Sorry to hear Mark - condolences.
With the lockdown we cannot visit my mother in her care home 210 miles away. They locked down early March and touch wood - no virus issues. Like me and seemingly the rest of my family she had no problem with self isolation as she hasn’t mixed with other people for years. We used to keep her topped up with sherry but with the current situation I just had to rely on a mate up in Ashton under Lyne to drop off 5 bottles of sherry. 4 weeks later another request from care home so another 5 bottles. She drinks a lot of sherry for a 93 year old but we thought fair enough. Turns out someone had put 3 bottles away for safe keeping so now she has a stockpile a little different from toilet rolls and hand sanitizer.
The next exciting project for me will be changing engine oil on the lawn mower. Just got a new Oil suction pump on order rather than messing about.
