    Very grey and miserable day here, but managed to sow a few more seeds and there are lots of seedlings appearing on various window sills.

    Sorry about fairylet, surely now, more than ever, people need to try to be kind.

    Moira found massive shortages of everything at the S/M today, Sainsburys may say they can cope, but they are not doing a very good job in Sheffield.
    How can you lie there and think of England

    Future son in law was in Asda and shouted at " an older couple" who were basically buying every pack of nappies, all different sizes and ages, so unless they run an orphanage, they were not buying for themselves.  Others joined in and they did put some back on the shelves.

    I've just heard on the radio news that key workers include NHS staff, police, and delivery drivers . Check me out the Key worker.  o:)

    @Hostafan1.  You and your colleagues are about to become a vital link for many.  Are there any plans to recruit more of you on a temporary basis I wonder?
    That’s wot I said 😀😀😀😀. Definitely a key worker 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    Sorry , I missed your earlier comment. No new drivers as we can't get any new vans, or change the website to allow more routes ( techy stuff, over my head )

    I just wondered if the same vans could be used for longer hours if there were more drivers?  Making the most of the assets we already have so to speak?  I’m sure they’re considering all the options 🤞🏻

    Get you  ;)
    I'd like to think my two girls are possibly key workers. Putting up with the even more unpleasant  'great unwashed', along with all the other supermarket and shop staff. 
    Thanks @punkdoc and @Hostafan1 for your kindness re fairylet too.  :)
    I'm not surprised to hear that about the people with the nappies. Isn't it ironic that we now have all these companies selling 'posh' towelling ones, but some folk don't seem to have twigged yet. Doesn't excuse that behaviour anyway.
    One of the managers in fairylet's work has a daughter about to give birth. She's had some problems in her pregnancy and her mum is naturally very concerned, especially as she thinks she might not be able to breast feed and there seems to have been a lot of milk hoarding too. I said to tell her that I'm sure there won't be a problem in the hospital she's going in. I assume I'm right in that...
    I hope all these hoarding people are proud of themselves. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
