Ridiculously, mostly working! I work for a HE College and we moved everything to digital delivery (teaching, feedback, student support, staff meetings etc.). Haven't managed less than a 13 hour day so far this week...
Mostly this - currently a web-dev/software engineer (doing a lot of server-side stuff), and the company is a road-safety charity, so a) I can work from home with no issues (apart from an insanely setup VPN*), and b) there's no reduction of work or lack of income to the 'company'.
All these facebook posts about people being bored and wondering what they're going to do for the lockdown.... FUCKING ENJOY IT YOU C****!!!
ahem. sorry. ;)
* truly hatstand.

Only problem is, I don't have much cement and all the DIY sheds are now closed.
You can still do online orders or click and collect from B&Q - probably others too.
They're restricting their offerings to 'essential maintenance' only.
We're doing some decorating here (just painting) and can't buy half the stuff we would like from B&Q or Screwfix because of this.

How far are you intending to strip it down Ian? Swingarm out, engine out? Or just plastics off and a good clean...?

I washed both Groms and the Scrambler today, and I hate washing bikes!

I like looking at a shiny bike, well done.
I hate it when people ask if you have a bathroom, I want to say "No we pee in the garden"

I'm having the tail fairing repaint and new decals, rear shock refurb or a new one. Swing arm off and a small gouge weld filled and polshed. All the exhaust is off just going to have that cleaned as it's ceramic coated and anything else i come across.
