April, May, June leads to the peak, or so they have predicted, in the UK atleast. It could go on longer?
Nature at work, without a thought for money
Sure it is no laughing matter. The situation is out of human hands.. It is a sit-it-out situation, and hope for the best.
Summer's ruined.

Out and out selfish retarded behavior.

Definitely. Except for essential services like healthcare and grocery stores, everyone should be home.

Even a few weeks of this can lead to an economic depression. Either there will be massive trillions in bailouts or the death and misery of the fall out will be staggering. The knock on effect will hit just about everyone.

Worked my final shift tonight. Due to new rules caused by the Coroavirus/Government, the company has to close until further notice. It might re open in 1 month. 3 months closure is more realistic. It could be worse, it could be 6 months or more?

One thing is for sure. I cannot pre_order anything

I cannot go to the pub either, as they have been ordered to close by 12 o'clock midnight tonight.

I can see myself re watching my movie collection, watching YouTube, returning to games i'd given up on, re arranging my statue collection, and pondering life in general. It's not like i can go on holiday, as most flights are grounded, and most places would not allow entry.

Oh well..

I have Prime 1 Alita and her sword from Weta on pre-order. Neither is paid yet. All other pre-order are paid.
I won't cancel the pre-order for the time being, but I won't make any new ones either.

Just wait and see what comes up to us.

I have:

1x HMO piece on pre_order. Paid in full. Shipping + Import still to cover.

2x Prime1 1/4 pieces. Deposit paid.

1x XM Studios piece. Deposit paid.

3x Hot Toys. All payments made. Final payments waiting (once Hot Toys have them to ship to Sideshow to ship to me).

For the moment, no new pre_orders from me. It's as simple as.

There is the option to sell stuff. I don't tend to sell stuff

I am hoping to still be paid for the time being.
The UK Government has offered to pay 80% of monthly wage packet. Time will tell on that one.

While Coronavirus case increase with each new day, the level of increase feels like a Coronavirus tsunami is on it's way and about to engulf the UK

Yes, these are not easy times. Who would have thought that 2020 would be such a bad year.


We are a small team in the office and have now split into two teams. One team works in the office and the other in home office. It is changed weekly.
If one of a team falls ill with Corona, the entire office does not have to be closed because the other team is still healthy.
Social / personal contact between the teams is of course prohibited.
Hope we get through the whole thing.

Stay healthy
