Atheism A non-prophet organisation!
Every body seems to be starting up "Jokes Threads" Trying to lift the gloom! More often than not they can have the opposite effect; the best way, IMO, is to search the archives for GreatNan's thread; 40 pages! 
Our weather back to Autumn; cool and wet! I suppose you are now enjoying Summer sunshine with the clocks going forward1
Spoke with Michelle (Bournemouth, beige cardi fame!) this evening and she's into cupboard cleaning like never before! This "house arrest" is working wonders;
both our sons are
working from home", which to this old-fashioned "worker" is a recipe for procrastination or the "substitution theory" - do anything but the job in hand! 
Still smiling at granddaughter's comment about "Joe" moving like "greased lightning" at the sniff of a female friend! Reminded me of "One Foot in the Grave", although they weren't exactly racing! 
I'm losing track of all the virus statistics with so many countries now involved. We haven't had many deaths comparatively speaking, either elderly after contact with known cases or with prior health conditions.
Us "oldies" being told every 5 minutes to "stay indoors"; I find "talking' to youse all very therapeutic!
All the threats of idiots being fined or thrown into prison for breaking "proximity" rules has me thinking; what rules apply "inside"? Not exactly "self isolation,", but would solitary confinement qualify? Hope not to find out!
fatgran; in answer to your question; "Ostrich"
Can you rustle up any useful recipes with seaweed?
My carer (from China years ago) said that she buys powdered milk (cheap) when I was reminiscing about war-time rationing and remembered "dried eggs" from the USA.
Our Mam and others, of course certainly did it tough with Dad and 3 offspring to feed. Hope we're not forced to eat seaweed, dried or not!
Hope you keep well!
Good Health

Hi Rufus very cold here in Geordieland . We had hailstones earlier . If this cold weather continues we’ll all end up stir crazy.
As my late grandma used to say “what a life ......but better than the alternative”
Big feathers then Rufus
First death from the virus here in Tasmania and on the North West Coast not very far from my place.
The Premier will be making an announcement this evening and it seems that the lockdown will be more stringent.
I may not be even able to leave the yard anymore to go for a walk.
We are fortunate that we have family to do our shopping for us, brother in law and his wife have no children or younger nieces nephews etc so our lot are doing shopping for them also. They are not used to having to accept this sort of help so is hard for them, but no other option.
No recipes for seaweed Rufus but if things get tough I may have to look for some!
It is like The Silence of the Lambs here now that the planes have nearly stopped.
We are only a couple of hundred yards from the airport and after 50-60 years of several REX flights coming in and going out and all the traffic etc the quietness is disconcerting. Used to be more years ago when we had TAA also.
Keep well and keep posting
