    Luckily we stocked up 5 weeks ago (when lockdown was announced) but didn’t imagine it lasting this long. And beyond. Mind you, we still have supplies but it certainly won’t last until goodness knows when.

    The smokes thing was the biggest hit for me.. I don’t drink at home so never bothered stocking up on that at all. Do miss a cold beer though. But fortunately I have contacts for smokes so have had no issue on that front, and it’s actually cheaper for me now than before lockdown haha

    Exactly. All the ban is doing is pissing people off unnecessarily and fueling black market trade.

    @A new day sorry to hear about yesterday... Hope you're feeling even a slight bit better today.
    At least it's the first day of a slightly less strict lockdown and it's a step in the right direction. Hopefully it carries on in that direction..

    You are so right.. my whole family couldnt wait to get out this morning for their jog!!
    However, like the ban on the sale of alcohol to drink at home and cigarettes, being able to jog or run only between 6 and 9 in the morning is ridiculous
    Firstly, those that are working, unfortunately leave home at 6 as they dont have the luxury of starting work after 9 so they still cant exercise which is ridiculous and secondly, some of the popular places, from what i saw on the news there were so many people that so much for distancing!!
    If people were allowed to go for their walk throughout the day, there wouldnt be so many people together!
    Auction of livestock which there are a few in our area where more than 50 people get together, are allowed but you cant buy a fish at the LFS!!!
    Some things just dont make sense... as you said... treat us all like children!

    @MariaS exactly my thoughts.
    Lfs = low risk
    Having anything couriered in = low risk
    Grocery shopping = higher risk
    Bunch of people excersizing only between 6 and 9 = higher risk cause it’s not spread out throughout the day
    Smoking = nobody’s business

    Anyhow, had a good day today :)

    Tbh, it was a bit naive of those (in SA and here in the UK) who thought this lockdown was just going to be for the initial 3 weeks.
    When the lockdown was first announced 6 weeks ago, it was for the initial 3 weeks. Loads of people thought that would be it. But another 3 weeks was added. And we have a review next Thursday, and the expectation is nothing will change significantly.
    My SO is a teacher and when schools were first told to close, no date of a return was given. Her school, along with most in the area are not expecting to go back this school year (which runs to mid July). The hope is that they will go back when the new school year starts in early September.

    What I am finding frustrating is our government doesn’t seem to have an exit strategy. They are taking the “let’s wait and see what happens” approach. While I do get that to a certain degree. The economy has collapsed. Education system has collapsed. And they have no idea as to how or when there will be some sort of turn around.
    A lot of hope on this miracle vaccine that may never even be developed

    My 2c....of frustration

    I’ve also worked out that with this whole “6-9 exercise” thing is that my bed is far better to be in until it warms up. Why I can’t get into a field and go for a run is also a nightmare since the roads are too harsh after I tried to keep fit during the lockdown:/

    Didn't we make fun about the whales in our canals (photoshop).

    Now a dolphin swam up to the harbour of Amsterdam. First ever one that did. They are very rare in our watera. People are trying to lure it back to open sea.

    Hoping you can watch the vid

    It's on its way back to open sea.
    It has to travel through a sluice (is this English).

    They lured it woth the same ship it came in with. That ship has returned again and the dolphin is accompanied by smaller boats now that lead it to the sea.

    Quite an action!
