Oh you poor deluded person... You'll be saying 911s are better than 914s next.

I'd be very very surprised if Members Meeting went ahead now. Even if the event was on, our gathering from all over UK depends on hotel, pubs and restaurants being open in Chichester and I suspect many will shut up shop soon just to protect staff.

My primary concern is my 95 year old Aunt. She lives for her weekly lunch with pals and visits from friends and family. She's not so good on WhatsApp...

Cats are like a T. Good fun, practical to own and much better to have one than no pet at all. But dogs are like an RS, there’s so much more involvement, more owner feedback and ultimately more joy to be realised from engaging properly.

What a difference 24hrs makes.

A few days ago the travel industry was in melt down and yesterday the hospitality industry was effectively wiped out. Within a few weeks the economic impact will be breathtaking. I’m expecting this to impact every industry & household very quickly. A colleague of mine had cronovirus in January and had a rough week in bed. We work in the IT sector & are now 100% working from home which we can easily do. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if the firm cancels our project & others in the next month or so, to slash costs and protect the company.

So take care people, of your family & community. It’s going to be a rough road ahead.

"You don't know what you've got 'till it's gone"

We all feel that now. My mother is 98, stout old bird, been through a lot and has become scared of this lot, but lives in sheltered accommodation, safe as can be, but a worry.
We all have corners of our lives at risk and the money side will ultimately be the hardest, esp if you have a mortgage etc and the world will take a long time to recover. The Banks are going to have to be saintly, but all countries of worth are in the same boat, maybe that helps.

Being retired is better, but those pension pots look frail..
My motorsport year is in tatters, given-up on that one for next months or the year.

Still, lots to do, lots to gets done and improve, my large overgrown garden will look fantastic soon!

Imagine what going to war was like! All this and so much worse.
