School's ordered closed Pool open

Kids started to arrive promptly at noon. I was surprised by the fact that it was Friday. These early pool visits only happen on weekends, not during the week. I didn't ask, it was obvious schools were closed.

I quickly jumped in and vacuum'd the pool.  Pool temperature was lukewarm, not very refreshing. I ordered eight bags of ice to be added to the pool ฿360. I would have preferred ice blocks, none available.  They would have been more effective. 

I'm expecting a pool party of sort today, Saturday.  I hope  the 'not more than 5 person gathering rule does not apply.

The only coup irritant I experience personally is the blocking of entertainment TV. Fortunately internet services continue to function.
Extensive monitoring  of internet postings is to be expected.

Apparently some TV stations are back in operation since last night.
Local cable company is totally shut down... nothing but screen snow.
Quite a few stations seem to be broadcasting Television on the Net

Only problem of watching TV on the computer, the office chair is not suited for lounging.  I have a sore ribcage from falling over.

The public gathering rule of no more than five persons appears to not apply to shopping, restaurants and bars.
