Good morning coso.

Woken in philosophical mood and it's hard not to think that really, this pandemic changes everything. All old certainties are gone. Cooperation, not competition is likely key. Whether we as a species accept that is another matter.

I need coffee (that won't change btw) ☕

As well as all the grim stuff there are also examples of people pulling together like this

#BeKind

Time to gather round a fire, real or metaphorical, with loved ones I think and hold each other close for a while just to be :)

There's just been a very handsome fox in our garden :) Didn't manage to get a pic of her but here's one from the trailcam the other night... :)

Just had long chat with boss who was mega supportive and I'll not be physically attending work for the foreseeable re concerns re Autoimmune tyhroid and shitty #coronavirus and risk level. I feel very relieved. I was sure this would be the case but until I'd had the full convo I wasn't 100%. Our disaster planning team have been working flat out and we're currently getting kitted up to move staff to WFH. Guilty about not being there to help but I'm not indespensible and they've coped fine :)

Thought for the day...

Night night coso. Gonna try n sleep. Here's a pic to leave you with - new shoots on one of our acers :)

So altruism explains the panic hoarding and the 25% drop in donations to foodbanks does it?

Please can we have a new government for the UK please?

Latest confidence inspiring announcement from our idiot gov

"Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
All your elderly and ill gonna die"

So reading between the lines of Sturgeon saying this I think we can conclude that the Westminster gov will be continuing with their square root of fuck all response. Idiots.

For all those who find themselves unexpectedly working from HOME due to current events .... CONFERENCE CALL BINGO!!!!

I think I've had most of these just with intra office skpe meetings tbh

😂🤣

Coffee, blue sky, Tony Benn* mug :)

* hero of mine in some ways, dislike him intensely in others... A good illustration of an unequal amount of good n bad in most things a la @th3j35t3r

Um, let's see..

1 avoid crowds
2 stay in
3 start using the toilet paper stash
4 Netflix, no chill
5 Get really worried at the prospect of the Internet being unavailable, start sweating profusely - worry you have #coronavirus
6 Realise that despite now having a massive hoard of pasta you actually hate pasta
7 Realise you forgot to buy any sauce with the pasta
8 To rectify this you try and do an online shop 😂🤣😅
9 Decide to take solace in booze/weed/whatever
10 Realize you have run out...

Our morning sky.. Can't make its mind up...

Sleep time. Night coso. Here's another pic of my local park

This little plant in my garden really made my day.

It's wild garlic replanted from my mums house on the Pennines and I totally forgot I'd done this until I noticed it today. V happy indeed :)

Most terrifying tweet of the day so far. I wouldn't put him in command of a fucking anything at all, ever. He's the UKs Bannon, only somehow worse

Sweet singing Eurasian Blackcap in my garden about 15 mins ago :)

We have a resident pair - they normally migrate away from UK for winter but the female at least stayed in our garden all winter :)
