I have said it before and I will say it again, it’s insanity.

McConkey will be bittersweet about this.

Not as good as level 6, but he’ll settle for 6 weeks at level 5 as a start

I will avoid Tubridy tonight as if could only be bad for my zen

The new thing for the sheep will be the possibility of a “normal Christmas” now. A bit of critical thinking is beyond the majority of the population

My zen is gone. I’m on google street view here looking at images of places I was going to go on holidays. You can’t lock down my brain HOLOHAN!!

How will the numbers be down mid flu season?

This is idiocy.

If creches stay open at level 5 as seems to be the case, then for all intents and purposes I’m at level 5 already.
Who would be affected? Construction workers? Non essential retail? I’d look at the road map that was delivered to my house yesterday, but there seems to be a few misprints on it because the levels aren’t relating to what it says.

We can’t jeopardize a normal Christmas by selfishly wanting to visit family or friends

Gyms, sports clubs, non-essential retail.

People would want to forget a “normal” Christmas and revert to the original spirit of Christmas. Fake festive cheer in a drunken fog.

I thought some were still open or training

It’s treating the entire populace like children - be good and you’ll get something nice for Christmas

Anyone who wants to go more than 5km past their house or step outside their front door twice a day.

I’m pretty much the same. Life consists of:

  • Crèche drop off and collection;
  • Working from home;
  • Playing with kids & making/eating dinner in that 5pm-7pm window after crèche;
  • Tidying up;
  • Jaunts to the park/playground at weekends;
  • Jogging in the neighbourhood for exercise 3-5 times per week during lunch break;
  • Food shopping twice per week;
  • Daily trip to local cafe for takeaway coffee, sometimes purchasing lunch to avoid monotony of homemade ham and cheese sandwiches;
  • Takeaway dinner delivered once a week as a treat (cc @fenwaypark)
  • Selectively watching live sport on TV;
  • Watching the odd series / news programme at night when kids are asleep;
  • Being active on the INTERNET most of the time.

Why did I bother to list these?

Anyway, the main point is that if crèches close and there’s a toddler marauding around the house during normal working hours then we are fucked.
