What we should know "Virus" and be doing.

[Pete Grey]

Yes MB, we decided to follow the government recommendation for the over seventies, complete isolation. We are after all set up to hunker down after an event, it’s not really been difficult, as we have been able to get more or less everything extra delivered as and when we wanted.

We have plenty masks and sanitizer and i use a hand sprayer with methylated spirit which i use on ALL that comes into the house.

If we are unlucky enough to have a second wave, most likely in September, we are planning a minimum six month isolation, so we will definitely be topping up our preps. By then we will have some home grown fruit and veg.

It would not cost too much to get in more of the basics, rice, pasta, flour, cereals, powdered milk, packets of soup, cooking oil and some more canned meat, corned beef, stewed steak, chicken breast. Both freezers are chock full.

As i’ve said i need some hardware bits and pieces, also timber, roofing felt, paint, for winter maintenance and gardening stuff, insecticide, weed killer, seeds etc. Pretty well everything else we need we can get delivered.

The main problem over the winter will probably be boredom when there is nothing to do in the garden.

Everyone take care and keep safe.
