I guess there's some pleasure in watching your bank account grow, Steve!

My bubble is small, like most here I would guess. Just 3, me, wife, daughter. It's critical to get out, regardless of the stifling heat here, and either walk or just sit and watch the sea under a shady tree with a snack and a drink.

If you stay inside all the time, and in front of these damn computers, it will kill you perhaps faster than if you caught Covid?! :shock:

You do make me jealous, Pete. My house has 8 including myself and 4 kids!!

Fortunately, it's a big house with a huge garden so I can find some peace and quiet occasionally.

I admit I've been very lucky in that respect because a large portion of the aviation industry is unemployed right now.
I've been in the strange situation that going to an airport and fixing 747's is so much more exciting than being in a studio apartment alone in lockdown, that I haven't even taken a single days vacation yet this year.
At least there are people to talk to at work!

It's with amusement I sometimes read some comments.
The only thing I miss is my bar tours.
Beside of that nothing has changed in my life, oh yes only one thing the mask.....555
Alcoholic drinks in special cups, some nice times in rooms, hotels, massages are open, beaches are here.
Those who like volunteer quarantine, wish them a lot of pleasure.

Further to my weight loss challenge.
I can hardly carry the weight I've lost. Didn't seem that heavy when it was part of my body. Lost 20 kg (2 sacks of dog food) as of today. Now at 86.5. kgs down from 106
That's 3 stone 2 pounds in old money. I'm pretty pleased with myself.
