Good Morning Everyone,
Its daylight here in Brackley looks a bit grey above ,with overnight rain.
Into week 3 of lockdown, apart from having some walking,and getting food from Supermarket.
Starting to miss my Tuesday routine as well, but hopefully a brighter future of being able to do those things again lays ahead but when??
Mick

A late good morning from the Shropshire borders where it is another sunny day.
Had a FaceTime from DD2 and family this morning,we were still in bed!Was so lovely to see them.DGS is talking a lot more than when we last saw him a month ago.
Today is my FIL’s 92nd birthday and this is the first time in many years we haven’t been down in Llanelli celebrating with him.
The dietician phoned yesterday and a plan has been put in place for Henry.Follow up in two weeks and contact details if my daughter needs advice before then so we are all feeling more positive.
Cherry,hope you are feeling ok,you definitely need a more restful day today?
Curlywhirly,sorry for your loss.
Thinking of you all,stay safe and ?for all having wobbles today.x

Good morning folks from a sunny blue-skied Godalming.
Looking forward to my run tomorrow but today, as everything is spik and span, I am lying on a sofa, feet over one end marvelling at the tiny mobile phones I unearthed during my tidy of bedroom shelves and all in original boxes. Mind you, these 4 are not all of the antique phones in my possession. I have 50 all told but that
tally includes my present wrist-breaker ??
I need to charge them up and see exactly what's on them.
There's s brand new Vodaphone with Bluetooth? (never knew Bluetooth went back as far as that and 4x zoom ?) from 2007 with receipt still in box. The Sony Ericsson with Walkman is a sliderwith 3.2mp main camera...jeez ??
and good old reliable Nokia N70...haha.
They will keep me amused for hours as the Vodaphone has that snake game on it.
Well, now to charge them up and delve into their secrets...old pics n messages...??
Meanwhile, do take care and remember the SPF 30 on your forays outside ???
?? for everyone.

MawB, taichinan I listened to Dr.Sarah Jarvis yesterday and she spoke about more people saying that they had really painful legs, some had painful arms also. This virus seems to have a myriad of different symptoms, not all patients get all of them.

MawB Tue 07-Apr-20 09:57:04

My sincere sympathies Curlywhirly on your loss.
Sadly this is the sort of thing we are all dreading and probably most of us will experience somewhere in our extended family.
I “attended” the streamed funeral from Essex yesterday of an old friend from our London days.
There were only 6 family members present and their little children - all spaced out- and it was strange, but actually quite comforting to feel that I was somehow “there”.

MawB Tue 07-Apr-20 09:53:03

Taichinan. You said
She is into her second week now and strangely her symptoms have not included a cough! It started with sore legs, a temp and extreme tiredness. The temp then went down and she lost her sense of smell and taste
This is almost exactly what my little 3 3/4 year old grandson had when they flew back from Minneapolis in February. My D had been working out there on a play and my SIL took Flynn out for 10 days for them to have some time together - especially for him to see real snow which he loved.
He was poorly within days of coming home but of course nobody was looking for CV19 especially not in a toddler.
I can’t vouch for the loss of taste and smell but he was seriously off his food and we were very worried especially the “sore legs” and he spent a whole day in paediatric A&E which was very distressing.
It’s quite frightening, but on the other hand if it was CV then his parents might have some immunity as they were totally exposed to it and I went down to look after him twice so perhaps I have some immunity too. It’s a (possibly) reassuring thought.

Bright and sunny here, I had a bad night and decamped to the spare room! Gong to allotment today, and this afternoon will ring my friend to help with the Zoom, got it onto laptop but no sound! Thinking of all those who have lost loved ones. I had a bit of a wobble yesterday, sometimes it's hard to keep a stiff upper lip! TOYA

Good morning all from a sunny mid-Notts. Looking outside you wouldn't think anything was wrong would you? Stay safe everyone and may Tuesday be kind to us all x

NanKate Tue 07-Apr-20 09:26:23

Oh please go on Mary we are all in need of some light entertainment from you. ?

Taichinan Tue 07-Apr-20 09:25:10

curlywhirly so sorry ??

Auntieflo Tue 07-Apr-20 09:20:46

Good morning Michael, Annie, and all.
It is beautiful here again this morning, and sounds very quiet.

Marydoll, we need your novellas to keep us going.✍️
I have often wished we had a Save button, as I also lose posts.

I made an Apple and Almond cake yesterday, but will have to stop baking, as I'm running out of freezer space, and flour, and eggs, etc, etc.
Did loads of washing yesterday, got it all dried in the garden, and it smells so lovely.
Gillybob, is your gas engineer coming tomorrow? Anyway, you will have a very clean space behind the cooker ?

Managed to get about a dozen pieces into my pesky jigsaw, and now have very few to finish it off. It won't beat me!

I will have to go and get some milk soon, but our little local Sainsbury have been brilliant. There used to be a pub on the site, but in all the years we have lived here, I never went in.
My dad and DH sometimes had a drink there though.
We didn't go for our walk yesterday, I don't know why, but we both had achey legs. That's my excuse, anyway.

Thoughts and prayers for Boris.

Have a good day one and all, take care and stay safe.

Good morning from a sunny Market Harborough.

Another day to stay safe. Love to you all. X

Good morning Mick and all before me. It's a sunny day - without the bitterly cold wind (so far) - here on the Angus coast. Yesterday I was determined to find a place to sit in the sun and out of the wind, but the best I could do had me thoroughly chilled! I have sitooterie benches in all sorts of nooks and crannies, but nothing worked. I heard yesterday that my great-niece, a health worker, has had the virus confirmed at the weekend past. She is into her second week now and strangely her symptoms have not included a cough! It started with sore legs, a temp and extreme tiredness. The temp then went down and she lost her sense of smell and taste. Worried now about her husband and two little ones - but what can you do? And on top of that, just as the lockdown started DS1's FiL was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given only months. He has his first RT today, bless him. And now Boris of course. Maybe something we can learn from him is that rest is important in the early days? Sorry, what a moanie post this is. Feeling really insecure now, which is silly. My late DH always said I was an ostrich with my head in the sand, so having come up for air I shall just bury down in the sand again and get on with things. No way out but through. Heading to the garden first I think and then take the day from there. Have as pleasant a day as you can everyone ???

Good morning from West Wales. The sun is shining and the birds are singing. I am looking forward to my walk on the (deserted) beach with my dog. I hope you are all well, enjoy the sunshine and stay well.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Supermarket trip (5 minute walk from home) and washing bedroom curtains are today's highlights. Went for a long walk on a big stretch of land opposite the supermarket yesterday.
Much love to all ❤️

Oh Marydoll! I know that scenario well.
PLEASE have another go?
Pretty please?

Good morning from Hampshire. Have a good day everyone. Cracking on with The Mirror and the Light. I found it was difficult to make sense of late at night, when I kept dropping off so now am giving it more respect.

cornergran Tue 07-Apr-20 08:40:28

I’m so sorry for your loss curlywhirly. flowers.

Good morning from a sunny Essex. Like many of you, I had an unsettled night after the news about Boris. This really doesn't discriminate and just hope he pulls through.
Window cleaner came yesterday. So pleased to see him even at social distancing! My garden looking good and moved 3 small plants yesterday. I like to have a Grand plan and hope it all comes together. Had to order a new umbrella for the patio set. The website said delays so hope it comes before Winter!
Workout today, then yoga and then Iceland delivery this afternoon.
Wishing everyone a peaceful day xxx
