No going out today, so I have mostly been pulling up bamboo roots from under stone tiles in the garden. I think the garden is going to get a bit more attention this summer ...

I haven't really left the house until this morning(I rode MTB to my sisters but that's basically same household) Worrying that I may be incubating some germs, I'm confident I'm ok and so far sister mum and nephew are grand,

However, had a proper ride out on MTB this morning and it was glorious. If we could find some paint I've jobs to be doing as well as powerwashing.

I'm not at work until mid April. Been catching up on odd jobs and I need to service the brakes on my SV at some point.

Washed the bike, ACF-50'd it, lubed the chain and did my disc bobbins.

I haven't been out "Socially" for the best part of a month. Until last weekend I was still going out on my motorcycle and meeting people, but we weren't doing cafes or such like and only riding together. Fortunately being mostly retired it's been relatively painless for me, the Mrs. is still going to her surgeries but she's very infection aware anyhow as part of her job so it was just a case of ramping it up a bit and not bringing it home.

I've a million things to do at home, all the bikes have been serviced, the camper is ready for when it is safe to emerge and I'm just about to start on the boat! I've an old MX5 that I haven't used for a few years in need of restoration if I get really desperate! We're ready for the long haul, but there's a regatta at the end of May I'd quite like this to be over for!

Really? I hardly ever come in here nowadays but bit bored at home now.

You visited your Mum and sister and nephew IN ANOTHER HOUSE? Which bit of the guidance on social distancing didn't you get? You may have it, they may have, you may have caught some infected droplets riding along. You may have skidded and needed precious NHS care.

Do not socialise! Don't go out unless you have to.

Stop being a selfish ***** and think of others

Yeah that's not the same household. My mum is disabled and has limited mobility but I'll only go around if she is unable to get food or essentials local to her. I don't want to risk making her ill and have her pass it on to the other elderly at risk members of my family.

Messie mate, absolutely everything you said was spot on.....except that bit. Rather blew the credibility of the rest of your post I'm afraid.

Not so. Depending on where you are the droplets from sneezing and coughing from others can be breathed in
