Many thanks for encouragement, am glad to be alive. Just going a bit stir crazy I think as wife has got me wrapped in cotton wool (someone will get us going off track on this one hopefully) due to my several ailments.
I have video calling et al but you cant beat a good face to face chin wag and maybe a glass of beer. As you say we all need to pull together and as Monty Python sang Always Look on the Bright side of Life dum, te dum
But when you remote it you push a button then it warms all thvwater in the cooling system so you don’t start the car coldFuel Burning Heater, another way of wasting diesel fuel.

An electric block heater is more efficient, common in really cold countries.

I hope it helped. We really do need to look at the positives. As someone who spent more time in the Army, than I have out of it, I am used to making the best of letters, phone calls and video chats. Perhaps that makes me, and those like me lucky, in the fact that we are used to being separated from loved ones.
Twelve weeks isn't that long, and if they extend it, so be it. How would everyone have coped before all of the technology,we now take for granted?!! Oh, yeah, they survived by writing letters, that took forever to get a reply to. That is if they didn't get lost in the post.
Yes, it would be nice to sit in the company of friends/loved ones. However, if we don't all get a grip, self -isolate and get inventive with messages on sheets of paper held up at the window, filming ourselves messing about, speaking on the phone, etc. We will actually drive ourselves nuts.
Instead of thinking about what you're missing, spend that time, and energy, on funny, entertaining, loving or just normal ways to connect with those you care about.
Or read a book, paint a picture, finish those little jobs you've been putting off................................................
Or vegetate in the corner , with the thief of time ( internet)

You are a star and an inspiration to us all. I only worked for the NAAFI but I salute you

Thanks .
No such thing as 'only'. Without the NAAFI, where would we have got our sustenance, when we were on lockdown

I was based at Leconfield near Beverly and made some great friends among the service men and women. I had a father flew in Lancasters in the war, an uncle in the Royal Marines who saw action all over the world so I have the utmost respect for all of our armed service personelThanks .

I have an allotment, not going to grow anything this year, I suspect it's all going to be nicked, and I am not going to do all the work so someone can take it away and eat/sell it off, I have a greenhouse in the back garden I am going to use that, I have chickens so get eggs every day, had 5 lots of neighbours asking for eggs, they don't bother at other times and don't want to buy them,

I have grown my own veg, for almost a decade, the gardener tending them when I was away. I've always given most away, as I can't eat all I grow.
@Dopey why not give excess eggs, to a food bank, or elderly neighbours? If the others never asked before and are not even making a token payment, stuff 'em.
My early potatoes are in. I will do my carrot, tomato and lettuce seeds , sometime this week.
Dig for Britain,
I do give some away, I take them to work what I don't use and give them to others very cheap, it pays for the feed, I get everything organic, and they are free-rangeI have grown my own veg, for almost a decade, the gardener tending them when I was away.

I had one on my sailing boat but the propane fired version, they are more reliable, great for drying wet gear as it was the warm air version.
