I find it quite remarkable that all of us were experiending it at the same time, in a way we haven't for a very long time (since the last world war?).

I'm not really dreading quarantine, to be honest. As I said to Jamie, expect nothing good or bad and we can deal with whatever comes as and when, and I'm sure we'll adapt. Just was in personal touch with a friend of a friend there, and you can have care boxes so at least I wont have to rely on icky food, but even then, it mightn't be so bad. Not getting too bound up in it - it's just a story after all. I've had a lot of time to prepare for it - imagine what it would have been like for those who didn't know because they were mid flight when the rules were made!!!
