Mine has improved vastly. I was trying to sell my house, which had fallen into disrepair, and a buyer fell through, but a friend mentioned it to a builder friend of his, who took one look and offered me a reasonable sum for it, warts and all.
This was just as the virus started to be felt. My friend hustled me out of there on Feb 10th, and I was safely delivered to Wales. A few days afterwards I heard that the first cases had arrived in the old county from Italy.
OK, I'm short of furniture, but most wouldn't have fitted in the bungalow, so it is no great loss. It's amazing how you can creatively use packing boxes, for tables, on their side as storage, cut down and stacked for bookcases, etc.
OK, shopping is a bit of a pain, deliveries are few and far between, and we can't go see our friends, but everybody is in the same boat. It's amazing how you can keep entertained if you have to. I've rediscovered Solitaire, Trying to learn the rules of Thud, plenty of books and the local newspapers to read, helping me learn the culture and history of the new town.
Cheers, Midori.
