In 40 minutes, at midday, I'll be going into government enforced lockdown.
I went out this morning to fetch the bins and bumped into the council litter picker.
He said that "they" aren't telling us everything and that really a country has exploded a nuclear bomb and the radiation is now all around us and falling out of the sky.
My god, it's going to be a boring couple of weeks.

Get your finger out Rotty, less of this tardiness 😆
Bispham/Warbreck ward update. No bread in my local shop at 5.30 tonight and I resolutely refuse to become a panic buyer. Rice and chicken for tea it is.
Morning walk to work, an 11 minute walk on a busy stretch saw only one other walker on the busy route at 8.30 am. That’s was odd.
Devi Arms still looks open 🤔 as is the local chippy. Overall nothing serious to report, though apparently shops are getting low on paint. The universe again conspires against the possibility of me painting my porch come lockdown 🙃 |  |

This is too cool.
Spud panic buying eggs and Jane paying a premium for toilet roll.
Rott with his head in the sand. | |

I've had 2 authorised trips out today.
1) exercise (bike ride)
2) essential purchases
I saw 3 friends / neighbours / acquaintances on these sorties.
All 3 were s**t scared about coming into contact with me and made a point of keeping a large distance.
Keep the reports coming!!! | |

London update :
London Underground is scaling back its operation. The balance between "quick and efficient way to get around London" and "foul-smelling, unhealthy cesspit" has swung decisively.
We're also shunning trains and buses to a remarkable degree ; the Rush Hour has become the Saunter Hour, and travelling off-peak is increasingly A Study In Solitude.
We stood up to Hitler and are viewing this as the New Blitz. We'll be hanging out the washing on the Wuhan Line by Christmas. |  |

Poulton report
I arrived at Lidl this morning at 7.50 . Needed loo paper down to 2 rolls left. Chatting with a lovely elderly couple who were queuing for milk. By 8am car park full. When I got in there wasn’t a roll of toilet paper in sight. Empty shelves. 🤷â€â™€ï¸
Managed to get some later from Booths. Paid £46.50 mind |
Cleveleys Report:
I wiped my ass with a wet wipe today. Or maybe yesterday; I can't be sure. Anchorsholme Lidl is relatively well stocked with most things apart from bread and loo roll so, for now, flushable wet wipes it is.
Still working due to being a 'key worker' but trying to cut down on the social contact. I work alongside colleagues from the NHS and am finding their 'carry on as usual' approach downright dangerous so am working from home today. Will pop to the shops at some point to get three lots of provisions for Mum, Dad and brother (starting chemo today).
It is a beautiful day and a walk on the beach beckons. The kids are fuming that they still have to go into school but, apart from winding them up, they will probably be allowed to stay off just like their mates are.
Strange times. Stay safe peeps. |  |

London Latest :
The big news today is that toilet rolls have been secured, even if we are running at danger levels on courgettes and cauliflower. Sainsbury's was a bit odd this morning : less locusts in evidence, but as they hadn't actually re-stocked the shelves from the night before it made no difference really. Only one till open as well ; they had more staff replacing excess planned purchases on shelves than they had actually selling stuff.
Buses relatively quiet, far more masks in evidence though ( I sidled up to one mask-wearer and asked him if he knew that it would make absolutely no difference). Our local winos appear to have taken a strategic decision not to self-isolate as yet ; but they have hedged their bets slightly by congregating on the benches outside the hospital.
Levels of Blitz Spirit currently uncertain. My attempt to get a chorus of "There'll Always Be An England" going on the 284 was conspicuously unsuccessful as the driver claimed he didn't know the words. And there has been absolutely no sign of Vera Lynn. [Post edited 20 Mar 2020 9:48]

The Lockdown Diaries Day 4
Is it day 4? It's all starting to melt in to one.
My partner is now "working" from home - paying lip service to the word 'work'.
My work schedule from home will get a bit more serious next week.
It a lovely day here and we're breaking all the rules by having drinks on the terrace with neighbours this afto.
I hope we won't be spreading the virus. | |

Over Wyre report:
A very large flock of grey lag geese appeared on the field opposite yesterday, or maybe the day before, the significance of which didn't immediately register with me.
I now realise (having surveyed the thousands of holes in the topsoil) that they have been feasting on the spuds left in the ground from last autumn (due to the wet weather).
I had been helping myself to said spuds, as and when required over the winter, and viewed it as my very own secret store of complex carbs to see me through crisis.
But my `coronavirus secret spud larder` has been decimated, and I will now have take my chances and forage in the shops.
Watched them fly off today, full of spud, and I swear they were cackling at me.
Also saw four buzzards hunting together - you don`t often see that... | | | |

They`ve gone now anyway, heading in a southerly direction.

Another key worker here in Bispham ward. Lot’s of confusion around who gets priority schooling as some schools have already said they can’t accommodate the children of all the key workers who attend their schools so now they are identifying the key key workers 🤔
Very quiet skip to work again today and eerily quiet skip home in what is normally rush hour time.
After the no bread debacle last night I snook into my local shop before work and secured myself one pint of milk and 4 fresh baps 😱
Working Sunday and will be wandering aimlessly around the house Saturday looking for jobs I can avoid doing. Am beginning to wonder why I quit drinking now ðŸ’â€â™€ï¸ I’d soon be reminded in the morning though if I lapsed 😩
The Devi Arms will obviously now be closing which is no loss to me, but I’m hoping the chippy survives another day.
Strange times that are evoking strange emotions.! | |

Lytham:- A special report.
While still self isolating, I sent my drone out last night to film the action, truly horrific viewing.
As the Pubs, Restaurants and Wine Bars began to shut the streets became a sea of tears, fake sun tan oil and empty cheap wine bottles with foreign sounding labels. Where does the "Look at me" crowd now go to be looked at?
But the real shock and true scale of the damage was revealed this morning as I sent my drone out to grab a couple of large baps.
Overnight the town has gone bankrupt. People are already sat outside their houses setting up garage sales, so many golf club sets, framed and signed shirts from Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard etc.... being sold, It's breaks your heart.
Watching parents taking their little Tamara, Kylie etc... to Pony Club, knowing it not to ride the Pony, but to shoot it, to ensure they have enough food to put on the table to eat next week, as they wont be able to buy M&S fine dine ready meals anymore. Well it's either that or shop at Tesco or god forbid, Lidl!!. Truly disturbing footage to watch.
This is a plea to Bojo and Sunak...... Pilates teachers, personal shoppers, Feng Shui experts, new age weekend hippy costume jewellery makers etc, etc.... the list is endless (also those people who say they work from home but you have no idea what they actually do).
These people need your help now and fast, protect the pretentious and shallow now, before it's too late.
This is Red Room your special reporter, on the front line signing off.
PS Grabbed a couple of large baps. 👠| |
