Cannot help but think if i had spent more time doing rather than thinking I might have a model railway to play with during this lockdown.

As it stands I have a gap in the room I am filling with rubbish instead.

However, the impending isolation did make me get off my fat a*s and clear out the rubbish from my late father's flat - three trips to the tip and a lesson in reverse engineering a sofa back into wood, padding and fabric.  Don't we collect a lot of cr*p throughout a lifetime that for anyone else has absolutely no value once the person who so loved them has gone.  I had to be particularly ruthless as it would be easy to go "that's useful", though one week since dismantling destroying his layout I am thinking I should have kept some of that 2x1 for when the lockdown comes!!

Also it has become self evident that I am thriving under lockdown whilst other's are finding it a real issue.  For me nothing has changed, I have worked from home since 2014, I only generally go out to shop or exercise and they are not prohibited.  Ok, I do like a meal out and visits to railway exhibitions but I can live without both for the time being.

For the weekends to come I have three rooms to paint, a house to tidy and plenty of stuff to study so hopefully I don't come down with anything as I am just too busy.
