Oh yeah, we were supposed to be going to Brazil at some point this year to take the boy to meet his family on my wife's size. However, as they have a bigger lunatic-in-chief than America, I'm really not sure when that'll happen. Brazil are in for a horrible, horrible time with Covid-19 by all accounts.

Mine's really quite mundane, we moved just before lockdown started, and need various bits of new furniture- we get everything from charity shops, and either paint it or just give it a spruce up, so looking forward to the shops opening again

I've been lusting after trip up North. Just have wait and see when will be good to go.

Pub is high on the list as is good day out at the races with friends. Covid-19 has kyboshed quite a few of these events I had planned with friends and customers.

Is poo transfusion a thing now? I really can't work out if that's a typo or there's a reason for emergency transportation of faeces,

It’s getting harder to get stuff cheap these days, as a lot of people jump on the bandwagon- I’ve got a real soft spot for stag minstrel furniture, but everyone seems to think it’s worth a fortune suddenly

We do a lot of sample transport. Some of it is poo. I try not to sniff it just in case.

Nothing too exciting other than getting out on all the bikes, giving the cars a run, and trying to book my next trackday for the CBR.
Most of this summer will be trying to get this project in a box, I'll be taking a long break after this one I suspect.

Got a few jobs around the house I want to sort too, easier when I can move freely to shops though.

Poo transplants are a thing - heavy courses of antibiotics wipe out all the good bacteria in the stomach so it’s a quick way of replacing them. It’s the shit as youngsters would say.

Mostly looking forward to normality, shopping, seeing my parents for the first time in a couple of months. Have booked cornwall for Oct half term and looking at Bruges HM the week before, but will have to see if that is viable first. Hopefully getting the old 'yota on the road.

I've not really thought about it as I'm not clear on how much long it's going to go on and what 'normality' will look like. Someone was saying this week that the rumour was Europe we not going to let us back in until October..

Working from home with 2 young kids is pretty hard going though, feel for them more than anything as they are getting bored. I have been stocking up on my stock & share ISA's though :D

Fuck yes. Have someone else pour me a pint, from a tap, in a glass.

Not really fussed about a lot of things, but would be nice to be able to pop to a restaurant or go to the supermarket without having to stand in a queue for hours and follow a one way system.

Our wales break mid July is still booked but don't know if anything will be open and won't be much fun if we can't go out to eat.

I won’t be going to a pub for at least a week when they reopen, they will be jammed with people getting as pissed as possible and no end of trouble.

People have spent the last 5-6 weeks tidying their houses and gardening, combined with loads of councils cutting rubbish collections :roll:

This is why I'm not really fussed about immediately doing all manner of things, once the lockdown ends. People are going to go over the top.

Just go out a little with my bikes and cars, maybe a bit of local green laning.

Hopefully I'll be able to do the trips I planned for this year, next year instead.

Our neighbors moved in about a month before lockdown to the huge house with outdoor pool next door to us. The whole place hadn’t been refurbished since the 70s and was generally falling apart. By the time lockdown ends, I am hoping the refurb will be finished and we can head round for a massive POOL PARTY.

Also, friends round for dinner with wine in general.

No it’s like everything else that just opens, stupid ridiculous queues as everyone can’t wait a bit. Everyone has to go there on day 1.
