    I moved from an apartment last summer... was sick of being cooped up. Currently sat outside in the garden enjoying a nice Ruby Mild.

    I'm coordinating a local group in my town helping people who are isolating for 12+ weeks or if they're ill or shielding vulnerable people. The most vulnerable up here were sent this letter on Saturday. I know the items are basic but at least it gets people through. It says that this is the list to begin with but as time goes on there may be a more personalised weekly delivery. I presume the England and Wales box will be similar to begin with if not identical. Hats off to the government for this, what an excellent way to look after people and encourage them to stay home. Also reduces the time volunteers like me have to spend in shops for them.

    All sorts of exciting things like instant coffee, long life milk, weetabix and enough potatoes to start a farm shop. The government even enclosed a letter threatening to send me more of these food parcels every week.

    I've now advised them I don't want any more.

    That's indeed unusual. It's much more common to want it and NOT be getting it... Oh, hang on...Wait a minute.... What are we talking about again?

    Day 45 - I have the definitive answer now and it's YES, another Government food box arrived today.

    Managed to catch the delivery person and he, somewhat reluctantly, agreed to take it away. As he walked off with the box I think I heard him say:

    Day 3 - Returned to the battle to get a supermarket home delivery last night. Kept trying four supermarkets before managing to secure an Asda slot for April. Now have four deliveries (from different places) organised.

    Trying to build up my beer stocks as well, which is off to a good start with a delivery of mini casks from Yeovil Brewery.

    Predictions:
    Day 27 - Start talking to myself
    Day 44 - Start arguing with myself
    Day 63 - Start losing those arguments
    Day 74 - Radio Ga Ga
