An A to Z Coronavirus observational guide. . . G

Going Stir Crazy and Going Solo.


We are not allowed out unless we need to go out to get stuff like food, food for pets, medications or stuff that is classed as jolly important. So a trip to the beach with the kids will now be frowned on and you will be told off and possibly fined. Although that may vary depending on which country you live in. So if you do need to go out the best way to do this is alone, keep your head down, as in the well-known saying. You don’t physically need to keep your head down. I mean driving would be very tricky. Anyway back to the point. Yes keep your head down and don’t talk to folk unless you need to and keep some distance between yourself and, to put it bluntly Everyone.

It is still early days in the world lockdown where everyone would prefer it if everyone else stayed at home. However everyone staying at home is making everyone go stir crazy. And folk are doing all sort of things to avoid going mad. If you are lucky enough to have a garden as I do then it may well end up as a show garden unless you have kids and dogs then it will be trashed. Making stuff is good and folk will be writing that novel they have been planning to do for the last twenty years or making cakes the shapes of popular building and the like.

Snail Racing is fun on a warm evening. Stick a number on half a dozen snails and put them in the centre of a circle marked out on the ground. Pick your favourite and make a small bet with either the family or the dog. If you’re really keen do live racing online and make your fortune. Just remember if you do make your fortune I helped with the idea and a small gift (no too small and in cash not snails) would not be refused.
