I did read somewhere that there may be a shortage of loo rolls (seriously !) due to you-know-what and l fully expected to find the shelves cleared in the supermarket, but obviously word hasn't reached this neck of the woods yet. Or maybe everyone is made of tough stuff around here and they are already ripping up sheets of newspaper to hang on rusty nails.
I'd be more worried about price and availability of perishables like salad leaves and veggies and start sowing some to bridge the possible gap if things go pear-shaped.
I need a grump about beds. Need a new one. Don't want a bedhead, just base, mattress and underneath storage. Why is that so hard to find without some eejit trying to blind me with science about back support? I know, I've got a spine - and then they talk to me about colours for the base. Who cares? The base won't be seen.

Well, this is for our new downstairs bedroom so, for the time being, our old one will stay upstairs as a spare bed till Possum finishes her studies and brings her bed home. After that, we'll load it in the car and take it to the recycling centre. One day, she'll set up her own home and take her bed and stuff with her so we'll have to start again with a new bed...........

The baby did not sleep well last night. I put him down at about 5:30 after sitting up with him since 4. Then 5 minutes later a large lorry arrived to collect a digger that they've been using next door and they spent 20 minutes revving and banging around getting it loaded while shouting instructions over the noise. They must have woken the entire street
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
My daughter hardly slept when she was young, someone said to me that when she was three she would sleep, and, exactly after her third birthday, she did! Have you tried putting a cd on by the cot, I bought some gentle romantic classics for my grandson who had a very traumatic birth and didn’t sleep well. Babies always sleep better when there’s constant noise going on. My friend used to play heavy metal music, loudly and he would sleep through anything. Not good for the rest of the family though at 4am!

Is it terminal or will it recover? Lovely to shed weight isn't it, whether blubbery or the worrying kind?
We have a robot cleaner. It has dies, cleverly just within its guarantee so has been sent off for treatment. The curmudgeonly bit is that my lovely Miele died just before Xmas and that leaves us with just the bloody Dyson.

My Dyson is destined to go the way of my George Foreman grill which is somewhere in th attic along with dead computers ,a feeble pressure washer and other items of c**p technology. I bought a reasonably cheapo cordless vac whizzy whizz and it's done. No more hauling the Dyson round the house.
Slightly curmudgeonly this morning as there is a beautiful bright full moon. Lovely though it is, why couldn't l see it yesterday when it was super wolfy blood coloured ?

The ones I see left out for collection look better than mine. How embarrassing
