At first, thought this isn't happening. Then realised it was when most of shops closed, queued to get into supermarket, empty shelves, no toilet rolls

Strange at first not doing things as part of normal routine. Started to have really strange dreams, thankfully not every night. Also recalling situations/meeting people that I have no wish to repeat. Doing elderly mother's food shopping as well as own for first time. Wondering how to get rid of household waste as the dump was closed. Bad driving; why are people ignoring speed limits, road signs?!? Hairdressers closed, what will it be like when we can go again. Heard we won't be able to chat

Now for the positives. Unavailable items in supermarket now far less. Neighbour allows me to dispose of household rubbish in his bin, then having regular chat with him (socially distancing of course). Recycling goes in my mother's one. Made a compost container for garden clippings. Ordering online and the nice delivery people. Know it sounds selfish but not being asked to take in other people's parcels.

Finally, have mixed thoughts about face masks. A pharmacist told me that they shouldn't be worn as can cause respiratory problems. Coughing/sneezing into them can draw germs/mucus back into lungs. Yes, some people do need to use them, so do it properly. My biggest rant is about dirty people who don't wash their hands after using toilet (yes, women too!) and those going round in dirty coats
