shadowhive: (Bert/Dan Making out)
[personal profile] shadowhive
Did anyone ever expect we’d get... this in our lifetime? These are strange days and it’s so... weird.

The local Nisa and co-op are both cleared out of the following: fresh fruit and veg, frozen veg, milk and dairy stuff, fish and meat. I’ve never seen the shelves at either so empty. Though mum got a ridiculous op bag of potatoes from Nisa which was... way too much,

We usually get a sainsburys shop today delivered but there’s no slots open in the three weeks. Obviously that’s not... ideal. We’ve been to home bargains today and, thankfully, they had milk and cheese and a few other things. We’re going to sainsburys in the morning to see what we can get. I usually wouldn’t, it’s quite far to walk and I’d rather just isolate as best we can, but I need to pick up my meds from the boots next to it so... there’s no option.

Mum thought about going today but so hanged her mind before bed last night so this morning I just.... kinda shut down? After briefly going on Animal Crossing and I just.... zoned out,

All this means I’m not doing uni reading until Wednesday, I don’t think they’ve decided what’s happening with the assessment but I think... I’d not be surprised if it got changed drastically. Everyone is panicking and a few are talking about deferring so..l I’d not be surprised if it was changed, we’ll see,

Not helpful is British Gas wants to be contacted but there’s no email and just.... ugh.

Hopefully after all this we’ll get legislation protecting and rewarding front line workers, the nhs properly funded and universal basic income. That is if we make it through.

This weekend has been... well odd. Tiring causa stress creeping back. However I’ve had the best nights sleep since getting animal crossing, which is good. Saturday we watched mrs brown’s boys cause Barrowman was on and he was funny. People were doing a watch along with an old Eurovision so I watched it later. I didn’t watch for all the voting so I just went to bed then. It’s odd watching it with no commentary.

I had to make mum a Mother’s Day card causa everything is I used my new pens to make it, it’s got Lao the pets on the front though I’m not great at arting.

On Animal Crossing the museum is done and I already have one fossil complete, a sabre tooth tiger, I have one villager moved in (I invited three from the nook miles islands, though oddly it was the second one that I invited that came in first). And I’ve been around people’s islands. I’ve got most fruits planted now, I just need oranges. Like I’ve said, I’m so glad it’s came now cause it’s really helping everyone.

I’m gonna go back on Animal Crossing in a bit, then tonight continue with my Who run with The Visitation.

I hope everyone is doing ok and staying safe.

Universal. Basic. Income. I'm gonna keep saying it till it happens. It would solve so many problems that are floating around at the moment and free up people to focus on the more important issues, like containing/minimising/solving this thing.

Keep safe, hon. When you've got to go out, you've got to go out. Be antisocial, be careful and follow the handwashing advice and you should be fine!

I've been a UBI proponant for years. The benefits system makes me want to spit teeth, and UBI makes more sense in terms of ease of administration and eradication of stigma

Looks like it will be. I am...not looking forward to restricted hound exercise, I have to admit. I love my dogs, but they can be real wankers when they're bored. Might have to build a canine enrichment zone in the garden...

The biggest challenge will be to get everyone singing from the same hymn sheet (the ability of the left wing to split hairs, and therefore dilute their message, over the tiniest little thing really depresses me).

Current thinking is that there are two of us, and we're both allowed to exercise once per day. So, that's two walks, right? I bloody hope so, anyway!

Strange times is right.

Despite getting a lot of my entertainment online, I'm missing going out freely a lot. And that's just after a few days.

When at Sainburys this morning it was sad to see the rows of other shops all shut, especially McDonalds that seems to be open always.

I'm glad you've got Animal Crossing to distract you.
