Fairly sure i saw a couple on here as well who work in Bristol for the NHS, i'm sure there are plenty of you!

Just a quick one Laird Scooby got things a little wrong. Forrest works in IT for NHS. If that goes down we will be in a pickle. I'm in factory maintenance, keeping things running at work. Luckily the wife being the company financial director can do a lot of her work from home. As for the self employed, I do feel for you all, a few of my mates are self employed in the building sector and are having to sit it out. After a couple of days, the novelty of mooching round the garden and having a cheeky beer, has worn off bloody rapidly.

My mistake, sorry! I read both of your posts in quick succession and obviously confused the pair of you - no offence intended!

What you've got there Luke, without the sand and liner is what's technically called a BFO Hole!

Shame you're so far away and travel is restricted, you could have had my share of the local sand!

Haha, well the dog is enjoying the hole, however it's not quite as deep as it was before as she has been pushing the pile of dirt back in to the hole!

Dogs are really helpful in the garden aren’t they. We used to have a lawn in our back garden. The previous lab. started the damage with his pee when he was receiving chemo. for Lymphoma. His replacement is a “scraper”. He seriously excavates with his back legs after peeing. That which was previously a lawn is now a patch of grass and mud and very difficult to mow.
I have a long list of jobs to do, garden, house and car but I’m having difficulty finding the enthusiasm and energy to do any of them when in the past I would have just rolled from one to the next. I must make an effort and get to it whilst confined.
Sorry about the moan but I had to let it out.
Stay safe and well everyone.
