Surreal feeling

[Danllan]

Isn't it always?

Yes, but now it must be even more so.

What are people’s predictions on how long this will last? I mean a vaccine is 12-18 months away...the country can’t stay as it is for that long...it’ll be ruined

 

[Sharpy]

It's all getting a bit spooky!! A burst hose at those hours. And I'm not kidding either.

Place that I worked on had a 35 pull a liner into its sump at the same hrs. Weird.

I’m having one a week on my tier 4 or whatever it’s called. Pity help anyone they make a ventilator for

I wonder if in places like Slough, Newport and Darlington it's like being in The Walking Dead...

Darlington has been walking dead for years

 

[yellowbelly]

Darlington has been walking dead for years

Yeah, and now it awaits the arrival of Gentry


Sorry Paul, just couldn't help myself

Oh god yes he’s there now.
The brave Brexiteer heading northwards with all his stories to tell!
But none of his own sheep to sell.

Does anyone else feel that the whole thing is very surreal
Roads very quiet
Schools shutting
Pandemonium in supermarket
Food shortages
Food rationing
Food rationing
Businesses shutting
Hardly any planes flying
Country in lockdown

Outside on the farm everything is the same, still have stuff to do animals to look after, come in a watch the news or look on line and everything is different

Yes, it's almost as if all life on Earth suddenly became intelligent life

instead of a dominant species becoming more arrogant and stupid by the year in the name of "growth" and "progress" and "freedom"

I suppose we should all learn from this how fragile things are. And if I dare say it how important our role is

It strengthens my theory how many thick people are about!
And thats coming from someone who did not go to school

 

[paul&mandy]

Its so sad, wifes nan in a dementia home that we are advised to not visit, kids a no go.
Brother in law wedding canceled/ postponed.
Cousin wedding cancelled till next year.
Our 11yr old been crying a lot, actually misses school, upset that might never go back to primary school before secondary in September.
Checked some sheep last evening that backs onto gatwick carpark, its empty. It's always full!

Airport deserted, roads deserted. Oh that's a good thing.....

I can’t help but feel the cure is worse than the disease.

I still can’t believe the Chinese didn’t do more to prevent this. Their own scientists have been warning them about it for years.

How China's 'Bat Woman' Hunted Down Viruses from SARS to the New Coronavirus

Wuhan-based virologist Shi Zhengli has identified dozens of deadly SARS-like viruses in bat caves, and she warns there are more out there

Indeed, putting our vast intellect to good use and concluding that our survival as individuals hinges on the quantity of toilet paper we are able to stockpile.
Meanwhile the rabbits and pigeons carry on as usual, poor fools!

We have to carry a permit to go outside. (Admittedly we print it ourself). I went off to the other farm without today’s (new one each day) and had to come back for it.
All very strange.

Is anyone allowed to work @czechmate ? I thought In Italy they could still go to work and shopping for essentials, although it's on lock down.

It feels a bit strange just going about my normal day to day life when the rest of the world seems to be in crisis.

Its honestly not affecting me one bit. I'm drilling spring barley. Wonder long term what the world will be like when its harvested.

Not watching television or listening to radio to avoid it. Spending 14 hours a day in tractor.

I havent been away from the farm for more than a week now. The road past us is still busy with lorries going to a windfarm. Lambing soon so even more isolation

Calving here so trying not to think too much about it is easy apart from when you come back in.
Marts and Slaughterhouses staying open is my main concern at the moment. It’s developing all the time and not for the better
