Afternoon everyone 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️ Didn't sleep that well during the night, then woke up at 6, went downstairs for a drink of water.....bsck to bed and then woke up at 10.00!!! OH had a letter from the NHS this morning, because of his cancer and being high risk, neither of us are allowed out at all for 12 weeks. We even have to stay away from each other as much as possible.......separate bedrooms......... and bathrooms if possible and not use the kitchen at the same time😕😕 Thank goodness for the garden
Afties SGL, that is very tough on the pair of you but you have been through so much already that those twelve weeks will seem a bit of a doddle. I'm glad to see the 'verse' back again - it is SO you!
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
We missed your blank verse SGL😂 Amazing how often it scans rather well!
I do hope you don't find the self isolation too difficult. It's a lot to cope with mentally. Isn't it funny how, as soon as somebody says you can't do something you immediately want to do it? We rarely go to the pub but I'm itching to go just now.
Just been to W'rose. The roads are eerily quiet apart from the trucks - it's like 4am on a Sunday morning. Had to queue to get in the store (only about 10 mins and only 10 of us in the queue). The actual shopping was remarkably painless. Only 25 or so customers allowed in the store and the shelves were relatively well stocked - even if some of the products were different brands. Even managed to get a bag of rice (we eat a LOT of rice) and a pac of 16 loo rolls! Was just starting to worry about the latter as I've just opened the last pac and haven't seen any for 2 weeks. Plenty available today. No eggs or chicken but not desperate for either.
Everyone was remarkably upbeat and smiling, saying hello, respecting the 2m rule etc etc. All in all quite a pleasant experience and I shouldn't need to go again for a week - maybe longer. We'll need milk in a few days but they sell that at the co-op and the local farm stall has nice bread and veg.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Lily take care although it is difficult self isolating. I hope you both feel better soon and hope you can get some sleep tonight one day at a time. Hazel you and oh seem to have had a productive day in the sunshine. I’ve just been pottering this afternoon and washed my hair. We are awaiting a food delivery lots missing from final confirmation but it seems the same all over, again no loo rolls. Went for a short walk observing the 2m rule, only saw one other.
Good night Chive. See you tomorrow. I've had a good time in the garden today - only got stung by one nettle and snagged by one bramble. I rescued a ginormous bumbly bee out of the garage, saw two butterflies that were too quick for me to identify them though one was red and the other white, chatted to my neighbour in the garden next door - 4m between us - and I was scrutinised by Lily as I tidied up the dead plant stems from last year. She just sat sunbathing. I am now pooped and enjoying a sit down.

Good evening . It has been a super gardening day. Got lots done. Untied my banana plant . It’s a bit raggedy but very much alive . We have a few wasps and I saw a couple of butterflies too . Grocery order came . No tea ,no loo roles . I have managed to source them elsewhere . Lily having to take such extreme steps I guess is necessary . You will get used to it .Its hard
to remember what not to do . But it will become habit .I do hope that circumstances change in the not too distant future and we can all get back to normal . Hazel it’s so lovely to have some time in the garden isn’t it ? Chey it’s so exciting to see seedlings peep through the soil . LB I am hoping to get into the garden tomorrow . I guess you will be hoping to do the same .Chive your mum will be so pleased that you are shopping for her.
