Under House Arrest day 42

Tuesday 5th May 2020.
Today we went into Bridgeford, mainly to post that card, but also to do a top-up shop. We went down on the ten to ten bus and caught the ten to eleven back, not bad going really. You won't believe what we are struggling to find, of all things Quorn mince and pieces! Is everyone turning veggie/ vegan? I find the weirdest stuff out of stock. Getting flour is harder to get hold of than cocaine. 
Anyway once we were home I started work on the page for today's dialog and once that was done I started on the class page... That's going to take a couple of days. 
My stencils came from the smiley box people, so that will make the project easier. I will post a picture of it when it's done. 
I'm trying hard to avoid all but the COVID briefings on tv, the numbers and the stories make me panic. There are so many things that don't add up, so many contradictions in what's reported. Take today, for instance, the news was lead by a story that the Chinese among others had tried to hack into our research into the virus. Straight after they did an article on how hate crimes have risen exponentially against Chinese and similar ethic people living here ( most actually are more than likely born and bred here) how bloody irresponsible is it to say on one hand that there is hacking going on possibly by China and then wonder why xenophobic idiots are singling out that race to vent their stupid rage on. If that hacking is going on ( and I think that's a big if) it would be the Chinese government NOT the Chinese people behind it. But as we know some people can't separate the two. This is why I can't take too much info on all this. There is already a horror story unfolding without adding to it by inciting bigots to single out more innocent people to beat to death, just because of their race. Right that it, end of rant. I'm signing off now. Stay in, stay safe and stay sane.
