Well done you, @Fairygirl. Have spent a couple of hours on the phone, discussing various bits of the NHS response to COVID, I am sure I shouldn't say this, but it felt good to feel useful, but I am doing no more than phone calls and luckily mobile phones don't work here, so they can't speak to me when I am in the garden. "What do you mean, you were gardening at 22.00?"
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

I'm normally in bed at 22.00. I'd be livid if anyone called me then. ( unless it's my daughter telling me our Grandson has arrived , which he hasn't yet )
Middle daughter and family are having to self isolate as her children have coughs. Her husband has had to look after the children all day as she has said that she has had her head down all day, trying to get all the online maths resources set up for schools before they close. She said her brain is zonked.
Very exciting @Hostafan1. Are you all geared up to be cooing and ahh-ingĀ I hope everything is ok, bearing in mind the current situation. I used to garden at 10pm too, when the girls were little. It was a chance to get plenty done while they were asleepĀ I'm not always in bed at that time now, but I'm often asleep.... Older fairylet was fine today, but was informing me of the phone call a manager got. A rude woman who thought she should get preferential treatment over others re delivered goods. When it was explained to her that the home deliveries had increased due to the current problems, and the [small] delays were to make it fairer for the increased demand, she said she didn't care about anyone else. Let's just say, the word 'entitled' springs to mind. I don't know how the manager restrained herself.Ā I live near a place called Newton Mearns, and years ago, when I told a friend I called these types the Gucci Women, she said she calls them theĀ Mearns B*tches. How appropriate, and frankly, far too polite.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I've got 'do not disturb' set on my phone from 10pm to 7am. You can ring me if you want I'll not hear it. I can set it up to only ring for specific incoming numbers - I used to have my Dad's as the exception - but these days, there isn't anyone that might call who can't wait til morning.

I have the same @raisingirl ... mineās set for 9pm - 8am ... we do have a landline and family have that number in case there was a real emergency ... but to be honest, now Iām an orphan š and both my offspring are in their forties and the stepchildren are grownup too, I donāt think thereās anyone who would haveĀ a justifiable reason to wake me š” šĀ
