Living in ‘isolation’

Now officially in isolation. I have watched two tutorials, read three books, talked on the phone a lot and gazed out the window.

The world as we know it has changed and suddenly the devices that I scorned are so important to me. I go straight to Twitter to find out who is doing what wrong today and for the occasional laugh out loud moment.
The dogs who sing along to the ‘law and order’ theme tune had me belly laughing. I would never have watched that last week.
My tutorials are getting my full attention and I am actually learning, which is good. My photoshop skills are on a steep upward curve.

I am saddened and frightened by the panic buying. My partner and I are in the ‘at risk’ group and we cannot get a delivery from our big supermarket. All booked up for three weeks. Friends have offered to go shopping for us so we will now have to take them up on their offer. I am also going to shop in the small shops who deliver. I’m heartened by the number of places popping up on instagram who have had to close so are delivering food in order to stay in business. I will happily order food from them.

The big supermarkets are not on top of this. Probably because, like me, they didn’t think their shoppers would be so me, me, me orientated. A billion pounds of food ordered in the last two weeks. That should last them, shouldn’t it?
