Day 1- Covid-19 Lockdown

The whole of this week was supposed to be a celebration of our daughter’s 30th birthday, with the family being involved in an event every day. Obviously, in the last week, the plans seemed doomed because of the awful Covid-19 virus. Everything that we have planned has now been cancelled. So be it, there are more pressing things to worry about. Nevertheless, we are all still off work this week on holiday.
Last night BoJo announced his “lockdown” plans and all three of us were then contacted by our employers that we should go to our respective offices to collect our computers so that we should work from home. Everything seems so surreal at the present time.
Today Tuesday, the weather is glorious and warm for a March day in the UK and at some point, we have to go out and collect computers and paperwork from our various companies so that next week after our holidays end we can do our jobs from home.
A week ago I contacted a tree surgeon about removing some branches from next doors laburnum tree that was encroaching on our garden and today he is coming to the work. It just seems very strange, with all the misery that is going on in the world, that I am having something as mundane as a couple of branches removed from a tree. What is even more strange, is that I am glad about it. It is a bit of normality amongst what seems like chaos.
