Are you prepared? Got your emergency grab bag ready?

Did anyone think of face masks or hand sanitiser?

How did he know?

I had hand sanitiser in stock for ages, but then again I did catch swine flu in 2009

Seen your friend lately?

Absolutely not, he's isolating. His granddaughter got a first in law this summer, also had the 'rona, don't think she's been able to see them either.

My old father keeps on about having never seen anything like this, but he lived through the blitz and I've never seen anything like that.

Never needed one. I've never lived in an area prone to wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes, locust swarms, earthquakes, or severe flooding that requires footwear more sturdy than a good pair of wellingtons.

I think I'll keep it that way.

Why no travel sweets?

You're rather relying on the future weather being the same as the past. Some sort of waterproof might be a useful addition to your wardrobe.

A stash of sovereigns sewn into a belt, a silk escape map, and a stiletto up one's sleeve. And that's just for a rough night in Weatherspoons.

I already have a poncho. Bought it for a trip up Snowdon. Weather turned out lovely, so it's only been used once since that holiday.

Looking back I think that's the year I had two really nasty bouts of flu, about a week each time. Never associated it with sf at the time

Likes it in his gnt perhaps

I admire your optimism.

I was working in an educational setting and caught it off a pupil. Felt a bit crook a few days later and they (surprisingly) sent me home. Temperature started going up and up by the next day was 105, a personal record I think, bad chest, aches, like a bad flu. Can't remember much but Tamiflu was delivered and felt better after a few days. Back at work the next week and a huge pile of laundry. The pupil was ill and then diagnosed, unbenounced to me. in retrospect that was why they sent me home and organised the meds.

He's a highly intelligent guy, well into his retirement now, worked in computers all his life. Travelled and worked abroad for extended periods of time. A sponge when it comes to all kinds of theory, and it seems quite accurate in his ideas.

Six weeks though. I wish. .

Got my folding shovel the other day - can't wait to dig a hole and shit in it once basic infrastructure starts to fail.



Note integrated bottle opener for looted Aldi stubbies.

Since buying have likely been profiled as a sad paranoid old man and now get shown ads for 'tactical pens' and mail order bride websites.

I had a lovely folding plastic snow shovel, someone broke it by using it with too much enthusiasm! Grr

 

[NoXion]

I remember snow being a thing. Or was that a dream?
