Ive heard that some Iceland stores will be opening for the over 70's from 9am to 11am this Wednesday ID may be required.  May be worth checking out.  Pity they can't delay it until after 9.30 when the bus pass kicks in.

Scotlands People has also closed in Edinburgh and I would think that the same will apply to the Mitchell Library in Glasgow.

The Church of Scotland have just announced that all services of Worship have been suspended as well as The General Assembly due to take place in May. However church buildings may remain open as a place for sanctuary or prayer.

  I don't think I need worry too much about being stopped by a policeman out here in the country!
  My daughter has gone down with something which she feels is probably the virus, though she has had no fever and is feeling better today. Says her chest is still painful. Hence I am in self-imposed isolation, as she lives nearby and I have been in her house recently, although not for long.
   The Church of England is also suspending services. At last week's service, the lady vicar, who is a bit on the alternative side, suggested we do the Indian "namaste" greeting during the peace - shaking hands was already banned. Not sure how well that went down, but I dislike that part of the service anyway.

You are understandably worried about your son Carol especially as he is so far away from you.

Take care,

Some good news for people who need jobs because their industry is laying people off, and good news for people who need home deliveries.

Coronavirus: Morrisons delivery demand 'to create 3,500 new jobs'

I imagine the other supermarkets will be following.

I've also seen stories suggesting pubs and restaurants might offer delivery services.
