    Morning Dove, afternoon Pat  :)
    Lovely looking produce Charlie has grown DD!
    Thanks Lirio. Glad you had a lovely day! X
    OH has just set off to work. Really worried as I've just read that over 100 people were queuing outside  a bar in town at the weekend and the pic showed maybe 12 inches between each off them!
    Hubby works in IT in big open plan warehouse with lots of young folk (which he finds annoying at the best of times!) But I'm really worried! Plus there's a heatwave coming which will set his sickle cell off! 
    I wish we were both 27!  :'(

    Try not to worry too much @WonkyWomble ... he's a sensible chap ... I'm sure he'll take every precaution that you've drummed into him ((hugs)) xx

    It's the other folk that aren't sensible that's the problem Dove xx

    Yes, I know ... but if he keeps his distance ... backs off if they get close, keeps his mask on and sanitises, sanitises and sanitises then he's keeping himself as safe as he can.

    His employers / colleagues should be aware of his condition and should be doing their best to accommodate his vulnerability . Can't they just move some stuff away from his desk or provide him with a temporary work station where he feels safe?

    Yes, that's what they should do ... they did take steps to protect him at the start of all this, so hopefully they're aware of their duties ... if not Wonky and Lovely Hub must remind them

    I hope so Hosta! He knows I worry so he opts to go into as little information as possible.  Doesn't help!
    I get the worrying from my mother! Don't I Dove?  ;)

    Keeping fingers crossed for your hubby @WonkyWomble, these are such worrying times for everyone.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Morning all/afties @Pat E - those look sore  :/
    Hope hubby is ok @WonkyWomble. I've worried about my two every day they're at work, but they're both cautious, and know what to do. If only everyone did the same it would be a lot easier for us all. Youngest told me that a woman confronted an old bloke the other day for having no mask on, and not keeping a distance. She said it was quite funny, but so many people have become very complacent IMO. 
    Shame about the tree @Dovefromabove. We don't seem to have had the dieback here, although I don't know if it's prevalent in any other areas of Scotland. There's hundreds of mature ones round here. The maples/sycamores are all getting their colours round the top edges. I love the way it works in a certain direction. 
    Not sure what the weather is doing today but I have washing on so it had better stay dry. 7 degrees overnight, but not cold just now. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    no, they aren’t sore. Just unsightly. 
    Hope everyone is ok over there.
