I read online that in New Zealand their MPs have taken a pay cut, yet our lot are being paid an EXTRA £10K a year to work from home. Might be fake news, but given the "pigs at the trough" mentality of our lot, I'd not be surprised.
Hi not been on for a couple of days, busy on Allotments with the Annual ritual of re-siting the brassica cage ready for this years seedlings. Re lily beetle sorry we only have "finger & thumb" control here too, and we only have fritilaria gave up on Lillys years ago!
Hello everyone. Been out doing the weekly shop this morning, starting with the PO in Luçon to post some home-made masks to Possum. Our local POs are closed but this one is bigger and has automatic machines for weighing small packages and pricing them according to destination and a very nice young man controlling the queue and helping people.
On to SM where I found everything I wanted except yeast - no dry or fresh this time but I still have some fresh left so that's OK. Decided to treat us to a wholemeal baguette with chia seeds to make a bacon butty for lunch.
Had some rain overnight but it's sunny now so I shall potter about and plant the strawberry plants and trailing pelargoniums that landed in my trolley along with 3 teeny yellow pepper plants. I did try the plant shop first but they had too long a queue.
Hugs to @Yviestevie and anyone else feeling lost or helpless. Thank goodness for our gardens. Keep safe everyone.

My mare in France is dying, was cancer after all. A good friend is dealing with it. I feel helpless too. I know she's only a horse but she's been my friend for 21 years, bought her when she was 4.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
