It looks like those of us in our dotage will shortly have to spend a long time in isolation. If that happens, thank the gods for having a hobby like this one - and a stash of loads of unbuilt kits. Being the perennial optimist I can certainly see the upside. I also believe (and have the poster to prove it) that God (whoever she may be) put me on this earth to complete a certain number of projects and right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die. I suspect that it's one of the reasons for the shut down - maybe I will reach the bottom of the pile.
There's a down side too, of course. I may have to miss the Doncaster GOG show and I enjoy making an exhibition of myself, but (possibly) needs must.
I'm not pretending that the current situation is funny or even mildly amusing. I'm actually taking this opportunity to tell all my fellow modellers, their families and friends to take care and employ the sensible precautions.
