Lockdown diaries - COVID-19 matters!

Made me an ice cream milkshake to try and cheer up

Tin Roof Salted Caramel and Dark Choc Toasted Almond. With a shot of double espresso.

PS Don't listen to your wife when she says she doesn't want milkshake. She will drink half of yours!

And the global spread could have been prevented if foreigners in China didn't throw their toys out of the cot and insist on going back to their home countries. The virus would have been contained in China. Look at Italy - one person who had been in China returned to Italy ... and that's how it started.

In all fairness quite possibly me and you if we were in a foreign country and a virus broke out that was a killer we would of been on the first flights home, it's easy to criticise in hindsight and when we are not in that position!

I guess you're right...

In fact the UK Governments position is they have told all British people who are abroad to return home and are arranging to charter flights from places there is no travel.

I decided it was soup night. Then we made a few chips for those that wanted something extra ,but two bowls and a cup of tea was good enough for me.

Sounds good, already had two batches down the hatch, doing two more tomorrow, one with chicken one with some mince. Best food especially with the weather.

Chicken sounds nice but I don't like meat in the soup. I take it out and eat it seperate.
Seafood is on another level ,throw in as much seafood as you like and the broth must be light. Winner winner seafood dinner!!!

Fixed myself a big bowl of Ice Cream, with chopped Banana and Honey drizzled over the top, then some Zzzzzzzzz's

Yes, night shifts are awesome! I sit and watch movies all night long and no one bothers me. The people under my command are out on the vehicles looking for chancers and either chase them home or arrest them, but our area is very quiet and dead at night anyway (pre-corona) so now it's completely dead. I love it. It's like I'm already on pension.....lol

That’s interesting @zadiac
Would you say crime overall is lower during lockdown compared to before?

DAY 10 09:30
Crashed last night unusually early 10 pm and only woke up at 9am , heard a car or two but nothing else , the sun is out for a change . Think the local wildlife will pop out later. Picked up the news on Broadband - not too rosey. https://mybroadband.co.za/news/gove...y-several-weeks-report.html?source=newsletter
If lockdown continues we are all going to be bankrupt , the companies are going to fall like flies . Latest count from yesterday shows an increase from 43 to 80 - we are standing at 1585 as of this morning .

Perhaps some restrictions would continue for longer than 21 days but if the people don’t get back to work and try get the economy going I think it’s going to be harder to start it up again.

It’s a trade off

Was a tough decision for the authorities to impose the current lockdown. I imagine it’s going to be an even tougher decision on the issue of extending it...

Just holding thumbs for the best or least damaging outcome for all

If they extend it i doubt if the economy will recover. The major issue is small business, i feel for them. Most will not make it through the current lockdown financially, nevermind an extension.

I fully agree. But with the DA, a fart has more credibility

Agreed @SmokeyJoe , we are in for a tough ride either way

But I do think the economy will recover eventually - it just means it might take longer...
V shaped recovery looking less likely...
More like a U shape with a longer bottom part...

Heavy prep underway, have a Potjie competition starting at 12. We are 5 households having a virtual comp, each with a theme, team and Potjie name.
SWAMBO and I got Domestic Violence as a theme these random generators are screwy. But no problem. Team Ike and Tina, and our Potjie is a Moer-By-Pot named: 'I don't want to fight'
Time to light the fire!

Just been to Dischem to get some VG. Almost collapsed R42 for 200ml. But what can a guy do in these tough times, got to make juice.....

£5 (R117) is a very good price in the UK! @RainstormZA mentioned that when DIYing the juice tastes different in the UK and put it down to the concentrates but maybe it's the difference in VG quality!
