We've got gammon as well, Tesco's finest shanks! Not tried them before. Only joint they had in stock on Thursday morning, no beef or lamb. Must be because it's only a Tesco Express. Could kick myself as I didn't realize they were part of a 'Meal Deal'? so could have picked up a dessert & wine for not much more!
That's really, really tough for Possum @Obelixx, no wonder she's throwing paddies, I think I would be too. Could she try to smuggle a cat in from somewhere perhaps or do some volunteering? Pastoral help from her Uni? I expect though you've already thought of any positives.
I though my daughter was throwing a big wobbly again but have managed to talk to her today. She was down because her friend and close neighbour had died of kidney disease on Wednesday, not unexpected but still a shock, she had only recently retired and now of course her husband is all alone in the house - grim. Life can be such a b----r.
Oh @Lizzie27, that's a horrible situation too. No matter how much something is expected, it doesn't make it easier to deal with. The poor man too. Hope chicklet is ok. @chicky has had such a lot to deal with in the last couple of years. @Obelixx - that's how my oldest deals with her stress. After that 'incident' at work a few weeks ago, with the horrible woman, she slept nearly the whole of the next day. I'm just glad I have them both at home with me, and I can help them when these moments hit.
I'm so lucky - everyone is my family is fine - so far, including my sister and all her children & grandchildren. I just wish some people would understand the seriousness of this virus, and not think there's some magic potion that will make it disappear. Hopefully, the figures they talked about today are a wee bit promising in that they've been lower. Nothing to get joyous about of course, but a little glimmer of light perhaps. I think I'm the only person on this forum that loathes lamb. It smells the same alive as it does cooked.... I like it best like this
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
When she's wet, Rasta doggy smells like a wet woolly sheep and nothing like roast lamb @Fairygirl!
Glad your family is OK so far. OH's lot seem OK tho senior SIL is finding it hard being confined to barracks. Desperate to get BIL to cut the grass but he's discovered jigsaws online.......
That is so sad @Lizzie and I suspect there are many more in the same boat.
Glad the @Hostafan1 shoot is home safe. Possum was born on the outer curve for Belgian baby boys and stayed there or exceeded it for the 30 months she was followed by the Office National de l'Enfance whose nurse accused me of making full fat double cream and not milk. She was the only one in our village not bottle fed by 3 months.

My 2nd daughter (the one we called Possum too) behaved the same way, going to sleep when stressed. She had nooky places she would sleep in in our rambly old Tudor farmhouse which OH called "Possum Holes". She was also a large breast fed baby, but now she is tall and slender with 3 children of her own.
That is sad @Lizzie27, the husband of one of my friends died in January.
I've been planting in the garden, 2 clematis, 3 perennials and a climbing rose.
We are having chicken breast marinated in Tandoori paste and Greek yoghurt with salad and hash browns.
Morrisons delivery this afternoon, first home delivery I've managed to get, the one before was click and collect and so will be the next one in 2 weeks time. But there were several items missing, including most of the fish. No plain flour.

All the positives vibes have worked so far - thanks folks. She is now minus one appendix, back on the ward and sleeping. Think that’s the best plan. I spoke to her nurse earlier who said Dr would see her tomorrow and maybe even discharge her then. It was keyhole, so no big wound, but general anaesthetic is no fun and takes some getting over. She is still working (albeit at home .....ie not furloughed) so I hope her company understand and let her have a good few days to recover - they have been very compassionate so far, so not anticipating any problems (except for maybe having to chain her to her bed and confiscate her laptop and her phone 🙄)
Sending the patient medicinal and therapeutic jelly and ice cream for when she’s up to it @chicky ... Pa said it helped him when he was poorly ... and hugs for all of you 🤗

The flour shortage was a bit of a surprise to me (and horrifying to MIL). I managed to get some on Saturday, but there wasn’t much there. I can’t help thinking that there are thousands of people who panic-bought flour but have no clue what to do with it 😡.
That's good news @Chicky - I expect she'll bounce back quite quickly once she wakes up in the morning - I know I did (much to my surprise) after quite a big gynae op a year or 2 ago. Modern anaesthetics are so much better than they used to be and the medics don't keep you under for long.
