Good morning all from a breezy Glasgow, the bed is stripped and the bedding will be going out on the line. A good drying day, I hope. I love teh smell of washing which has been outside drying.
Day 2, of my incarceration. Being the logical person I am, I have a plan, I always have a plan. The other day I decided to steam clean my range, but my hand held steamer wouldn't work. ?
My new one arrived last night (great excitement) and this house will be gleaming by the end of my lockdown! (Of course it is already! .
So unlike me, I had a wobbly last night and posted on a thread, that I didn't think I would be able to see or hug my wee granddaughter for some time, if ever. She is also unwell just now.
I don't think I have every felt so low, but today is a new day and its NOT raining for once. I may get a stroll around the garden.
Some of you will know I was totally grounded yesterday by a GP. I phoned to update my GP on my reaction to heart new meds, instead of a receptionist, I got the senior partner. He said everyone was off sick, ? and the doctors were manning the phones. All routine appointments are cancelled.
When he said I was in the most vulnerable group, I said my daughter was getting married, he said that I shouldn't worry as he thought everything (weddings, funerals etc) was going to be cancelled anyway. That really cheered me up.
Although I was aware that I was vulnerable, I have always been in denial about it all. I certainly got a bit of a wake up call, as he put the fear of death into me, literally!
Having a very fertile imagination, I assumed the worst. I had the feeling that the doctor knew a lot more that he was letting on. Is this Armageddon?
He was so calm and matter of fact about it all.
As for the wedding, we contacted everyone and said that we wished to keep everyone safe, so most have cancelled, which is the right thing to do.
The venue, have been useless. It is a huge group, who have 130 weddings this year, but we can't get a straight answer from them. That of course is adding to DD's stress.
We are hoping that she can still get married quietly, but even that may not be allowed to happen as the government are changing the advice daily.
It's a wait and see scenario.
I have noticed so many new posters on here, which is great news. Mick, give yourself a huge pat on the back for starting such a lovely thread!
Urmstongran you are in my thoughts, Pantglas, I'm glad to see you are home, (I thought you were trapped in Spain),
Gilly and Mr Gilly, Dragonfly , hugs for you.
Megs55, I hope your DH feels a bit better and sending healing vibes for the so many on here with ill health and sorrow.
Thank you my dear virtual friends for all your support, it is helping.
As usual, I have rambled and wittered on. GN is my coping mechanism ?
