I'm starting to get bored. I mean really bored, not just 'a bit fed up' with things. Yesterday I got the urge to drive somewhere far away, the urge for a change of scenery was almost overwhelming. I didn't, of course, but it's not like me at all. It's only a state of mind, of course, but I think I need to make changes to my daily routine to stop it being so predictable.
I might start having my lunch at half twelve instead of twelve o'clock. ;D

Know the feeling Steve , I am really glad that we have something to occupy us both now with the properties SWMBO has inherited having to sort them out will keep us busy, got back from the smoke yesterday nice to have a decent run in the car, the weather on the way home was horrendous though.

I reckon I've also put a few pounds on, those hills appear to be getting steeper......and longer. :-[

I could spend a load of dosh on a new (different) car and, when the wife asks WTF I'm playing at, tell her I've got mental health issues. Hmmmmm..... :-\

After a lot of thought i'm going for my jab at 1pm. Just hope that this mass immunisation leads to more freedom as i'm the same as you Steve, bored shitless. ;D Trouble is, all the negative reports and headlines on the media point to these restrictions going on for quite some time yet. :( . I tend to keep away from the great unwashed, even before all this crap, but i do like to get out and about as much as possible. Oh well, just get on with it i suppose. SWMBO has decided not to have hers yet as she rarely goes out now anyway. :-\

Yes, get your jab, Ronny. Even if it's only 50% effective, it will hopefully stop you getting really ill if you catch the virus. I had my first one two weeks ago, and it has actually made me feel a tad less worried about catching covid. Not more complacent or careless, you'll note, just a bit less worried.
-
It's not the catching it that's the worry, it's everything but that.

It's a worry for older people, despite your opinions.

As a species, we're standing at the edge of the chasm.
As people, we will all go at some point.
If you've no regrets and you have everything in order, why would you waste time worrying about this or anything else?
If you've regrets then you might feel you aren't ready to go. In which case do you worry about what might happen, or do you go and do things to resolve or appease those regrets?
The single sticking point boils down to the fact that whilst we're all hiding under the bed, we cannot catch up with getting anything done to calm our souls...
You might think our motivation is different, but when you boil it down we're all in the same place regardless of how we arrived.

Keep us up to date with the new four-wheeled exotica that will soon be sitting on your drive. :y

I'm fortunate to be still working flat out right through this but am feeling frustrated/p*ssed off through my weekend time off as there's little I can do, this leads to me not getting a proper rest. I was fortunate to get my first Pfizer jab in mid Dec due to working in the NHS, we had some updated info on Friday from our clinical lead that the first jab gives up to 89% protection from serious Covid infection which I found reassuring.
I don't drop in here much these days but hope you and the family are all good Ste!

We all have regrets. Personally I prefer to regret the things I've done rather than the things I haven't. This way we know we have f*ucked up rather than guessing what 'may have been'

Except, of course, that very selfish view of things pays no attention to the others that are affected by our demise. You pop your clogs whenever you feel like it, Al, I'm planning on hanging around.

Very lucky to be where we are thanks, Jon. Boredom is 'a bit of a nuisance', but does not compare with what a lot of people are going through. Thanks for all your good work, mate, and hope you and yours stay well.

I suppose it all depends on your definition of 'hanging about'
Fit, healthy, optimistic, lots of sex, pots of money.... :y
Sitting in your own shit and piss for 20 years with a brain that has turned to mush.... :'(

The financial stuff can be prepared, and as long as everyone is clear as to what arrangements are in place, that's something that doesn't need worrying about.
That only leaves the emotional stuff, and that's down to the individuals concerned.
Worry about what you can affect and don't worry about what you can't. Which is easier said than done when there's nothing but doom mongering on the news.

You may find, except in your own, simplistic world, that a lot of people would have trouble 'preparing' the financial stuff, esp if money is tight and the person who dies is the breadwinner.

People 'left behind' so to speak are always able to sort things out. Always have and always will.
I have had five major bereavements since 2010. I was sole executor of the will for three of these.
More funerals than parties recently....which is a portent of things to come. :)
Al has a point. Don't stress over things you can't control, you'll make yourself unwell.

Lockdown hasnt affected my life that much, as Im still working as normal. It would have driven me mad if I had to stay at home 24/7,partiticularly though the winter.
I miss going to the little Social club I help to run, But have taken up going for walks - 1.5 to 2 miles a day, and also got roped into doing Joe Wicks exercise routines with swmbo. ::)
Im working on the basis that there wont be any kind of normality until around the end of this year. Cant see it happening much before that.

Read a report somewhere this morning that said, even if the vaccination program goes as planned, until they prove the efficacy of said vaccine against spreading the disease, social distancing will be in place. End of this year, as you say, seemed to be the opinion of most of the medical experts.

We were talking about the problems caused by people dying and leaving a shitty situation for those left behind. You brushed this off as nothing when, for most people, it would be a disaster. You then moved on to not stressing over things you can't control, so I take you were talking about something totally different then?

I know. I know because it has happened to me 5 times in the last eleven years. I didn't say it was easy because it's not but people deal with death, and the consequences of death, because it is inevitable.

But we're any of the relatives of the folk who unfortunately passed away left destitute? That's the point I made in my post.

Death, and who has, or has not been left anything in the will, is always enlightening. ::)
I know from personal experience that some who were expecting to 'be saved financially' by the imminent demise of a loved one where in fact left with SFA.....one particular individual I didn't like so.... ;D ;D ;D

I'm not sure what you are getting at.
Some people may be left destitute (as you call it) when an individual dies, and others won't. How do you propose to remedy this?

Post number 20 is what I was talking about. WTF you are on about, god only knows.
-
Waiting for someone else to die isn't a plan, nor is expecting those left behind to deal with everything unprepared.
Grief is no foundation for sound decisions to be made... So preempt those decisions and get everyone on the same page with clear heads.
If that's simplistic, then so be it, but why complicate it so much? That's not fair on those left.

It's not complicated to try to understand that some, a lot, of people live from week to week, on the breadline. The death of the breadwinner is a catastrophe, one that cannot be mitigated beforehand. Simple, unless you want to get all nonsensical about it.
Therefore, despite your point of view, we will remain in lockdown and people's lives will be saved.

Provided a will has been left then the executor named in the will shall have immediate access and control to the bank accounts of the bereaved. If the bereaved has money this can then be used to pay for funeral costs and other expenses. If the bereaved has no money then crisis loans/grants are available.
I really don't know why you are so obsessed with this topic. You seem distressed.

And I'm not distressed at all, just exasperated, as usual, with the total lack of understanding of how the other half live.
Al was the first to mention the subject, by the way, but you're not very good at reading previous posts, are you? :P

......the death of a breadwinner is inevitable and happens thousands, many hundreds of thousands times a day, throughout the world. We know this. Everybody knows this.
It's not a new thing.
It's what happens.

Sigh...yes...but we don't want to kill hundreds/thousands of breadwinners by removing the lockdown, as Al was saying......do we?

No, silly, people without money can obtain a crisis grant from the DSS to help pay for the funeral costs. I know of somebody who received £2000 which is supposedly enough for a basic funeral without any frills. This money is rarely repaid.
-
Waiting for someone else to die isn't a plan, nor is expecting those left behind to deal with everything unprepared.
Grief is no foundation for sound decisions to be made... So preempt those decisions and get everyone on the same page with clear heads.
If that's simplistic, then so be it, but why complicate it so much? That's not fair on those left.
It's not complicated to try to understand that some, a lot, of people live from week to week, on the breadline. The death of the breadwinner is a catastrophe, one that cannot be mitigated beforehand. Simple, unless you want to get all nonsensical about it.
Therefore, despite your point of view, we will remain in lockdown and people's lives will be saved.
Define 'saved'...
Do one ;D
See, feeling betterer already :D

Post number 20 is what I was talking about. WTF you are on about, god only knows.
Provided a will has been left then the executor named in the will shall have immediate access and control to the bank accounts of the bereaved. If the bereaved has money this can then be used to pay for funeral costs and other expenses. If the bereaved has no money then crisis loans/grants are available.
I really don't know why you are so obsessed with this topic. You seem distressed.
And you seem like you're on another planet, again ;D
Loans, grants ;D ;D ;D

And, if they have a few pennies left, they can have one last Big Mac, before they starve to death ;D
Unless they apply for universal credit, of course, from which the funeral loan will be deducted. ::)

"Keep calm and carry on" was tried last March, very briefly ::)
then people did the maths and decided thousands would die and the NHS would be over run .
because of the spread, people NOT following the rules ,the NHS IS over run .
125 thousand excess deaths :(
many of those had families who cared and where left heartbroken ,not just turned up for the will reading ::)
As Uncle Stemo said , if the diseased was the breadwinner ,that leaves major financial problems to deal with on to of the heartache ,and borrowing money to pay for funerals just puts people into debt or even more debt .
Had people taken Chinese Virus more seriously ,we could be in a much better place right now >:(
I've lost a sh** load of time/money in the last year, but I'd rather think of it as investing time/money into having family and loved ones still alive .
We probably will have to social distance etc for another year, not have holidays abroad, be careful and considerate of others, yes there will be a big bill to pay for many years to come ,but if everyone got on board and stopped spreading Chinese Virus everywhere ,thinking it won't effect them ,why should they bother, this would be over sooner .

The whippet is the one with the common sense. :)
As far as I am aware, if you don't register the death then you are not responsible for costs. A good tip you you don't happen to like the deceased.
I think the body/funeral expense then becomes the responsibility of the council.
This happens when people die with no next of kin and no money.

Anyway, Ive just got back from my 1.7 mile walk and my legs are facked. Cant be arsed with you lot arguing so pack it in. :P
I have no worries about what inheritance I might get as no-one has ever left me a penny and no-one ever will, so count yourselves lucky. ::)

You may find yourself in the situation that when you croak nobody wants to register your death so they can save a few grand. :)

I am in no way suggesting that either situation shouldn't weigh on your mind some, but nevertheless, worrying doesn't achieve anything.
And I don't agree that any such treatments should be delayed or disrupted... The Nightingale sites should be dealing with the Chinese Virus and the rest of the health service should be dealing with day to day stuff. Failing that going private should be a provided option, especially if the powers that be insist on bottling up the NHS.
Perhaps, if people started taking the government/NHS to court for premeditated negligence, they might reconsider their priorities. But that's a whole different debate.

In the interest of diversity and box ticking I suggest the words be changed to " that's one small step for all the genders of the world, and one giant leap for gender kind"
Obviously, Mr Armstrong as a white oppressor and racist is unsuitable to speak so I suggest a Jamaican rap artist to tick further woke boxes.
As for 'not possible that it will happen' BLM have been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize. It seems that looting and burning is now a peaceful activity and must be rewarded.

I don't think people need any more tips on loopholes and how to sneak out and spread Chinese Virus
seems to be more people about these days than before Covid ;D

Lockdown is impossible to enforce , as long as you're not being blatantly stupid you could get away with virtually anything if that floats your boat, the advice given makes sense to me even more now the virus has mutated again may be a boring daily routine but beats struggling for breath or worse.

Cleaned the car this afternoon and took it for a two mile spin to dry the brakes out, as i normally do. Saw three police cars parked up on local industrial estate, off Jct 45 A14. They'd gone when i came back. First time i've used car in over a week as i cycle or walk to go shopping.

I spray my neighbours bins, doors, paths etc with disinfectant FREE OF CHARGE and stay 2 meters minimum away from them :P
even before Chinese Virus ,I chopped their overhanging trees down and gave them it all back
I'm very public spirited :D
Point I was making was that every time there is a lockdown, the TV and papers are full of tips ,"you can get away with this...if you're exercising .... you can visit one house .... meet uncle in the park ..." :(
the point of a lockdown is you interact with as dew people as possible , to stop the virus spreading .
as far as wildlife goes, I own a tree and some grass :y
