We have been reduced to a skeleton staff so I only have 1 day at work a week. Feels very strange. Missing all the children at school. Went shopping this morning, was a very strange experience. Oldest son working huge long days as a key worker, delivering food to most of the village. I feel very odd, like I'm rushing around when I don't need to. How is everyone else getting on? Xx

Starblaze my GP referred me to social services some time ago, it was all arranged but now all cancelled. There is a need
for more carers , more so now. If only I had use of my hands,
but I haven’t so have to accept it, others worse off than me.

Everything will be OK, we are going to come out of the other side of this together.

I'm in a state where driving is permitted- Everything is closed except essential business- One could walk the roads where I live, and do- But due to rolling hills with limited sight distance, deep drainage ditches, and very little space between the street and ditch makes it precarious for the walker- Or runner- Or cyclist- Not all drivers are considerate- It's a more rural suburb ..

Annie, this might be worth a call.
