I had to go in to the office today; my computer wasn't accepting my Remote Desktop connection, so something was evidently wrong. When I showed up, it turned out a Windows update had gone wrong and my computer had forgotten that it had a hard drive, but a quick reboot solved things, as it usually does. Unfortunately a quick reboot is not something you can do from afar.
I thought it would feel stranger to be out and about in the midst of this supposed "lockdown" but there were still cars on the road (albeit less than usual, making my commute to work much less stressful) and even people out walking for some exercise. There were occasional reminders of what was going on, though: people queueing six feet apart outside Tesco Express just to go in, empty car parks, darkened buildings.
Andie thought she might have caught the virus earlier as she was feeling crappy, coughing a lot and having a bit of difficulty breathing, but realistically there aren't many opportunities that she could have had to pick it up. We suspect that she's having an unfortunately timed cold or perhaps a chest infection; she's asthmatic, so those things also cause a bit of difficulty breathing at times. Nothing serious though; she's fine now, and whatever it is/was doesn't seem to match the symptoms of the virus, but of course we'll be keeping a close eye on things just to be safe.
On that note, it's Friday tomorrow, so a few days of complete "freedom" at home await. With any luck Chris and I will be recording a new MoeGamer Podcast on Saturday, so look forward to that coming up early next week. In the meantime, I'm off to bed!
