I had to go to screwfix in Bangor earlier for a few plumbing fittings, couple off joints in roofspace started to leak a decent amount so it was essential as nowhere in Ards is open.
So I'm sat at haldane Fisher lights at the start off the carriageway, green light and was rude not to, left a wee van and the range rover behind him in my wake :) noticed the Range rover doing the van in the mirror but I was well up the road and gone, braked for the 40 coming back into Ards and noticed blue lights in the distance, slowed too 30 then and seen it was the Range rover jeep that had the blue lights on ffslol, pulled me in, asked me what I was doing, told me to go home straight away oh and you weren't exactly doing 70 there either, nice car by the way now get home :p:cool:

So much stuff getting sorted. Fixed a gear oil leak last week that has been present for over two years. That's how far behind I've been!

Hope everyone is in good health.

I've finally completed all the bathroom plumbing so the sink and bog are coming back out to finish the tiling to the wall.
All pipework throughout the house is 15mm plastic and pushfit connections, bought new hot/cold taps for the yard yesterday so get them sorted today too.
Cant get near the Dina with Danielle being a Social care worker and working flat out :cool::mad:

Family member passed away Monday due to the Virus. She was hospital for several hours before passing. It all happened very quickly and quite surprising!

Stay safe guys

Cheers fellas.

Funeral company wanted £5500 for a live streamed ceremony due to social distancing! Mental.

Or you could have only two people from one household there.

Pretty sickening prices for all these!

Sorry to hear that Calum :(

Keep away from this if you can lads. I have people working in healthcare and emergency services and am hearing bad stories.

Good afternoon everyone!I hope that you and your loved ones are all in good health first of all.Well since i haven't seen any posts on yhis subject i thought it would be a good idea since this is the global issue to post so we can see what are the measures that goverments took where we are located,how this has affected our lifes,families,jobs etc...So i'll start by saying that we are all here in Greece on house quarantine from basically the start,my job pretty much hasn't been affected but has way more paperwork (army...), as for my daily program it went fubar... the good thing though is that Greece's isolation program kept death and contamination rates really low(the common flu took more lifes than covid did) the bad thing is that there is no easter,no vacation and i can't go visit my family due to travel ban.

Good to hear you are well mate.

It seems the sooner governments have moved the better the outcome. UK was a bit lax and has been hit hard on the mainland, NI should hopefully not see the same trend. In fact I think the fact Southern Ireland took a stronger stance on the issue should help the whole island regardless of the border.

Stay safe :)

Some scary stats coming in from around the world. Social media seems to be filled with conspiracy theories and my whatsapp seems to come alive every couple of days with the same. I am limiting myself to news once per day and not getting in to it online with some of these reports.

You have to be careful mentally with this sort of thing because it is very easy for it to get in to your brain and dominate your thoughts. I am certainly not saying that anyone should be sticking their head in the sand but try not to let yourself become obsessed.

stay safe.
