Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, we are a busy wee thread this morning. What would we all be doing if we didn't have Gransnet?.
Mick, that's a bit worrying your sore throat and losing weight. Remember Mick, if you are taking Lemsip, don't take paracetamol at the same time.
I had a long conversation last night with my friend, who buried her son last week. One of her line dancing friends is seriously ill in hospital with Covid 19 and she has recently been in contact with this woman.
They were all on a weekend away 10 days ago and people with them are now all self isolating. It's so worrying. The strangest thing is that this lady collapsed in the street with stomach pains, it has affected her stomach and not her lungs.
Yesterday I did a batch cooking to use up things from the fridge and some baking, but there is no-one to eat it, but DH and I. I will soon be the size of a house!
I'm ashamed to admit, that I may have found the source of Covid 19 in my fridge. .
It was very full (DGD'S yoghurts, Cheesy strings etc) and I jus kept t trying to cram everything in. My hands were so painful, I couldn't face tidying it.
I totally emptied it, as DGD hasn't been here for weeks, so some things were past their sell by date.
I was mortified to find a spot at the back, where something had spilled and there was a spot of something unidentifiable and sinister lurking there.?
I am hanging my head in shame! ?
The fridge has been scrubbed and disinfected to an inch of it's life and is pristine clean again.
My future SIL appeared with my prescriptions, he left them on the door step and swapped them for a care package for my daughter, comprising all the items which were near their sell by date, crisps, a bottle of wine from my former stash, (I can no longer drink alcohol) three pairs of altered Levis and new bed linen, all ironed.
I think it was a fair swap!
I usually have a full house, hence all the wasted food, no-one has been in the house for weeks. My children are all trying to protect me.
DD is struggling as tomorrow would have been her wedding day and I can't even see her to give her a ?hug.
Today I'm going to cull yet another wardrobe. The only problem is that the charity shops are closed and the existing bags are all piling up in the garage. Who knows what I will find in my wardrobe.
I would have been getting my nails done today for the wedding, so I'm going to give myself a manicure. Usually particular about my appearance, I have become a slob.
It's so easy to fall into that trap. I didn't recognise my very glamourous neighbour yesterday, dressed in a white forensic suit, no make up, hair everywhere and painting her fence! Our wee cul de sac is looking very smart indeed, as most of us are trapped her. .
I'm thinking of Gilly and all her troubles, hoping she makes some progress today.
Beechnut, best wishes for whatever you manage to do to celebrate.
For all those struggling, ?
