Good morning all from a damp Glasgow and happy St Patrick's Day, , to all our Irish grans, albeit a very subdued one.
I remember my mother's cousin used to send a box of shamrock every year for us all to wear. You don't see people wearing it much these days.
A very quiet day for me, as I put myself into splendid isolation, apart from medical appointments and the wedding.
Today, I will be contacting all the guests to say that the priority is to keep everyone safe and not to feel bad if they wish to give the wedding a by.
I was most impressed at the dentist yesterday. As soon as I went in, my temperature was taken and I was asked if I had been abroad in the last two weeks or had cough or cold. The whole place was spotless, with no magazines etc in the waiting room. The card machine was broken, so I had to pay with cash. I was then offered sanitiser to wash my hands, after handling the cash.
The dentist said everything had been sanitised and the surgery had never been so clean, Most impressive, especially as the hygienist slipped a face masked into my bag, saying he knew how vulnerable I was and it was difficult to buy masks. ?.
Totally different scenario in Aldi. It was like the end of the world, empty shelves and people being greedy and selfish. Everything was restricted to four of each item. My sister in law was asked to put two yoghurts back, as she had six, which is her usual amount.
What concerned me most, was people picking up fruit and veg , examining it and then putting it back! ?
Best wishes to the Gillybobs, Dragonfly and Ann Sixty, and anyone else, who are feeling particularly vulnerable just now.
Urmonstongran and Pantglas .
So lovely to see Elizabeth1 posting, after her long period of ill health.
Good luck Megs55, for your hospital appointment today.
Have as good a day, as you can!
