Good afternoon. Weekly SM raid done but using the scenic route. All the rain flooding local rivers plus the recent spate of very high tides have closed the main road to Luçon so we had to go a long way round. The only thing in short supply was soap refills for my liquid soap dispensers but they had the ones I needed. I don't get on with bar soap. Makes my hands itchy.
Announcement on the radio is that parents of children under 16 can claim statutory sick pay as of Monday which will help with child care during the closures. I still don't know if my patch and mosaic activities can go ahead or have to be cancelled. Not worried for me but don't want to be passing things on to the less robust. Public transport still OK, so far.
It's sunny with cloudy bits. No rain expected. We might start to dry out enough to do some gardening then! Can't spend the next 2 weeks all indoors. That way lies madness, or at least a lot of grumping.
Hope everyone is well and being sensible. Stay safe.

Hi everyone, just checking in volunteer day at Capel yesterday, only did morning then went to plots to try digging, still very sticky. @punkdoc I have tried to stay off the Corvid 19 thread but have been reading most of it, just to let you know I am with you -one of the few sane voices on there.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
im weary today. We went for a longish drive instead of shopping in town today, so I’m reading a novel.
