300 metres.

Hmm, not all that high, guess I just make assumptions about it being warmer in Catalonia. Or maybe I'm thinking about the areas near the coast where the sea moderates the temperature. Are you far from the coast?

And why are you still up!?!?!

Great recipe, sounds good. All I would add, is a grilled cheese sandwich as a side dish.

Yes!

Consider Death Valley and Redding California. Both places regularly have the hottest temps in the US.

Truckee California regularly has the coldest temperature in the US in the Winter too

I know about those places though if I were ever to visit my cousin in Redding it sure wouldn't be in the summer! Been to DV once, Truckee as well but now we're talking about 50 years ago. Of course all of them are WAY far from Catalonia!

We received that message from our governor a day or two ago. I think they are getting ahead of the president saying the federal government is going to be turning the decision over to a state by state, county by county basis, to be made by the governors. I suspect most governors are going to keep the quarantine on to a great degree until they see a light at the end of the tunnel. I know we are just now starting a 2 week quarantine in Washington, but not different than it has been for the last 2 weeks. All essential services still open.
I think that's part of the thinking when they are saying we wont exist in 12 years.

That's the same here. It was a recommendation, now it's a directive. Ours jumped 20 today to 90 cases.

Yeah, I don't know, Bruce. Things are obviously different in the UK. But I'm sure there are plenty of people in the states that shop consistently and don't stock up. Like Valerie, we do keep a stocked freezer, but we produce our own meat. As far as the rest goes we stock up because town is 20 miles and I hate going

Closing the gate at work tomorrow. Like I said, we're considered an essential service, but I'm getting a lot of not necessarily essential clients. If everyone would respect the shutdown we'd all be in a lot better shape, right? I'm thinking it loud here. And I respect your opinions.
So I'll run parts to people and cross my fingers. Covid is in part of the extended family now. Too damn close. Hopefully they make full recoveries.

Here in NJ we jumped from 4,402 confirmed cases and 62 deaths this morning to 6,876 confirmed cases an 81 deaths this evening. This is the same sort of exponential growth that NY has been seeing.

That's awful, Sour. It's amazing how fast it moves. I know testing is jumping as well, but none of it makes you feel any more secure. Stay safe and healthy, my friend

The state was on recommended 'social distancing' for the past two weeks and almost total shutdown since Sunday, but this virus has been spread around and appears to be readily transmitted. One big thing we have noticed is that folks are getting out and being physically active. We are noticing 'unknown' runners, bikers, and walkers on our rural road. On the way to the park where we walk (perhaps 2 or 3 miles) we passed at least a dozen individuals out walking or jogging. The park although uncrowded was more active than usual. It's an ill storm that brews no good - or something like that. I'm predicting increased birth rate and increased divorces once this mess is resolved.
