Isolation Lockdown Day 8

Isolation Lockdown Day 7

Isolation Lockdown Day 6
Well today was quiet, we had breakfast 3 times today, crazy, but was awesome We watched lots of TV, drank lots of tea and was shocked that the current UCP government stooped so low as to cut funding so boards have to lay off Education Assistants and Custodial staff, just as the Prime Minister was…

…if you are not doing a self imposed isolation for reason 1 then you should be doing it for reason 2.
Isolation Lockdown Day 1
This should have been posted yesterday evening. Yesterday was the start of our self imposed lockdown First thing in the morning I went grocery shopping and picked up food for about 2 weeks, we already had an emergency supply in the basement that supply will help if we have to stay hunkered down for longer….
Have You Looked Behind Your Stove of Late?
