Self Isolation.

But no-one admits to panic buying 

Accidentally panic bought pasta!  Managed to get two small bags of white (and a brown) from the campus' shop because we were down to our last handful, then we managed to get a Sainsbury's delivery and a large bag of pasta...

Spent the day finishing off the back-bedroom, so that I can set up a semi-permanent WFH environment. Got distracted when putting up the curtain poles by the two young ladies a few doors down who were doing yoga in their back garden, wearing leggings & a sports bra, so it took longer than it should have . . .

Yeah, I can imagine handling a pole under those circumstances could get quite tricky in a tight environment

I'll hold my hand up here - last week I bought a 9-pack of toilet rolls instead of the normal 4-pack.

"My name is Raider4 and I am a panic buyer" /sobs.

Me too 

Campus shop had a limited supply so bought two four-packs 
There are six of us at home though

Why did you fondling a pole upright make their yoga take longer?!

Did you take any photos?

Some good advice in these times ... from a while ago.

Very good
The small bore rifle practice might yet come in handy - a bloke over the back of me is starting to drive me nuts with his music blaring out as he suns himself in the garden.

And it is only day 2!

I await next doors teenage daughter opening her window and cranking the volume up to eleven. Makes the garden unusable.

That said her parents are also home ofc and last time they came back and found her with the volume ranked up they had an even louder shouting match and it stopped, so maybe I'm getting pre-annoyed over nothing

Wondering if my fence panel will appear. We have a gaping hole in a fence, which would be fine if a/ the dog escaping wasn't a worry, and b/ we're (well me) am quarantined and if my wee one mixes with the other (much more pleasant) next door kids we're blowing a huge hole in that. Hard to explain to a six year old she can't see her friends, or go in the garden, or if she does they have to stand at opposite ends of the garden and can't kick a ball about/run around/do stuff together

On the plus side the sudden drop in air pollution has left us some lovely weather!

Noisy neighbours with amplification - ugh. SARS, AIDS, corvid-19, and the Black Death together are a piece of angel cake by comparison.

If you lived a bit (a lot) closer Nathan, I could lend you an old amp...and the speakers, to go with it... That you could probably 'pee off' an area of a square mile.

Von would almost certainly kill me, if I wound up my system to 11.....11 ?..... Nah...it would be more like 30....And there wouldn't be any distortion.  .....Probably do some structural damage to the house, though.

Cheers - Phil (I'll just stick with the tiny system I've got sitting on the desk.....It's safer.)

You got a licence for that system Phil ? Sounds like it should be a prohibited weapon under the firearms act !

Nice, must be handy for blasting across the road when you have to sheep wrangling Phil

Neighbour-daughter restrained on music. Neighbour-actual has got what sounds like a squadron of lump hammers demolishing the crap he's accumulated in the garden. So... progress?!

[Techno]

Sheep wrangling......BOG OFF !  they weigh more than I do.........I haven't got a chance of shifting them, when they drop dead, anymore.....I have to wait until the foxes, raptors and the corvids have had a good munch.....and then go and pick up what's left.....Last time, I couldn't find any remains at all, after a couple of days.  (That saved a tenner.)

Lump hammers ?....Not sure that that's progress, Nathan.....But I hope it is !

Cheers - Phil 

[toxicpixie]

Sadly it wasn't really progress - my wee one had gone out to have breakfast in the sunshine and a nice play in the quiet, then next door started the demolition work and she had to come back in. They'd also kicked of a very stinky fire to dispose of the carp he was demolishing!

Can you help the carrion collectors along, Phil? Carve off a couple of legs of mutton for the freezer quick

Isn't repeat playing of Witney Houston singing The Bodyguard theme tune ("I Will Always Love You") classified as GBH ... sure I read that somewhere ...mutter, mutter, mutter, growl!
