The dark.......

A few years ago me and the Wife set off on a drive to France for a holiday, with our final destination being Honfleur,down towards Le Havre.The first night we'd booked into a cottage on a farm somewhere in northern France and eventually found it after much searching,in the "middle of nowhere", just in time for dinner at the  farm-house.
We went up to our cottage afterwards and after a while both felt tired enough from the drive for bed.
The Wife had her bed side lamp on and both of us got in bed and read some pages of our books.I'd obviously quite quickly fallen asleep and woke again in what I assumed to be the middle of the night.I opened my eyes and everything was completely black,I couldn't see anything whatsoever.
In a panic I sat up on the edge of the bed and shouted "I'VE GONE BLIND!"....."I CAN'T SEE!"....."I'VE GONE BLIND!!!"
With that the Wife's bedside lamp came on and she shouted "WHAT'S THE MATTER?"...to which I then replied..."nothing!".........

Our local Town is empty of people,almost all shops and businesses are shut and every day seems like a Sunday. Most of us now have more time on our hands than ever before and most people aren't making any money at t...
