Well I have had two all day games this week, and was due a third today. However my freind has not come due to the weather. That was almost expected.

So I started converting the wargames room back to its secondary function as a Dining room for a family "do" for in-laws 60th wedding anniversary.  Just finished putting figures and terrain away, when Mother-in-law phones to say she has tested positive for COVID. Tomorrow is now cancelled. Typical !!!

Thank you for your concerns, however, my In-laws despite being in their 80's have consistently ignored what we have been telling them about not going out unless absolutely necessary. 
We have been dropping off shopping, only to have them say "Oh we just had to pop out and get the paper/biscuits etc that we forgot to put on the list."

Mother-in-law has insisted on going to every social gathering and funeral (social gathering for oldies  :) ) at thier chuch all through COVID, so while we are concerned, we are surprised they have got away with it up to now.
