    I know you are @punkdoc ((hugs)) ,Ā  I was lucky ... I had a very good line manager and a couple of great colleagues ... they taught me to protect myself.Ā  It's not too late ... learn to put some stuff in boxes and shut the lid.Ā  Only open the lid when you have the emotional energy to deal with them ... give yourself a limited time to think about those things ... set a real time limit, even set a buzzerĀ Ā ... then shut the lid and go and do something else ... something you enjoy ((hugs)).

    One step at a time @punkdoc.Ā  One day at a time.Ā  Long journeys and small steps and all that.

    It's all very well this being confined to a sofa with a tummy bug bit it's expensive.Ā  Have been noodling online and ordered 3 rhombus patch templates............

    Oh!Ā  Bill Withers had died.Ā  Love his voice and music.

    Oh - that's a shame @Obelixx, although I have to admit, I didn't think he was still alive. Must have been a fair age.Ā 

    No noodles - of any kind... ;)

    Hello everyone. Itā€™s lovely to read all your ups and downs, makes me feel as though Iā€™m sharing with friends. Strange, I know, but we donā€™t socialise much here in the village, although Iā€™ve got some friends in town (25 km away). Ā You all sound very organised with your gardening. Iā€™m in the winding down stage in the garden The weather is really starting to cool down at night. They are predicting snow on the peaks.Ā 

    I did a fortnightā€™s grocery shopping today at Aldi and Coles while Hubby waited in the car away from sneezing and coughing. (I donā€™t know what his immune system is like after last yearā€™s chemotherapy.). Still no loo rolls, flour nor pasta, but we donā€™t need them yet, so no worries there. I was very pleased to see people keeping a good distance from each other.

    Managed to get a script filled for Hubby, so thatā€™s good. Our Pharmacist knows his situation, so she didnā€™t keep us waiting for long even though she had a long list of others to fill. So nice to have caring people looking after us.Ā 

    Weā€™ve been watching the UK Voice, and itā€™s getting close to the finals, but Hubby read somewhere that they are going to delay the finals because of the virus. šŸ¤¬ Ā Iā€™ll have forgotten who is who by the time it gets done.Ā 

    Itā€™s well past bed time here, so night, night all. Best wishes to everyone.Ā

    Afternoon. Had a few hours out in the garden. Nice to wash hands for the reason of mud rather than germs, for a change.Ā 

    Hope you are all ok.Ā 
    My garden and I live in South Wales.Ā

    I don't know if anyone else has seen the news tonight, but the item on the newly graduating medical students had me laughing and crying in equal measure. They had to make mortar boards out of cardboard, and and fashion makeshift gowns [ a few Harry Potter ones too I think!] and do it all by proxy, but how wonderfulĀ  to see them and their proud parents.
    They're being fast tracked to help with the current crisis. Bless the whole lot of them.

    I hope all the people on here moaning about bloody compost are listening.Ā
