Things to do in Lockdown

[piglette]

I have created a webpage on things that hopefully might help make lockdown and PMR/GCA more bearable.

Digital books-

No need to ask what you've been up to for the last few weeks!!!! Brilliant!

Quite enjoyed Cats at the weekend!

Stops the boredom. Apart from some huge great lorry running into my parked car. Said they would pay and now having trouble getting anything out of them. That takes up time!

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to piglette]

Oh no!!! That's rubbish - hope you have a good insurance company

The days aren't long enough here!

[piglette in reply to PMRpro]

Insurance company did not want to know, LV by the way. Said they would just write off my car. Said it was easier for me to do it. Of course no work for them. I assume they are thinly staffed, so line of least resistance.

Not sure that surprises me! I remember being SO impressed with the German company we had to deal with when the idiot drove out in front of me - the rescue service had a pile of forms, explained them to me and I signed them. They handed me a key, we drove away. Went back 3 weeks later to get our shiny repaired car. I got a bank transfer for damage to me, not a penny needed from us or anything to do. Anything I've had to do with a UK company bears more relationship to your experience - and as for the garages ...

Not good...someone ran into my car parked outside my house a while back. Got my wall too. The car was sorted quickly as motability and the protagonist had a motability car (picked it up 2 hours before the crash). The house wall took months. Good luck.

Fantastic! Thanks so much for curating this - so much to see and do! I have just been watching the giraffes in Africa! The pandas in Edinburgh zoo haven’t got out of bed yet..a bit like me this morning! X

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Horsewhisper]

Is their bamboo supply OK? One pair of pandas have had to be sent home - was it in Canada?

I have only just seen* this wonderful list - thank you so much for doing all that work.

(* while doing some 'housekeeping' in my emails. There was a period last month when I kind-of gave up looking at stuff coming in. It was one of the elements of chaos that I chose to ignore some days).
