So lockdown mark II has started today, until the 2nd of December, allegedly, although rules are a bit different from mark I. Some differences: you can meet up with ONE person from a different household, providing it is outside, for example on the beach or in a park (plus you may have a child with you, if not at school); oh yes, and children and young adults are remaining at school/college/university (I shan't go on about how I feel about that here); dentists and opticians are remaining open; there is no formal shielding; public toilets should remain open; BBC for more information.
There are many similarities, pubs and restaurants are closed, but takeaway and deliveries of food alcohol are allowed. I've seen that most takeaways, eg many McDonald's, KFC etc are staying open, but not for sitting in. Hairdressers will be closed; libraries will be closed (although they hope to organise a click & collect service from Monday); Household Waste Sites will remain open; the Registry Office will be closed, but birth and death registrations can be arranged by telephone and appointments. And exercising is allowed, but not limited; so that's me walking the miles again daily.
Please be careful folks and remember social distancing, face coverings where appropriate, and wash your hands regularly, look after yourselves!
