Unsettling - coronavirus Britain

I'm hoping that we will get a lift of the lock down restrictions sometime towards the end of May. The PM suggested they would go for a sort of apply and lift and apply and lift model so as to flatten the peak and give the NHS a chance to treat everyone properly.

So, I cleaned the interior of Arwen - lots of black mould from over the winter and then repacked her ready for a quick escape should the opportunity arise.  She needs a clean on the exterior as well but I saved that for another day!

I struggled to remember where things went. And when I rigged the mast - I left off the main halyard - dur!

Before spending the morning on Arwen, the Boss and I had called in at our local Lidl store. We got there for when the doors opened at 8am. It was a surreal experience. People queued outside but kept 2 - 3m away from each other. No one spoke - total silence amongst the thirty odd people waiting. The store staff wore simple plastic visors to protect themselves. No one loitered around the middle aisles to see what clothing and tool bargains there were to be had. Purposefully, in silence, everyone shot around the store and got out as fast as they could. It felt eerie. Dangerous. Like you really didn't want to be there. No smiles, no eye contact. Social distancing in reality!
