What have you been doing today?

Just been up B&Q to pick up some fence paint (non-contact car park collection) and it’s next to a Tesco store. The bloody queue of people waiting with trolleys went literally round the block. You must be looking at an hour and a half to reach the store. I called in the local bakery on my way back, loads of bread and not a person in sight. I bought 6 rolls but when I got home I started worrying whether they had been contaminated as they were on an open shelf behind the counter so I froze 4 of them and put the two we were having today in the microwave for 45 seconds. Just to be sure. Feeling okay at the moment. :whistle:
 
Priced a job up for a Combi swap. I want to do my bit and help others out.
But I turned it down. It was a Multiple occupancy not very well maintained and a bit dirty. So didn't tick any boxes.
 
Mm agree noticed that in our local source of bakery exposed baguettes in lose sleeves fck touching any bread not sealed, coronatastic.
 
Too late, I’ve eaten the microwaved ones. How long does the virus stay on things then? I thought it was just a couple of days - does freezing it keep it alive for a year then? No different from bread, veg and wrapping on anything in any supermarket then really?
 
Got up at 7am looked out of the window to see police van and two coppers over the road, then two people in disposable overalls & masks carrying a stretcher, thought it was paramedics at first, turned out they were undertakers :(

Just priced another. I may do this one if the price is right. Got kids
 
We’ve lived in our house since 1990 and we’ve had 7 of our neighbours die since moving here. Most were getting on in years but one chap in his forties just died in his sleep. Apart from one, always the men to go first. We hold the keys to the houses of 4 of them - just dreading the day one of their kids phones us up and asks us to check on their mum as they haven’t heard from her for a few days.....

We've lived here since June 99 and I can remember 6 neighbours who have died since then, maybe more.
This estate seems to be popular with people who bought their home, their kids grew up and left, but their folks stayed put. So naturally, they will be popping orf from time to time.
 
LoL. Funny things neighbours. When our elderly divorced next door neighbour passed away, we of course went to her funeral. Her family and friends (mostly French) came and we found out a whole different side to her that she'd never mentioned. She was divorced in the sixties but in the thirties/forties she was a minor actress and was in films with John Wayne and Ginger Rogers. The husband she divorced was a multi multi millionaire and he met her at the Cannes film festival. He was quite a well known French resistance fighter too. This is the family business named after him. https://www.portcamillerayon.net/en/history/ A few weeks after the funeral I and one other neighbour received a sizeable cheque for being good neighbours. She was a lovely old girl.
 
My Mil's friend got a letter from a solicitor about 2 years ago telling her a family relative in Australia had passed away and left her some money. Everyone told her it was some sort of scam. She had to go to a solicitor in London who then explained the person who died was a very distance relative in Australia who left her business in Australia, property in Monte-Carlo and a farm in France.

It totalled up to approx. 6 million, she is now living in France and has sold everything else off.

So you never know what might happen.
