state of emergency

I have a paper delivered every day, this morning there was a not attached to my paper, I thought they wouldn't be delivering but much to my surprise they are offering to help if needed and gave us the telephone number to ring,  what a lovey gesture

Fortunately I don't look my age & will be able to slip through the cordon sanitaire un-noticed, if challenged my railway passes show me in my 40's anyhow! 
Must confess to missing Brexit & my daily dose of English exceptionalism! 

Keep Safe All,

Slainte'

I really cannot see isolating myself for 4 months if I am fit and able, I have, up till now, got my free TV licence so I am in that age bracket, my butcher told me last week I was sprightly, wasn't sure if he wanted more business but I took it as a compliment, so I will be out when I need to be to fill up on food and essentials

It is a worrying time

I guess I am one of the lucky ones
I’m only a quarter past sixty nine
Nevertheless I think I just might
Consider volunteering to self confine
I have an underlying condition
Makes me wonder how I should act
Though it’s not immediately one
Concerned with the respiratory tract
I’m awaiting the result of a biopsy
Which should be available soon
And if I require further treatment
It won’t make me more immune
My leg is hanging on by a thread
The hip could give way any day
And what is inhibiting an operation
Is an infection which won’t go away
I had a holiday booked in Turkey
Looking forward to some warm R&R
Fat chance that will now go ahead
Ah well ! - “Que sera sera” !
There are a lot worse off than me
I seem to still have most of my senses
So it’s roof down head for the countryside
Let the sun boost my natural defences

I too have decided that shopping online,so delivered ,will get me through.
I also can walk in the nearby cemetery,and if the police come I can  always swear blind I was just cutting out the middlemen.
I decided it was not the time to get dog,.
But assuming I am discharged from Eye Hosp on Thursday, it it is really,lots of time together to get to know each other,a reasonable sized garden for play etc.so I will enquire.

Erato’s post made me laugh out loud,Police taking  old people back home.
If you know the old Ealing Comedy films Erato you will know what I mean.
The first could be “ KIND HEARTS AND CORONA”
I wouldn’t mind being taken home by a nice policeman!

 “ KIND HEARTS AND CORONA”, Viktoria , you deserve to be immortalized for that. I will be stealing it and shamelessly using it many times.

Well I received my bulk email from Sainsburys today about not stockpiling - which I haven't been doing. No mention made about no delivery slots available for on-line shopping for next 3 weeks.

Viktoria -- I expect you will be going out when the 'ban' comes in, just hoping to be escorted home by a young handsome policeman!

 Bear in mind that after the first half a dozen times, it might not work and you'll be arrested for being a public nuisance. Confinement in a cell for you young lady.

How will they know who is over 70 - are we to be tagged or micro chipped?

Cut off a limb and count the rings, like with trees!

Apparently the government are saying today that us oldies can walk our dogs so you could get one now if you want to   .    Let us know what you decide.
