I am pleased to see that people are behaving nicely and standing apart whilst waiting at the till. Yes, some things are low such as pump action soap, hand gel and the cheaper brands of painkillers and such like.
There are many people smiling and joking about things but that seems to be the British way of dealing with things. Hopefully that won’t change in the near future.
We have made a list of jobs that need doing around the house, and where possible, have bought in what we need to do them. If we have to self isolate for a long while, they will get done.
Apart from food shopping, dog walking and walking in general, we are self isolating as much as possible.
DB has come down with a cold. No temperature or other indicators as in the new virus. I have given him a quarter dose of Nytol, it helps dry up the runny nose a little, which in turn reduces sneezing. He hasn’t had a cold for years:( Hopefully he won’t pass it on!
Alan has had a bad chest for a few weeks now, it was almost impossible to get him the paracetamol he needed, but Lemsips and Bronco Stop cough medicine have saved the day.
ReplyDeleteHope you both stay fit and as well as you can … and manage to get all those jobs done :-)
Glad to hear it, well done on thinking out the box.
DeleteI have had lovely conversations lately while waiting in line to pay for my purchases.
ReplyDeleteI do wonder what the mind set is of those that clear out entire shelves.
God bless.
I can’t begin to imagine but feel the shops should have rationed goods earlier.
DeleteJust this week my ever lasting cough (which I think was a chest infection) has begun to clear up - started on New Year's day. I've been round my local shops today - all very civilised. I even managed to get some toilet roll as I'm now shopping for my elderly parents for the foreseeable. I went to the chemist for their prescriptions and they're limiting customer entry to 2 at a time and the staff are all togged up in plastic aprons and gloves. I actually feel like I'm in a science fiction film! I'm babysitting tomorrow for my 2 school age granddaughters whose school has closed - I hope they're good girls for me as I don't yet feel 100% but apparently their mum & dad can't get time off. It's set to be a long term thing so I hope they get something planned soon.
ReplyDeleteWell I hope you continue to improve.
