More Coronavirus!!

Never mind self-isolation, we are all now in lockdown. Only allowed out to get essential shopping, medical supplies or one walk a day for exercise. Otherwise stay at home.  Doesn't apply to essential workers like our Jane and anyone who works in the N.H.S. 
Hasn't really bothered us since we are not social much, and we don't have a family, most of them now being in Australia.  Vin went off to Tesco on Saturday, and got a good shop which will last us till he next goes out. He is being very careful keeping away from people and social distancing, but there are dreadful stories all the time in the papers of people doing stupid thing. The lockdown came about because last weekend there were hoardes of people on Snwdonia and in places like the Lake Districe, treating the enforced isolation like a Bank Holiday! Totally ignoring public advice.
The only appointment i had was at the podiatry clinic but they are trying to cut down on visits, so we were advised to contact the community service at Thornton. Vin did that and got an appointment for friday afternoon. Anyway yesterday we got another phone call from them to say that they are cancelling all appointments for people over seventy! Nothing more. Vin rang back to ask what we should do in that case and later a community podiatrist rang back to say that someone would visit on Friday to do the dressings. So that's it. Don't know what will happen after that. 
Otherwise it is same old same old for us!
Jessie is totally un affected by everything, she just carries on as normal. We are joking that she is self-isolating on jane's bed. that is till I come into the room then she jumps off to go and see what her daddy is doing. Charming!
Love this one!
