You have got to admit, it’s better that all that rain we had a few months ago though 

We've also had beautiful weather...which has just changed, today.

Still here. 

I’m still here too ....and guess what , I’ve been outside in the back garden today I walked the length of the patio with my walker ....got to use that for another two weeks ....but it was so nice to get out at last

Is she ok?

She has an infected toe and sometimes it causes a lot of pain - to the extent that she can't concentrate on anything else. But otherwise she's ok.

Well, THAT sounds painful. Glad she is otherwise OK, though.

Ouch Poor girl

That's a nice way to do it. 

I do the shopping for an at-risk family, and I wind up having lots of text conversations when a substitute product might be required. Takes a lot of time to shop that way.

I write a list but it is general just cheese, ham etc and then as she shops I can be more specific,  I can do the substitution and I pay by transferring money to her account. Both daughters are being brilliant during this lockdown

Awww that’s lovely Machel I’m afraid my daughter is at the sharp end ....she’s a district nurse ....so she’s got her hands full

My eldest daughter is manager of a local coop, she was coughed at by a shoplifter just before the lockdown ,  the staff donated “lunches” to staff at the local hospital (this was the staff not the coop who are good to the local community)

That’s disgusting. If they catch that shoplifter they should sew their mouth up 

Well done to the staff for their generosity of that donation of lunches which I’m sure would have been most welcome  

Today I didn't feel like doing anything much. I wanted to sit outside for a while, but it wasn't warm enough!

i'm dreadful with shopping lists...I seem to do a retail version of going off on a tangent and arrive home with half the list missing.

Did a shop heading home from work this evening - bought a ready meal as a lazy quickie for the weekend -only to find it's film lid smashed when placing it in the fridge.

Our last light bulb went pop

Our gas fire has stopped working

Our cooker knob has snapped off

And my Mum's adapted bed has broken so we can't adjust it

Bulb and cooker knob, yes

Fire and bed - no - cos it means getting people to come in the house
