Excellent idea. Could we persuade the BBC to do a c*r*n*-free programme too?
A year ago I stopped listening to most of Radio 4 because of the relentless coverage of Br*x*t. For the past several weeks they’ve done the same with the plague. Yes, I want the latest news but not every programme dealing with the same theme all day every day.
It’s bad enough being shut up alone. I want the radio to keep me company but there’s nothing left to listen to except Radio 3 in the evenings. Tonight that’s doing Shostakovich so I’m sitting here in silence.

On my perambulation today I saw loads of daffodils, the very first bluebells peeping through, flowering currant and a rather splendid tabby and white cat who was patrolling outside like he owns the place. Which of course he does. grin

I have just been taking part in an experiment , involving my iphone , ipad and lap top , something to do with goodness knows what and I am red faced sweating and fed up , my head hurts . But it seems it was very helpful to my child , laughing like a drain she was !

I’ve been in the garden all day but I’m in now with a cup of tea and backache? Oh have just spotted the ironing. Should have sat in the other chair.......

Loving the sunshine in North Devon too!

As are the cats, they have been out, then in, then out, then in, ad nauseum! At this rate we will need to replace the handle on the kitchen window!

I am loving the sunshine at the moment and have enjoyed sitting in the garden planning on what needs doing next ! DH is not so impressed with all the plans ???

Are you feeling overwhelmed by all the coverage of 'that virus'? Do you dream of dancing toilet rolls? Do you need some light relief or a distraction from it all? If so, then a warm welcome to the No Corona Zone.

We have banned coronavirus from this area of the forum - if only we could eradicate it so easily elsewhere - and will do our best to moderate and keep it virus-free.

Of course, the other areas of the forum are fine to use too, but hopefully you'll find this a sanctuary for when it all becomes too much. smile flowers
