58 days left of freedom.
Have tried the idea of self isolation for "50 minutes" ahead of time (wife one end of table me tother) but descided far better to go get fork lift and continue picking up cut branches laying round the outside of the fields.
The only company I will get is the Red Kites even the dogs prefer the car seat.

Heard of someone else who had it, says can't even go into the garden?
Yes even having the windows open is frowned upon .I have had 4 more texts this morning telling me to become a hermit and have things i need left on the doorstep .I suppose its for the best you have to think of others first.
As long as the cigarettes and Coffee hold out i will cope :)

Just had the text off the NHS to stay in for 12 weeks :(
Anyone else had the msg yet ?
I’m waiting for my text or a letter. I hit all the criteria on the asthma front, I got sent home from work as too high risk on Monday. Yesterday they phoned and said I can come back once I’ve finished this course of steroids :unsure: I questioned am I supposed to go against government guidelines about staying in and doing nothing for 12 weeks or are they happy for me to ignore that and come work in a hospital:unsure: they are currently seeking guidance with occi health and will let me know!

Not had any communication but I do have 27 days to go until I get really old. Do you think I will at that stage get the 12 week confinement? (no not from the family)
There could be a bonus from complete lock down I wont be able to see how bad the Black Grass is! and could be then let out for a normal harvest date start.
Serious now just have a look at your will's. Do one if you haven't got one what ever age you are. if you have one make sure it is easy and family executors, family could then if needed appoint professional's as needed and family has control. Seen it it too many places where family loose control to professionals and even worse non "professional" friends/people. (I have been one of these) I may have done good but still got 6 years to run looking after "minors".
