Good morning everyone. 

The sun is out ... was out ... I should say. 

A quiet day on the cards here. I've got a delivery from Argos coming today that I eventually managed to put through. I could have come yesterday if I'd got the order in. I didn't realise they delivered so quickly. 

Glad your hand is improving slightly Hazel. 

Evening ladies. 

We have 5 cases now in Cornwall, but no-one knows exactly where and the council won't say, which is stupid, because everyone needs to know so they can avoid the area affected. 

Starry I hope your mum's chemo went smoothly. 

The GP's are telling people to cancel or rearrange any non urgent appointments for over 60's down here so maybe they're being to the same up where you are but no-one's informing the hospital departments. communication nowadays isn't good. 

I'm wondering whether to cancel my CT scan in two weeks, it was booked as non urgent. If it were important then I would definately go but not sure now what to do. 

Haven't done much today, my wrist is improving slowly but still painful. I'm still waiting on the heating being repaired, I rang housing today and they said it's still with their gas team (the heating isnt gas but the gas team deal with all systems) So the woman I spoke to said she'd email them and get it noted as urgent. I won't hold my breath. 

Good morning everyone.

Its wet and windy here.

Sue and I are going out for lunch today for a little escape.

Good mornin ladies. 

It's been raining overnight but not now thank goodness. My lawn has several long clumps of grass and really needs cutting but the ground is just too boggy at the moment. Poor little Dora has to be rubbed dry when she comes in as she's only got little short legs so her tummy gets soaking wet bless her. 

Thank you for asking Starry, it has got a lot better thank you. Its only really painful now if I make a sort of rotating movement with it which is great. I've got lots of plants to pot up, my blueberries, and my 3 rhubarb crowns arrived yesterday, so I really need to get it better enough to mix up my compost and get them all in their containers. 

My little chest freezer arrives this morning, and my big asda order tomorrow, that's if they've got most of the food I've ordered. I dont need any antibac cleaning stuff or toilet rolls and most of the order is frozen fruit and veg so hopefully there won't be too many subs. I've also ordered another 2 packs of 16 paracetamol. They will only let you have 2 at a time. So I've been getting them for the last couple of weeks.

To say I'm not frightened about this virus would be silly, because I am very frightened. So I'll be glad when the men have dropped the freezer off. On Friday the heating engineer is coming at long last to fix my heating, which I'm quite nervous about. He must have been in quite a few people's homes the last couple of weeks and we have 5 cases of the virus in Cornwall, so I will ask him to wash his hands when he arrives, and if my masks are here in time, I'll give him one of those to wear. They do help a little, despite what the government tell us. Because if they were no help then doctors and nurses wouldn't wear them. 

I've made a new section in here called Corona Support as I noticed many other forums and online communities have done the same, and they do seem to serve a purpose of giving support and help at the present time. 

Keep safe everyone. xx

Good afternoon all. Glad your wrist is a bit better Hazel. If you strap it up you might be able to do a little bit of planting..  Starry we came down on Saturday and the van was fine, The condensation traps needed emptying and refilling. One of the chairs in the garden had blown over but that was all. We had a lovely roast dinner at Splits and Gordon did a bit of shopping. Unfortunately he left the meat and sausages in Chris's. We had  to go back today  to collect it it had been frozen. Had yet another meal at Splits and then  home. Neither of us are feeling great. I have a monster sore throat and my back is troubling me and I'm finding walking difficult.   Gordon has spondylitis and jarred his neck several times and he's in a lot of pain. So we are a right pair.  We were going out to a hotel for a celebratory meal tomorrow but neither of us feel up to it. Gordon's going to cancel and we'll celebrate later. Diane enjoy your WI meeting.
