I really love your collection!! I didn’t know that was an LV until I saw your list.
What exactly does community quarantine mean, where you live? Do you have to stay indoors, in your own residence? Avoid crowds? Not go in to work?
Stay safe, my friend.
A lot of us are confused as well about the scope of the community quarantine. There are supposed to be no entry/egress in Metro Manila (MM) - land and domestic sea and air travels, BUT we heard there will still be domestic plane trips. So how is that? On a daily basis, people who work in MM but who live outside the boundaries will still be allowed in if they show proof of work inside.

All classes are suspended. Work in government offices will be on skeletal force. Work from home is allowed. For private companies, they are encouraged to adopt their schemes as well.

We start with the lockdown 00:01 of March 15, until April 12. Personally, I will try to work from home as much as practicable and just go to the office when I physically need to sign documents.
 
My personal theory: toilet paper is more a symptom of panic than a rational response. People watch the news, see crowds filling their carts with TP, think "OMG… what if the entire world runs out of TP???" and then off they go to Costco. And then (and I'm just guessing here, I'm not an actual psychiatrist) once they bring their TP home, and tuck it away in their cupboard, they feel a little more secure.

This is a very good analysis! A good stock of TP makes one feel secure for sure- I mean it guarantees personal decency, too, not running out of the stuff, being unable to leave the house to buy any and having to use old newspapers or washcloths while already feeling awful. The world might go down, but we can use 4 layered until the very end.
 
I´d be regretting not having tried to get my hands on it. Still today is Friday 13th which makes me extra nervous about doing something as daring and crazy on top.

update: my offer was accepted. I bought a bag! Now to make up my mind whether I´ll tell DH (I´ve been wondering what exactly this stands for and from context now assume it´s dear husband and not anything frequently used in the youtube trash my boy watches) what I spent or not... it´s my money. I´m not taking away from him or the child.

Your blue collection is beautiful! I especially adore the Gucci wallet.
 
These are such treasures! I don't think any bags in this shade of blue are being made any more. :heart: :heart: :heart:
Thank-you! When taking the photo I realized they all have a special shade of blue. Honestly I don´t know anything about recent blue bags except for what I see on here. Blue normally isn´t a colour that attracts me, so I actually had to hunt for the leather bag and clutch when I thought I needed them for special outfits. The big 60ies vinyl bag I bought as "black, real leather"... haha... that much for buying from fuzzy pictures on ebay. But it´s a nice bag and unlike the other two actually was worn several times. The colour perfectly matches a 60ies dress I have and though it only is vinyl it does not look cheap in combination with a good dress, shoes, gloves.
 
Not poor me- at least so far my family is healthy and hopefully yours is, too!
It´s not the time to put personal frustration first, but being human plans that don´t work out always make one sad. I don´t know where you are. I am in Germany and the situation is getting worse by the day. They are considering to close all schools, now, for example.
Yes we are currently healthy although have been in contact with people who are isolating due to being in contact with others at work. Very second hand. I’m in the UK. It’s increasing here too like everywhere else. Think we are slightly behind some of the other European countries and government response a bit different. No school closures yet but it’s all we are talking about. Have cancelled our holiday. Stocking up on board games, jigsaws and colouring books/pencils to see my family through as well as grocery basics. Stay healthy and positive.
 
Earlier on TV, a government official for Metro Manila said they will ask the malls to close for the duration of the quarantine, except for supermarkets/groceries and pharmacies inside the malls. He went on further to say that at a time like this, no one will shop for new clothes nor shoes anyway. Immediately, an image of tpf flashed on my mind!! :biggrin: But seriously, I am getting nervous by the day as new cases are confirmed.

These are wonderful. Those dark blues are so lovely (did @Cookiefiend say I am a navy girl - I think you're right!).

It's just that times are so uncertain, and we have so very little control, we all want to do something (ANYTHING!) to feel as though we're in charge.

I can understand why you're worried for your DS. But I'm glad that he has humor on his side. (And, of course, loving parents.)
I think you're right about TP being a symptom of panic. Here it is also bottled water. People are buying in ridiculous amounts and hoarding. Hello -- if you are stuck at home your tap is still going to function, right? Well, I learned that many of my friends drink bottled water all the time! So irresponsible. How about installing a filter on your tap? Or getting a Brita filter/pitcher?

My online grocery shopping just arrived. Seems I’ve been panic buying cat food without even realising. Have enough for over a month now for our two furry feline friends. :cat: :cat:
