Drewomega, hope you are managing. Could be worse places to be stuck. Are they British Embassy  recovery flights home? Hope you get sorted . I read somewhere that Mallorca wasn't thinking of reopening until 2021.

Day 37 of my exile here near Scarborough. It is going alright apart from the weekly hassle of getting food. My dad has recovered and his cocktail of drugs are working. Quite frustrating not being able to do much like throwing stuff away ( all three bins are full each time they are collected). Have taken an Amazon Prime subscription and bought a firestick which works very well on his unlimited internet. Had nearly twenty things delivered like a trolley for him to wheel his stuff around on. 

Mrs V is a different kettle of fish. If the lockdown had occurred in June she could have sat it out for a good ten months. We always have plenty of stuff in just in case of vehicle failure. The problem is that it is the pollen season and May is the peak. Previous years we vacate the country end of April for 5 weeks. Last year we misjudged it and we had to seek A and E on route for her to go on a nebuliser and oxygen in the evening and again in the morning. It was quite disconcerting. She has contacted the British embassy for travel documents and had already booked passage and a cabin on the Bilboa to Portsmouth ferry end later this month. She will sleep in the car en route as no hotels open and only drive thru fast food joints.  Well that is the plan.

 You'll be lucky getting a ferry, as they are only excepting Freight bookings.

Have also been providing, at a distance, tuition to one of my grandsons, a 9 year old, using the internet based school homework with a strong influence towards mathematics, literacy and history.

Apart from that just relaxing

Ohhhh....Lizzie. You must have been a child bride, as must have been your daughter.

Far call, and intend to keep doing the same until heading off to work later.
Once at work I shall continue to do far call for 12 hours until its time to go home again. Process will be repeated tomorrow and Monday.

Not really a lockdown here, the missus goes to work most days. Which means I do pretty much the same as I always did. Weekends are a bit better, because she can't go shopping for shite that she doesn't need. Uni boy is home, I think. See him twice a day when he comes down for food. I took Mo's old exercise bike up to his room and, to be fair, I've heard him hammering that for the last few days.
I'm a bit jealous, to tell the truth. I walk for miles with the dog,and think I'm quite fit. He lies in bed on his computer most of the time. He does a quick half hour on the bike, that would fickin kill me if I tried it. 

What is a 20 year old locked away from feminine company doing the rest of the time, I wonder.

You need to buy a detached house or a house with a larger garden.

It will be 100% your fault. So get it right.

My eldest son is 45 this year!
