Stabliofarmer Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Uni work has been decreasing steadily over the last two weeks. I don't imagine there will be many assignments kept on after today's announcement so there should be plenty of time to get modelling! Haven't got near any models recently so it'll be a little silver lining amongst all that's happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel so sorry for you Sean... Not the fact you have to work during the lockdown but the fact you have to go to Yeovil!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Dan Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Put some fertilizer/crabgrass control on the lawn and ran the gas out of the snowblower yesterday. This is one of the first winters that I can remember that we didn’t have enough snow to use the snowblower. Also charged up the battery on the electric start lawnmower. I had already put lime on the yard a few weeks ago and with the rain expected tomorrow and the way the lawn looks now, I would think that I will be cutting grass by next week. On another note, yes we stay at home now, except to go to the store or get gas. I walk my chihuahua each day if the weather is nice. There are only 5 cases of the coronavirus in our Franklin County at this time. I believe, unfortunately, that the numbers will rise. My daughter-in-law who is a physician and on the board at the hospital, said that if this becomes unprecedented in this community and she has to live at the hospital that even though ICU is not her specialty, that she is prepared for it. Hope it doesn’t come to that. I sincerely hope you all stay safe. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
