We are all doing our bit during this lockdown period - except of course the bastards, cheaters, idiots, drug-dealers, burglars, robbers and other fools who are ignoring the sanctions - but, hopefully, most of us are.
Things seem to be going OK after 3 full days of lockdown but there are worrying reports that the internet may not be able to carry all the extra weight driven by new demands. It could well be that we see broadband slowdown or a complete crash.
This would be a real nuisance for internet users and in particular the readers of this and my other blogs. Providing that there isn't a corresponding electricity crash* here is what you can do to sustain you for the next 100 days (or more) of lockdown:
The Curmudgeons Incⓒ was prescient in setting up the members blogs with a useful 'blog archive' which can be accessed at the right of this screen. This has links to all of the posts over the last 12 years. There are 2,652 THE CURMUDGEON POSTS along with many more of THE CURMUDGEON family posts. In addition you will find, via the useful links nearly a thousand WINE GUY and associated blogs posts.
I suggest that you download all of these to your computer so that if the internet crashes, you will still be able to read and enjoy them in the dark days ahead when you've read all of the old Jack Reacher novels.
*In the event of a complete electricity crash it might be advisable to have printed hard copies of all of the posts in advance.

You know what, I'm going to take my chances.
I'll follow Richard he knows about these things.
OK but don't come crying to me when you're bored from reading that old newspaper dozens of times.
