    I am rehabilitating re walking 10km a day as my left knee cap fraked atm. Keeping occupied through walking in parks, gardening skills on the up,cooking skills on the up, reading, PC stuff and watching stuff on Netflix/Amazon Prime. As Pboro says very quiet, even here on the borders of London. I am liking the lack of aircraft, cars, people and the increase in clean air.

    Might try some more DIY stuff or improve my DIY stuff but the missus not that keen!

    No time for boredom that's for sure.

    We;re still in school albeit on a rota basis with only a handful of staff and children. It's very strange being there with so few of us. Other than that, I've got a dobro (steel guitar) sitting here that I've done bugger all with for the few years I've had it so I'm going to try to leasrn slide guitar properly.

    Reckon the Blues will be quite appropriate!

    Been catching up on my reading where I can, just finished Robbie Fowlers autobiography and now reading Carricks - both very good.

    Also in school on rotation, so not completely off work.
