Since the 13th of March,

I went out of the house on 30 March, 8 April for my x-ray, and 27 April. Three times.

Not counting standing outside on my property while my dog greets the garden, generally in the dark.

I left the house on Monday: one of my customers had a birthday over the weekend and received plants via mail that needed to be stuck in the mud.

I’m also not counting going in the garden: do that multiple times a day.

When do you next expect to leave the house?

I don't expect to have to leave the house at any time. This isn't much different than my regular lifestyle. The only frustration is that my mother needs assistance, and I'm not allowed to see her or help her. She lives about a six minute drive from me.

I have no plans or appointments whatsoever, and I've always done online groceries.

Not sure, we're well stocked up and online deliveries work fine, but things started re-opening here and more of them will do so next month. I'm in two minds about sending the kids back to school.

Were you pestered by any drama-queens in your family during this? :lol:

Friday: my grandmother hasn’t seen another human being for six weeks and isn’t coping with it very well, so going to sit a suitable distance apart in her garden.

AprilR’s question: It’s a long time since I’ve played any board games, and I’ve never been into video games.
So I’m going with Mahjong & Solo Whist.
I enjoy losing at those :lol:

No, not myself: Mrs K has... so I’ve heard about other people doing a drama.

Repeat of AprilR’s question

The Longest Journey definitely! My name is also from that game!

What's the last book you read?

Sorry April, I didn't see your question. I've never played a video game. Not even a game on my phone. I like Scrabble as a board game. The last book I read was Ash Wednesday (TS Eliot). I'm in the midst of The Mill on the Floss, and I'm reading passages from various books for my course, too.

I'm doing what my wife calls a "brain enema" to go along with the laziness and re-read Stephen King's Duma Key.

Same q

:lol: brain enema! Fantastic phrase :lol:

Last book I read was The Making of the English Working Class by E P Thompson, only a decade after I was first recommended it :P

Haven't really had trouble finding anything we usually get, I guess we've been lucky. Some things we need to get a different brand than usual, but for the most part everything's been there when we need/want it.

The song stuck in my head right now is the Oompa-Loompa song from the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Are people in the area near you doing yardwork involving noisy machinery today? (Right now I'm listening to my next-door neighbor using a weed-whacker :x )
