So to summarise: Thank goodness for Staged.

ETA: Covid: New lockdown for England amid 'hardest weeks'
(Also Darcy did a big Aldi shop today, and could report that what people appear to have been panic buying this time round is... cat food and yogurt?)

THEY SHOULD USE POKEMON FOR COVID RATINGS!
MATT HANCOCK: Cornwall is still Pikachu, but we need to move London to Mewtwo. Manchester will be Psyduck until further notice.

Though the mayor has declared that all residents should avoid downtown for the next week so that the police can arrest the armed vigilantes converging on us in peace. 2021 is off to a good start.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. It's SO late. Everyone has seen this coming for miles, because our leaders are useless, and doing The Right Thing when there are no other options left is... *hands*

Yeah, we have Brexited and everything is MARVELLOUS. (I am mildly worries that the sarcasm might break the comment box.)

I fear we are more likely to move onto colour ratings, in which Code Pink is lowest, Code Red is only mildly scary and Code Radioactive Infra-Purple is what everywhere North of Watford gets to be. (Cynic? Moi?)

Same here. And I just discovered that the eldest hasn't seen S1 (goodness knows HOW) so I'll have to stage some sort of intervention... (pun absolutely intended)

I like the Pokemon idea. ;)
Also love your icon. It is very apt.

Kind of a badge of honor, when you think of it. It says: "I stay in and do not endanger my fellow man by going to the salon."
Last night, I actually dreamt about going to a salon.

Can't we all? ;) Although David Tennant had extensions put in before lockdown, whereas Michael Sheen's locks are all his own. (I know too much about these people. But they are so delightful. I think S1 is on Netflix? If so, watch. It's the best lockdown show.)

Definitely.

Was it a covid dream? I've had a few where I'm out and about and no one is social distancing and I get very worried.

I'm sure they'll ship it overseas at... some point.
