Therefore, my dog gets her daily exercise by walking back and for on the green outside my back garden a few times and then we go along by the local river for a while (the sound of all that is a lot better than the reality believe me!), the whole thing lasts about twenty minutes as I walk about three quarters of a mile for my allowed "exercise" period.

    As for what I miss most? Simple, things feeling "normal".
    That seems a bit mad, there's no limit on walking outside is there?

    Re: What are you missing the most?

    My wife is a social media addict and last night she was telling me something she saw amusing about the lockdown in Italy. They are not allowed out except if they have a dog they can take it for a walk for 30 minutes a day.
    But people in big blocks of flats who don't have a dog are borrowing other peoples so they can get out of the house. so some poor pooches are being taken for 10 or more walks a day and the poor things are knackered.
    She had this vision of the dog hearing the lead being picked up and crawling under the table to hide. She said soon the police will be stopping people for animal cruelty because they will be dragging the dog down the street.

    What I'm missing most is just waking up in the morning and having a purpose for the day, like going to work ot going into town shopping on a saturday morning. I've always hated holidays because of listlessness and this is like a holiday where I don't know the end

    That’s the thing about this, not knowing when it’s going to end. Even during wartime I’d imagine there’s the comfort of knowing some bugger will surrender eventually.

    There would be no contact for me with any one which I would imagine is a totally alien experience. .
    same here still working although 2 days at home this week like you supplying into companies that are still functioning mind you I don't think it will be long till we stop . I suppose there's lots of jobs to do in the house when they pull the plug

    I saw Simple Minds in St Davids, Cardiff 2016 on their acoustic tour, and also in Cyfarthfa Park, Merthyr Tydfil 2018. They were brilliant both times. The Merthyr gig was excellent as they were supported by KT Tunstall and The Pretenders who were both really good. It was an outdoor gig and the weather was boiling too which helped.
    I wasn't going to bother with this years gig as it was midweek and I like to have a few ciders through the day and use the next day for recovery

    I’m missing my kids playing sport the most. I coach a few of the teams they play in so it also plays a large part of my social life.

    But I do love seeing them score goals, kick conversions and score tries.

    Normally by a Wednesday night I'm looking forward to the weekend. But now the weekends are worse than Monday to bloody Friday. At least I can do a couple of hours work during the week. The weekends are just a vacuum.

    And not being able to see my 3 gorgeous granddaughters is the worst of all!

    I normally only drink in the pub and I drink bitter so hard to buy a good on in a can/bottle, not that I'd drink it anyway. Like you going to the pub is as miuch about meeting people and chatting as it is about the beer. But I have got a bottle of sherry, a nice glass every eveining is ebough for men. I

    Number One thing for me is not seeing my young grandchildren, who live in London and Malvern. We rarely go more than 5-6 weeks without seeing them and who knows when the next time will be. Not quite the same talking to them on Whatsapp or Zoom but it's better than nothing.

    I'm not one for pubs and the like but I do miss family get togethers and regular long walks. Luckily we have a decent sized garden and at this time of year there's plenty to do. Don't think I've sawn up so many branches in my life before but it's great exercise nonetheless.

    My football fix is a quick trip into YouTube to watch the mighty Bluebirds defeat everyone from Real Madrid to Huddersfield.

    Stay safe and don't give up hope that this thing will be defeated before too much longer. Yes, there will be serious financial repercussions further down the line and maybe a possible global backlash against China but the most important thing is to take care of yourself and your nearest and dearest in the coming weeks/months.

    Coronavirus: MOTs due from 30 March 2020
    Your car, van or motorcycle’s MOT expiry date will be extended by 6 months if it’s due on or after 30 March 2020 - but you must keep your vehicle safe to drive.

    Miss travelling to different places with work. Enjoy going out exploring wherever I am working trying different food and drinks.
    Been going to Norway a lot recently which has been interesting. Was meant to be there again this week.
