What are you really missing.

[Mitz]

The only thing I'm missing is close contact with wifey. Because she's high risk and unable to leave the house for any reason and yet I still have to leave to do the food shopping and visit the chemist, the NHS letter says she should follow social distancing guidelines inside the house. She should sleep alone, have her own bathroom, own plates and cutlery, her own towels and she should remain at least 2 meters away from anyone else living in the house. We're taking it seriously so I've moved into the downstairs bedroom for the next 12 weeks. So I miss being able to hug and kiss my wife.

That must be more difficult than not seeing someone from outside your household. The discipline must be exhausting.

I'm missing meeting up with my mate's at the weekend to go shooting

I used to go hunting rabbits with my Jack Russell a couple of Ferrets and my Crossman pump action air rifle a long long time ago, always had a fascination with guns though I haven't used one in many moons.

I have four Air Rifles all set up for HFT but not been used for a couple of years the plan just before lockdown was to sell them so will have to advertise them in the future, hopefully.

It's very addictive. Well, it is for me anyway [emoji23]
I've shot one type of weapon or another since I was 17 , now 53. I can't imagine what it would be like without them.

I suppose socialising and just being able to leave the house, things we have taken for granted.

Like I said not used an air rifle for what seems like donkeys years, you shouldn't have many problems selling yours because they are still a popular item and always seem in demand, if I was able to get out I would probably bought one off you but I am stuck indoors the majority of the time

It's tough but it's made a little easier, at least for me, by my endless paranoia of going out and then bringing the virus home with me. Being able to carry the virus for as long as two weeks without symptoms makes me behave virtually as if I've got it.

We're told to keep at least 2 meters apart from other people. Research shows that a cough or sneeze can send aerosolized particles as far as 30 feet! Some of those particles can hang in the air for hours. Who knows who walked down that shopping isle before you and what they left behind. Or who touched the items you're about to pick up and buy. Thousands of people are now being diagnosed every day. I'm sure many of them were careful yet still contracted the virus anyway. I now wipe down absolutely everything that enters this house with IPA. The food shopping, the post - all of it gets wiped down.

By the end of this week they're expecting 1000+ deaths per day. It's my job to do absolutely everything I can to make sure nobody in this house becomes a statistic.

This virus is killing the old, the young, the unhealthy and the healthy. I really hope other forum members are taking similar precautions. I don't want anyone on this forum or their family members to become a statistic either.

Kebabs, kept me focused while ill and the chippy I had a good one from isn't open at the moment, the shit chippy is

I'm not doing anywhere near as much as you but I am cautious.
I wipe my truck door handles, steering wheel etc down with dettol wipes every time I go out anywhere and I'm thoughtful about keeping my distance from people as best I can.
Work is a different matter though. It's impossible to do my job and keep 2 metres away from people. I've taken my own kettle in, wash my hands more often and try my best not to touch my face.
There's not a lot else I can do really.
