I'll be with you jaypo ..........

I'll sleep rather than do housework 

Today is chilly.  Today is a good chance to do housework   

[jaypo]

Think we'd drive sheila bonkers clkd 

[CLKD]

Nope.  We can wield a bottle surely 

[sheila99]

Not at all jaypo, all volunteers welcome  especially the strange breed who like housework. Unscheduled muck out this morning, THAT WOMAN left the tap on. I wish she'd clear off somewhere else 

[CLKD]

You can keep That Woman ;-).  I don't do housework, I could be at it right now ...........

Lots of Facebook groups are having things for youngsters to do, one is about a giraffe who will be blogging with positives for young 'uns to read   :-)

[jaypo]

I'd like to have chickens again,lovely fresh eggs,I'd also love a couple of pygmy goats.........NO,NOT TO BLOODY WELL EAT CLKD
OH Sheila,I can do mucking out,did it for yeeeeeeears with the horses,great exercise,get the kettle on,I'm on my way 

[CLKD]

Pick me up jaypo ;-)

I'm good with a shovel too.  Cheaper than the Gym too.  Hot bath required after though.

Someone was asking on local facebook for non-shop eggs    ...... now call me picky they obviously aren't aware that our local shop buys from free range farms about 3 miles away  probably still warm when put into the boxes.

The Mustang goes fast clkd,are you ready?

I can't seem to settle to anything.  I knit, crochet, read and sometimes paint but I feel ?on edge?.  usually I crave peace and quiet to do my hobbies but right now I am worried about how my Mum will cope without me visiting so often.  They phoned yesterday and said the GP was prescribing a very low dose of something (can't remember name) so that they can give her some when she gets upset and anxious.  I think that's a good idea. 

I am going tomorrow to take her some lavender soap, shower gel and body spray which she loves (Woods of Windsor) and a lovely purple primrose.  They wouldn't let my brother visit yesterday so he will probably just pop a card through.

It is eerily quiet on the roads here but I have  noticed lots of different faces in the village as people are coming to their second homes to get away from crowded cities.  Trouble is they are buying all the stuff from our local shops.

But that's what the tourist trade needs PF - Wales is complaining about visitors but seem to forget that tourism is what keeps many shops
open  .  Now that everyone has panic bought and your shops are re-filled what's the problem ?

Keeping apart is important.  Not touching others is important.  It is less likely to be transferred by air droplets than by contaminated surfaces.  Eateries should have good cleansing practices anyway.

I'm shocked.....oven cleaning is a man job well at least in this house it is. it's the one job my hubby does well, elbow grease he tells me, crack on darling...enjoy!

Oven cleaning.    ........

Well when watching the Italian Medic on Channel 4 News this evening, who has had the virus ..... she is insistent that people should remain inside unless absolutely necessary.  But she wasn't able to say why they have such a high level of deaths  so in some parts of Italy isolation simply didn't work.  I wonder what the UK Government will suggest tomorrow?  People need sunshine, fresh air, communication with others ...... maybe they have gone out in their droves to support small businesses  : what's the difference to my walking to our village shop to buy the Sat. paper earlier  .  We were out about 20 mins. in all.

The Staff were busy loading shelves, why they didn't do that B4 people arrived - they open at 5.00 to accept the paper deliveries - we spoke to 1 person behind the Till and a lady who kept her distance.  It's those who are carrying the Bug that are the most dangerous which could be any 1 of us.

What are you talking about ?your shops are refilled??   We can't get eggs, sugar, loo rolls, pasta, tea bags etc.    There are people staying in caravans who are like a crowd of locusts in our local shops.  They obviously leave their homes full of tins and packets and frozen food and then come down here and use up all ours!    Norfolk doesn't need them and Cornwall has also asked them to stay away too.  They are coming for purely selfish reasons because since pubs and restaurants are closed so they are not spending money, only on food in shops.

I wouldn't dream of going away from home at a time like this. I've pushed back our UK break to September and can change it again further along should the need arise.

There's a weird sense of people not yet accepting reality and viewing the school closures as an opportunity to have an extended break! Its actually deeply concerning. No-one should be out and about except for quick trips to buy essential goods or walking in open areas.

Australia and America have had to close beaches because of people's complete stupidity acting as though it's life as normal.

Shops round here aren't fully restocked yet by a long stretch. I have NEVER yet seen any hand sanitizer (nor loo rolls or tissues for over a week now).

Same here stellajane. Forgotten what toilet rolls look like.  We have 2 rolls left and then we will be using blue workshop rolls which my OH found in his workshop.  Same with hand sanitiser.

PF I am more worried about they are bringing rather than what they're taking. If you want a way to spread it round the country this is it. If you have enough for a couple of weeks all these d*cks will have worked out they've bought a load of food they're never going to eat and things will go back to normal.
