    But you’re down south @Hostafan1 ... and away from our March easterlies 💨 Brrr!

    I won't be here the end of March, leaving on 17th, back here mid April, so it's mid March or mid April to cut them down. Garden is very sheltered and penstemons are growing.

    Man has just been to replace faulty taps on 2 washbasins, thank goodness.

    Moira just got back from the supermarket: no toilet rolls, no tinned tomatoes and no paracetamol [ which is a problem for me, as I take them routinely ]

    Why?  It's madness.

    I bought loo rolls today because we need a new pack.  Plenty on the shelves.  Ditto tissues and also pasta but I bought just enough to replace what we've consumed in the past week and want to cook next week.   No drugs on sale in French SMs so can't say about paracetamol but OH had no bovver getting his anti-gout meds at the pharmacy.

    Loads of dried, tinned and frozen veggies and meals available and a collect going on for RestoduCoeur which collects food and toiletries for food banks.

    Sainsbury's in Bath had some loo rolls left last Thursday but no hand gel, paras or Neurofen. Daughter reports no loo rolls in Exeter either which could be a problem as she's nearly out! Only needs some for next week.
