Our local shop

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!
