on him. Hullo. I've been awake since 5.42 am, balls. OTTM: Pizza Pockets? Just say no. I could've saved myself hard cash by throwing up into a handkerchief and microwaving it. Filth. Anyway, here's Tom Selleck to cheer you up with his amazing dancing eyebrows:-  |

Go in to work early to get my computer and go home, get told to stay til 8 as there’s going to be a briefing from the big manager.
So, a big gathering of way more than 2 people.
Great stuff.

A 6-7 a.m. delivery turns out to be the latter. 5.15 a.m. start; had breakfast* going back to sleep until Nurset arrives. Still, my delivery contained toilet rolls.
*12 tablets, a yoghurt and 2 hot cross buns.
My access to internet stuff is horribly slow. Connection returns 386mbps... I'm going back to sleep

My access to internet stuff is horribly slow. Connection returns 386mbps... I'm going back to sleep I'm currently running approx 4.5 Mbps. Still, should have super-duper fibre at some point today or a foul-up will occur leaving me with no internet at all.* Emergency measures roundup: I can't get a haircut, but I can purchase a new bicycle. Harumph. *You can stop cheering now. |

Our internet seems to fluctuate wildly between 3 Mbps and 26 Mbps.
So Boris has gone full Palpatine with emergency powers and sombre addresses. I still have not had booze since Saturday and I now suspect it's a dick move for me to nip to the shop down the road for a crate. Sobriety here I come.
No games due to baby.

33 Mbps here, according to the Which speed checker.
Morning! I went and panic bought 4 bottles of beer last night and it freaked me out. There was one other person in the shop, and she still managed to walk within inches of me about 5 times. The cashier was not wearing gloves. There were squads of teenagers roaming the streets. Hell of a situation.

Morning,
Did a supermarket run this morning. It was fairly quiet.
There's a new build housing estate being built at the end of my road. Business as usual there. Dozens of blokes stood about. Still, it's only a bit of flu. Doesn't even affect anyone really.

The construction industry has been getting mixed messages so far. Some of our sites have closed and some haven't. There's still no reason why I can't be working from home but here I am... |

I suppose it comes down to whether or not you consider carrying on building new houses as "essential" activity during a global pandemic.

Morning citizens of your respective sectors! Do we all receive our food cubes from the state-robots?
TVblog - no, at least I don't think I did. Did I?
Gamesblog - nope
Amigablog - odd errors when copying files to an SD card. Investigation required.

We can't book a supermarket delivery slot or even a click and collect anymore. It has begun. We will be hunting cats for food by the end of the week.

This is the worst skiing holiday I’ve ever been on, it’s like being stuck in my back garden.
Still, at a quick count I’ve got about 40 beers, 20 bottles of wine, 6 bottles of fizz and and indeterminate amount of spirits. I’m a bit worried that my extra 2 cases of wine aren’t going to turn up, mind you, and I’m feeling that smashing into the champagne at the moment is possibly a little decadent.
I’m not hoarding, it’s not going to last long enough to count as hoarding. On Monday* morning I expect to find myself languishing on a heap of empties, weeping.
*Wednesday.
