Operation Survival


Operation Survival has been mobilised - No.2 Son has been infiltrated into Tesco's staff as a home shopping picker for a 12 week contract which starts Saturday. 


That's us sorted for food for the next 3 months. However, we intend to beat the panic merchants by buying our meat at the local butcher and our veg at the local greengrocer; the typical panic buyer doesn't have a clue such shops exist. I might put a hat on the floor outside Tesco and entertain the panic buyers with a bit of unicycling to earn a bob or two...

The AirBnB is almost ready and I just have the en-suite to sort out with a bit of judicious polishing of the Cotswold stone shower floor and then sealing it.






Pity we won't now have any customers due to the emergency, but we have considered advertising it as a high-spec self-isolation room for the more discerning croaker. Mind you, Badminton Horse Trials haven't been cancelled yet and could be good for a bit of business, although I'm not keen on inviting potentially virus-laden people into my home, or horses.

Meanwhile, Mrs Queen issued a message of solidarity while heading to her bunker at Windsor. Perhaps that's a bit unfair - she is 80 odd, after all.

Maybe time to start seeding that section (plot) of yours with kale and spuds before someone does a ram raid on your local greengrocer!
