Tomorrow, will be libating (spell checker doesn't like that one) to celebrate long standing member of allotment committee who has stepped down after more than 40 years of service.

Do my drinks as part of that count or do I have to have extra?

Just have doubles to make sure ;-)

Hope my canned food lasts that long: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/15/uk-coronavirus-crisis-to-last-until-spring-2021-and-could-see-79m-hospitalised

It refers to a, "secret document." Presumably that means one only leaked to one newspaper?

good grief, I'm fine, but not permitted to go out! At least if I keep my mouth shut no one will know.

On latest Government advice, committee has chickened out. So will have to do double duty at home. (Or go to pub without the rest!)

I've just been to - and emerged safely from - my local branch. I don't foresee any problems with tomorrow's observance: the current venue is a big old barn of a place, set up for dining with the tables a respectful distance apart. I can self-isolate behind my newspaper at the top end, no bother at all.

But what about the pub quizzzz?

Well, if your President is to be believed, it's only till July/August. Hope you can stay in that long.

But what about the pub quizzzz?

That's on Wednesdays. You bumped into a private quiz run by a dining party.

Well, if the pub's closed, there's always this:
Coronavirus self-isolation prompts Pub Choir to opt for couch singing event instead

Tom Hanks is out of quarantine/hospital:

Twasn't by Rump but by Newsom. Then the mayor of my berg had to go farther and order everything closed. But it is fine to stand in a two hour queue for TP only to be told we don't have any. And don't for one second think that queue is social Distancing! Cough sneeze infect. So I said F it, crossed the city line and went to a restaurant with 28 taps and had some libations. Place was dead, but that made everyone talk to each other.

Oh place next door, Miss H's, "Drinkers Hall of Shame" er "Fame" was locked up as was the massage parlor on the other side. It is getting serious when the massage parlor has to close!

I work as an aromatherapist and so am not working at present. Fortunately, main income is from my NHS pension. Whether I am in the high risk group or merely approaching it quickly due to my age depends a bit on who you listen to.

Will be have festivities today or not?

The outrage pub is closed! Due the Covid-19 lockdown.

Need to prepare (put beer to freeze) to be ready for the usual sacrifice, in my home at this time.

There are those in England who would accuse you of heresy.

Not just there... although Labatt Ice was pretty drinkable on a hot summer's day.

Was just trying to load forums on SETI and got a time out error refreshed and its loading but very slow.

Is the outage cancelled?

I was trying to get to https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/prefs.php?subset=project earlier but it refused to load. Still very slow now.
