A 5.6 this morning which I put down to roast beef and some garden peas
I know from the posts that some folk feel that the internet is being overloaded. Just to say that what you experience as delays are generally due to the process of 'throttling' by your internet provider. It is a common practice, although they do deny it, and doesn't really signify increased traffic but rather decreased service. Oversubscription can often lead to throttling in a world where profit is all. There are a lot of VPN providers, some claim to be free, but one of the best is IPVanish.
Oh, you can avoid throttling by accessing your internet through a virtual private network (VPN), this hides you not only from the bad people of the net but from your provider as well, and you don't get throttled
I had this sent to my FB wall, I love it and wholeheartedly hope it will happen but my brain isn't in agreement with my heart
@Ryhia Never mind Darth Vader, more like Daft Ada
@Muddy Cyclist as you've asked out of concern I'll give my thoughts
1. Outside exercise in open areas should be ok, you are conscientiously monitoring your immediate area to maintain your isolation
2. Choose easier, less risky, runs that may not tax you as much but will give you a good workout
3. I have no answer for this as I don't have family support so I have to do things.
4. You are living together, maybe that advice was for people who meet up in the park walking their dogs. I can't see any merit in being for a couple to be seperate when they sleep in the same bed
5. Yes, you are still self-isolating
6. They do what they do, you are aware of staying safe and minimising risks and there is most definitely a risk
7. I wouldn't go and I would expect family members to accept that
8. My doctor sent me a text message update this morning. Their opinion to me as a high-risk patient was to contact the surgery to log the potential for having the virus, monitor its progress and stay isolated. If your health deteriorates talk to the doctor via video conference or call 111. That's just my surgery though
9. Yes
10. Horses need care, your wife is being sensible in her approach and should just alert those around her that she is self-isolating and to respect it

And the people stayed home.
And read books and listened, and rested and exercised,
and made art and played games,
and learned new ways of being and were still.
And listened more deeply.
Some meditated, some prayed, some danced.
Some met their shadows.
And the people began to think differently.
And the people healed.
And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless and heartless ways the earth began to heal.
