Feeling very relieved as we got everything I was hoping in Aldi, even toilet rolls!! We had to queue outside 2 metres apart and it was one in one out which worked very well.
On man did try to push in
but was soon sent on his way to the back of the queue
. It does look as if the shopping situation has calmed down significantly and I wanted you all to know in case any of you are worried.

Yes us too Smileless!! We are surrounded by farms, so quite distant from others, so I didn't think any one would be audible. But some people were banging saucepans so they could be heard
Just been stood outside our front door to clap for all our wonderful NHS workers. Very moving.

We've noticed that bushes we have on our roof terrace have coming into bud Rhinestone.
It sounds as if the difficulties of getting food supplies we're having here are happening where you are.
We're only allowed a 30 minute walk, run or cycle ride a day so Mr. S. and I are going out separately so our dogs get 2 relatively decent walks a day.
He lives in cloud cuckoo land doesn't he. He seems to be more concerned about the American economy than he is American citizens

'Happy Mother's Day' dear friendsit's going to be even harder this year with everything that's going on so I'm thinking of you all.
We're at our holiday lodge, arrived yesterday. There a few here so it wont be hard to keep ourselves to ourselves.
I don' know how I managed it, but managed to get everything we needed to bring, plus Mr. S. and two dogs into my little Fiat 500. It was a relief as I thought I'd need to make two trips.
That must have been hard Rhinestone
. A few months ago I was looking for some paper work and found a photo of ES taken when he was at primary school. Totally unexpected as all photo's are kept together.
Like you, if I came across old cards, pictures and letters I don't think I could have resisted having a read.
Your mum's amazing.
Mr. S. is doing really well and in another 3 weeks will be able to drive and hopefully at least that part of our lives will be back to normal.
Take care everyone and stay safe x
Dear PF I'm so very sorry that the prognosis for your DH isn't more reassuring.
It's wonderful that you both got to see your D and GD's before the corona virus outbreak worsened, and lovely that your DH so quickly formed a special bond with his GD.
Mr. S. is doing really well and we're thankful he's had his surgery, as no doubt it would have been cancelled. With o much to deal with, it's very kind of you to ask after him.
I'm keeping you, your DH and family in my thoughts and prayers.
Smileless, I have just popped back to this thread briefly and have seen your kind enquiry.
The short answer is that DH's cancer is inoperable and incurable. He is undergoing chemo which has a 30% chance of arresting things, but the treatment is being rationed, so it is vitally important to remain in isolation or the treatment will. be refused.
We visited DD1, SIL and the DGDs a couple of weeks ago which, with hindsight, was the last opportunity. It went as well as it could have done, in the circumstances, although the first day was rather awkward. DH was pleased that we had been and that he had met the DGDs - the eldest one is the image of him and they seemed to form a special bond.
Sorry that this post is all about me, but I haven't read into the previous posts. I just want to wish you all well and I hope Mr S is now on the mend!
What I will say is that present circumstances put everything else in perspective. DD1 is very concerned about DH and is in touch every day. I know that I have to let go of the past and this I am trying to do. I think we all know, in our maturer years, that time is finite. Many younger people know this too so I am not intending to be patronising but, as we get nearer to our Maker, our focus becomes sharper.
We should just try to be kind and to enjoy every day. There is no point in worrying about the things which we cannot change.
That's great news hugshelp you must be very relieved.
Thanks Namsnanny can you believe him though, forgetting to tell us that his job and income was safe for another year, the very thing that worried us the most!!
Welcome Lavazza1st you're very welcome here I don't know why, but I find it really difficult getting your name right
. If you don't mind I might just call you L
Hope everyone's doing OK. What with CV and of course one of the worse days of the year coming up on Sunday; yes Mother's Day.
Hope you and your DH are OK PF.
How are you Rhinestone? So far away in America but always close to our hearts. Our friend in LV sent pics of 'the strip' all closed down and a lot of the shops boarded up. It looks like a ghost town, all be it a rather glamorous one.
Stay safe everyonex
We had that one thrown at us too Smileless I said I may look 105y but you know my birthday!
Dawn … I'm not sure I really understand your question, so I'm deferring answering until I've thought more about it!
He messaged us today Namsnanny. No information as such but said he's fine and hoped we're OK "seeing as you're both in the vulnerable age bracket" cheeky bugger; we're not old enough although there are times when we both feel we are.
No I don't feel the need to make contact Dawn but I can understand anyone who might. TBH I can't think of anything that would now.
Stay safe everyone.
