The silver lining... Plusses from the 'panic'

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)

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

I thought that was just proper gander stuff.

What's sauce for the goose .....

Pigs can fly eebeew his devotees love him.
Sorry this is the cheerful thread.

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.

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

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

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

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

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?

That's brilliant, if it isn't fake news.

Saw a pic on the internet of an old Chinese man of 100 whe was walking from hospital cured. A bit of hope if it was true.

anyway this particular elderly vulnerable person is just back from okaying 36 games of mixed doubles outdoor tennis

Oh thank you.
I've had a strange day, workwise, and come home to find I'm apparently hosting a sleepover for boys. Lots of boys.

I'm currently hiding in my bedroom, and grandson has had the "gritted teeth, hushed tone" conversation about perhaps asking first.

Yay, no football

Stay safe and well, MissAdventure for your lovely DGS, your silver lining ?

Sussexborn what's seratonin and how do I get more?

Friday 13th 11.54 ...MissAdventure

I wish I was like a neighbour near me as I imagine she said " stuff it, I'm off on holiday "-------and she has too and will totally ignore what's going on. Oh what it is to be carefree in your 70's and not bother what's on the news.

Online banking is 100% safe, after all it's in the bank's interest to have multiple safeguards and security in place as they would have to reimburse you. I trust online banking implicitly and you can keep an eye on your expenditure on a daily basis plus much much more.
You can even keep your store and loyalty cards on your phone so you never need to actually carry your cards.
If you're at all interested, your bank can explain and show everything in detail over a drink of tea, coffee or hot chocolate.

Thanks Peardrop50 ? It's good to be back. I've missed you all but enjoyed the break.
