Living in Isolation



Thanks to Corona Virus most of the countries affected are either in lock-down or about to be.

Looking back into history and Britain’s Great Plague of 1666 there was only one way that died in London – the Great Fire of London. (Ironically William the Conqueror took over Britain in 1066). 600 hundred years later.

We should think ourselves lucky that we CAN stop the spread of the virus. But only if we pull together and obey the rules.

As I live alone and am used to isolation, it isn’t too much of a problem for me. Of course I do have the universal problem of grocery shopping. I was fortunate in that I had a grocery order delivered a couple of weeks ago and already had my April delivery booked. Today I received notification that I can only have 80 items. Going to be difficult deciding which 80 to take bearing in mind that I haven’t been able to get a May delivery booked.

I suspect that I may have to break ‘the law’ and go to the supermarket this weekend.

If you know of any old and/or disabled people who may need help please, please, please give them a hand.
