So yeah, we all got caught with our pants down regarding this Covid-19 situation, and right now this is the start of the fifth full day since the British PM put the whole nation into quarantine to stop the spread of this pestilence.

I have personal projects, and I've been up at sparrow's fart each morning, watching the red sun rise, so bright and clear - about as bright as when I was a kid, actually. The air outside feels fresh when I open the windows, and I've enjoyed ploughing ahead with my projects without a shred of guilt about wondering whether I should be in town or going for walks instead.

This national quarantine is unprecedented in modern history, though there has been a historical precedent - the Black Death.

Terrifying times, indeed. And all this sunshine, gone to waste.
