Hello all, Cooler and wet here after being woken up early am with a very loud thunderclap right overhead. Fortunately it's a nice steady drizzle now which will be good for the garden. @Hostafan1, I wonder if it would help your OH if you wrote down how to work the videos and the right buttons to press? Just a thought. It's a shame he has to isolate for 14 days, that is excessive IMO, if it's 10 days for everybody else. Are you still allowed in? @Punkdoc, sympathies to you and Moira. Is there no other family member closer who could help? Trains /taxis might be the easier option for you or breaking up the long car journey by staying overnight somewhere? Some good pickings there @Busy-Lizzie but can't help with the plant squeeze!
Put jeans on and a cotton cardi at 9 last night to walk the dogs,was Ok in the breeze,had to change as soon as I got home. It's 27c outside at the moment. I couldn't sleep I was so hot even with the cooler panned on me,hands were playing up as well
Seems odd to me too especially as he came from a secure ward in hospital . I'm expected to wear a gown, gloves and a mask even whilst in his room. hey ho. we all have to do our bit. Took a small TV over today, and guess what? The aerial isn't working in the room. No TV, and no wifi isn't great. I'm glad I'm not paying for this.
That's bad luck @Hostafan1 , there were TVs in all the rooms in my Mum's home, same for OH's aunt and SIL. Can't the home arrange something? What do they expect their guests to do all day in isolation?
I was going to plant the new plants and do some weeding, just can't get up the energy. I've been drawing plans of the flower beds and writing in the plants.

Can you rent or borrow a DVD player and some DVDs @Hostafan1? Agree 14 days seems excessive. I thought you were both jabbed too so maybe 7 days.
Sorry about Moira's mum @punkdc and hope BIL does the trick. Stressful all round and for her mum too.
Other than some of the stalls at the covered markets in les Sables I have yet to find a farmers' market here @Busy-Lizzie but they do have good meat and veg when I go so it's OK. Not that I've been in the last year or course. Hope the plants have found a home.
We have had more rain this pm and I've been catching up on sleep so no weeding done yet. Mid 20s so not cold but I shall put jeans on as there be nettles along the fence where I have the dahlia and squashes patch.

He's got a laptop and lots of DVDs but struggles a bit to play them. memory issues , and he's too stubborn to ring and ask for help
Can you have a word with the nurses/carers who can help him with starting it up? Think that’s a basic thing for them to do if they can’t provide a working TV.

He lives in Scotland, but works down south and has managed to take a few days off, so he is going to go to join Moira.

Great news @punkdoc, must be a relief.
