I do understand the need for a lockdown but from the perspective of a person living in a “shack” sharing a single room with 6 people, it becomes almost impossible to stay inside. it’s a difficult thing to accomplish.“We are staying at home now. Before we were going to the shops, but the soldiers are beating people so everyone is inside now,” said Emily Ndemande, a domestic worker who lives in Alexandra.
Everyone is inside because the soldiers are beating them - not because of the virus. Oh. My. Vape.I hope that the soldiers continue beating them!!
EDIT:
For once I am so relieved that I don't have a domestic! Even when lockdown is lifted, how do you know that your domestic isn't a carrier of the virus, without showing symptoms? And she's the one who will come into your home; look after your kids. Worrying.
the internet smoke can entertain me for a long time but I can’t imagine times where I can’t even afford data etc.
Not a personal attack or any nonsense like that, I’m just reflecting on what it is possibly like to be the lower class in this time.
I don't like to class people so I would just say unfortunate.
That's the system your either part of it or it spits you out. What I have realised is it doesn't matter what you own,how much you got, what you've achieved. We're all equal right now.
I started reading a good book a while ago and my wife and I have been “cleaning” systematically.
It did feel good throwing away things that I kept for over 12 years and were stored in black boxes in the garage.
I think I have thrown away about 5 full municipal bins of junk and donated another 4 bins of toys and ancient electronics etc. it’s amazing to think about the amount of garbage I have been hoarding.
Here is the book cover available for purchase on amazon kindle.
P.S my new packing method is to store everything in visible storage or in sequence for example all lightbulbs on one shelf so I can see with a glance if I have what I need and if I have enough.
this whole exercise was sparked because I went to builders and bought 20 LED globes because my lounge light has 3 dead lights only to discover I had about 10 of those globes hidden on another shelf.

It’s the reality of the situation unfortunately. I came from the lower class but my parents sacrificed to give their children an education. It’s the only thing I can say I got from my parents, the rest I had to do myself.
I sometimes wonder if it was given because my dad grew up in WWII with German occupation of Greece and the economic downturn after the war but that’s the one thing he never got, an education, so he did all he could to give that to his kids.
Also you ran out of beer on a fishing trip....
If you really need to...get to a pharmacy and get some BP/USP grade glycerine to bail you out.

Around 5 I heard my wife was awake so I made her breakfast in bed but before I took it to her I got dressed :full suite and tie and a green clown hair wig. Walked into the bedroom with my laptop bag around my shoulder gave her a kiss and her breakfast and walked out. This was followed withfrom us both.

Slightly. More sweeter than what we're used too. Go easy on sweeteners.
Day 3: SWAMBO is spending the day at home. Have been up since 6am cleaning house and doing laundry. Just finished processing the rest of the pumpkin from yesterday into cubes to freeze for later. Taking stock of all supplies today and setting up a menu and a plan of action for my To Do list from SWAMBO.

Day 3.
Second attempt at cleaning the garden went much better. It’s looking like something at least and I love the smell of freshly cut grass. But not when I have to do it. I’m not made for this type of work
Now I’m sitting on my tablet making sure to rate my gardening services company, 1 star with a spiced comment, on all the websites they’re advertising on

So that's how you're supposed to do them. The way I do it takes hours and hours. From now on I will do it your way. Thanks.
