Lock This Topic Too! (By Next New Year's Day!!!)

[shisteer of nothing much]

*mutters darkly* That's so boring though.

[Booklover]

But when will I have the opportunity to buy it for him?

[shisteer of nothing much]

I don't know.

[Booklover]

Nor do I.

[shisteer of nothing much]

Oh. You could do it next time you go shopping.

[Booklover]

Not with lockdown.

[shisteer of nothing much]

Oh yeah, true. What are you allowed to do?

[Booklover]

Walks can be as long as you like, but with social distancing. You can meet up with one other household, outside, staying at least 2m apart. You can go out to work if you can't work at home, but schools are still closed. I think that's it.

[shisteer of nothing much]

Ah, see. Our schools are open now. (Not that that affects us)

[Booklover]

Even when schools do open, it'll be primary schools, then years 10 and 11, I think, so I won't end up going back until September, probably.

[shisteer of nothing much]

Ah, fair enough. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

[Booklover]

It means I have more time to read... but I'm not learning as much stuck at home.

[shisteer of nothing much]

Fair enough. You can learn a surprising amount from books, though.

Now, I'm going to go to bed. (Need to be fresh and ready for tap tomorrow) Goodnight.

[Booklover]

Goodnight.

[shisteer of nothing much]

Thanks.
