Lots of people are cleaning like they never have before.

The shops are peaceful.

People are not spluttering in public.

People smile and nod as a greeting (not the grubby grab).

Lob some hand gel into his bedroom MissAdventure and beat a hasty retreat for the night!
Mind you that's the standard advice with all young boys isn't it? grin

Oh yes, definitely. smile
I suppose its not so bad. I can hear them laughing (hope they're not up to no good!)

Steer clear and deep clean the room afterwards!! Put on your mask and rubber gloves.

They're always up to no good at that age aren't they?

Yep. Eyes in the back of my head, I need.

Best silver lining for me is that Trump’s useless handling of the crisis and the Stockmarket sinking is likely to mean he will not be re-elected.

Silver linings MY DD is now working from home for the forseeable. Now she doesnt have to do her daily 1 -3 hr commute on a motorway that is either at a standstill or so frantic the crazy drivers are trying to kill her. I can stay calm for a while smile

My daughter's partner is to work from home which means no bike ride through crazy traffic and my daughter and their baby son have him home. So a silver lining indeed (of course he will be working for most of the day but so delightful to know that he is just there in a nearby room) smile
