Keeping yourself occupied when self-isolating

[Weststander]

A minor thing compared to the urine and dick stuff above.

I went on a lad’s holiday to Tenerife, where my room mate was obsessed with his sleeps, including a seemingly never-ending siesta from 6 til 9 every evening so that “he looked fresh went we went clubbing”. I just wanted to get the bars.

In a age before mobiles, I used to wind his watch (sitting next to his bed) on a random hour or two whilst he slept, then wake him up. In boozing and clubbing mode, he never cottoned on. I’d wind his watch back later on. I did this every evening.

We both had a brilliant holiday.

It was a throwaway line unfortunately, If our captains of industry and business hadn't squirreled all their cash out of the country we might not be in such a mess ! had a small team talk with the boss today. Takings are down and look likely to plummet imminently, he said jobs will go but on a last in first out basis, i'm safeish but not immune forever if it gets really bad..... All our stores are franchises, the co-owners ( Public shares are not available ) ) who started the company started getting their profits and liabilities out of the UK 25 odd years back, as I have often mentioned, they are sat on £1.5 Billion , they will ride this out in Guernsey very comfortably.

If you're home self isolating it is possible to "borrow" e-books from libraries plus read electronic versions of magazines and newspapers.


Here is West Sussex County Council info on this:
