This afternoon I've recorded my inputs for Sunday's service - it's amazing what you can do with a laptop these days!  OK, so you can hear Sophie's bell jingling, Sasha attacking something on the floor, and even the clock chiming, but overall it's 'not bad.'

Should we need to 'lock down' I am ready.  Should we not, I've had a good rehearsal. Win-win.

Always better to be prepared for something you don't need than not prepared for something you do.

Amidst the information and misinformation, gallows humour and common sense advice, I stumbled across this graphic.

To minimise the overall impact of Corvid19, or any other nasty for that matter, we need to slow down the spread and reduce the number of people infected (at any one time and, ideally, overall)

I like the kitties (obviously) but the message is unchanged from before...

• wash your paws
• don't expose yourself unecessarily to risk of exposure by going to large public events (defined currently as > 5000 people) or travelling if you don't need to.  Be like a cat - avoid crowds
• if you are, or might be, infected, or have had contact with someone who is, then be a house-cat for a couple of weeks
• don't forget to check on neighbours and friends who may be trapped at home - phone, text, email
• don't forget foodbanks still need donations
• Don't hoard

At the moment there is no advice to close church services, but we are checking daily to keep up to date and in the process of determniing what protcols we may need to implement going forward.
