BUT .... I have to make her a latte 10:30 or thereabouts each morning.

A small price to pay for such freedom ... a good hearted woman 

Mrs Orcs and I have our vaccinations booked for next Tuesday morning. 

Due to a quirk where our doctor is we have a 40 mile round trip to get it, when there are two other vaccination centers in 3 miles .

Von had her first jab, this morning. 

Cheers - Phil.

Great news Phil!

Thats good. Both of you @done' now

Von was chuffed to bits.

We'll TRY and go for a joint visit in the local surgery for our second jabs.

Cheers - Phil

Good for Von - now you are looking end of May or early JUne for the 2nd assault

We'll both be taking the same 'lock-down' care for months and months.....even after we've both had our second 'jabs'. Ian. 

I do keep thinking of Yann's (Barbarian's) warnings when this all started.....He (sadly) was SO right....And I'm as guilty as anyone of those who thought....."No...don't exaggerate....it'll fizzle out."

Boy, was I suckered.

Cheers - Kryton.

I still am, although no where near what Govt want me too, I'm supposed to be highly vulnerable.....Still go down town to Asda, and was prepared to comute by train to to Halewood. Still am.

On a more depressing note I've just heard that a freind Mike Yates is in hospital undergoing palliative care, I'll keep peps in the loop.

Awww...Ian.

All the very best - Phil.

Ta La

Sorry to hear that Ian

Good to read that those here are taking sensible precautions (if only those outside my window were as cautious) and sorry to hear your news Ian.

Phil, I was warned by a couple of research virologists online of what was coming and self-isolated about a fortnight before self-isolation was a thing. Even I feel I underestimated things!

After a brief flurry of activity, painting is back on hold as I vanish down the rabbit hole that is "Valheim," a computer game where you are a dead Viking hero plucked, by Odin, from the ranks of the worthy dead of Midgard to combat the evil menace attempting to break out from it's imprisonment in the world of Valheim.

It's a survival game set in a procedurally generated world where you are dropped into the game in your underpants and left to work out how to find things to eat, to gather resources and to create shelter aided occasionally by sage advice from the raven Hugin. I have graduated from beating things to death with a stick to hacking them up with a bronze axe .... such is progress

With five million subscribers, despite being "early access" (i.e. still being made!) and up to five hundred thousand players at any one time it's already as surprising success.

You can play solo or with up to ten players in a world.

"I am just going outside and may be some time."

Currently a mix of pottering about in the garden and woodworking in the garage, when it's warm enough for the latter, as currently a tad cold for craft related activities. Wargaming should resume next week as SWMBO returns to school, giving me more free time during the day .
