Good morning everyone.

Its much cloudier here today but its dry.

I think we'll get out for a walk today while we can. I had planned to nip into a sho see what could gather bdare not do that now otherwise Paul would go loopy. I'm sure we are getting short of milk though .... having a little panic!!!

Our gardens will be pristine the amount of time we'll have free to be in them. 

Good morning everyone.

Its a damp day here today.

We'll be doing some housework!!!!! What fun .

That was good you got everything in your online shop Starry.   I'm waiting to see what I get in mine on Friday. I went in to add some items and the long life milk had been taken off.

Have put this in the Corona Support section, thought i might help people.

How long does food last:

Good morning ladies

Starry how kind of your daughter to go to all that trouble, she's a saint. Pretty shocking to hear all those areas out of the basics. At least some stores now are opening early just for over 70's, that's ok for the mobile ones, but all the housebound folk are still left in a pickle. 

Diane, I know how you feel, i'm the same. And I've been fighting off a mild cold for a couple of weeks or more now, runny nose and tingly up the nostrils, nothing else though. I keep wondering is this is a mild dose of the virus. It's when I get a feverish hot flush like you say, Diane, you wonder if it's the virus.  We'll all be hypochondriacs at this rate come Easter lol 

It's drizzly here today, so can't get outside to do any gardening, had to leave Larry switched off (robomower) he can cut in the rain but I don't want him to get all clogged up with grass clippings so he's off duty til we get a fine day. Let's hope that'll be at the weekend. 

Carol what's Bodmin like? I mean is it partially deserted or are people still going about as normal? 

That friend that took me to hospital is supposed to be coming back to Bodmin this week. I have blocked him on my phone and Whatsapp as he was very nasty to me by txt the other week. He's been in Nottingham socialising and going to pubs and football matches, and not taking any precautions, then said he when he comes back he would come round and help me eat my rations as he's not bothered getting anything in for himself. I said politely I was self isolating and wouldnt be seeing him as he's not been taking any precautions, and he was really really nasty. Saying I would die of the virus before him and no-one would find me, and said he hoped I'd made arrangements for the pets when I die. So I blocked him. If he does come around I won't open the door. He's a nasty horrible person. I know he took me to the hospital but he's usually a very selfish person making use of people, narcisstic, knows better than anyone else and doesnt know anything, enjoys belittleing people, and gets a kick out of making you feel small and knocking your confidence. I did tolerate it as I didnt have anyone else to help in an emergency if I needed it, but now I'd rather struggle on my own than put up with him and get upset, and more importantly risk catching the virus. When I told him I didnt want anything to do with him due to his attitude and nasty remarks he sent a text saying "F**k off then"  So better off without someone like that. 

Good morning everyone. Hope you're all fit and well.

Diane, the troops have been notified but they are only going to be doing jobs like driving ambulances, taking the bodies to the main morgues that have been set up, getting supplies to the elderly and that kind of thing. They won't be patrolling the streets like they do in Italy and other countries. Not unless people are looting shops. There's not much traffic along the main road, I usually hear it if the wind's in the right direction but there's just the odd lorry or motorbike now, and the thrum of the traffic on the A30 is a lot less too. 

I wish Boris would shut the pubs and clubs, the youngsters are taking no notice whatsoever to social distance and still going out and clubbing or drinking in pubs, thinking they're invinsible, when of course they're not. They're putting their own families and hundreds of others at risk. Something needs sorting out about them as they're putting us all at risk. No point anyone staying in if they're going to carry on as normal. pfffft

It's going to be a dry day today so Larry has been switched on and will start his shift cutting the grass at midday. I know he's just a machine, but there's something comforting about him going about his work. lol 

Not sure what I'll be doing today not made my mind up yet.
