Do you still have your winter duvet/quilt on the go? today is the first cold day of the season last night desided to put one fluffy sheet on and one summer sheet on top did not ask Gary because he would have said no 10 min after getting into bed he said how nice it was 5 hours ago, janeymarywendy said: Who doesn't? Apart from those awful creme egg things. Have you been out in the sunshine today? oh you should have tried the ones that used to be made in Dunedin - vastly superior to that flour and water filling they force on us now our yoke used to be runny and the chocolate was thick made with real milk (not milk powder) milk, cane sugar and coco butter no disgusting palm oil plus no anti melting additives it all effects the taste they really did completly bugger up a great product its almost Easter - im due a i hate you Cadburys rant so did you have plans for easter ?

robk1 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 We were off to. S Wales in our camper van including a rugby match. Any of your planned gigs cancelled ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rosiejaneymary Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Yes. The biggest and most disappointing cancellation is that @rachelharms was supposed to come stay with me and then we were going to go to the Asbury Park Film Festival at the end of April; like we did last year. Hopefully it’ll be rescheduled and it’ll work out that she can still come, and we can still attend the film. How’re you holding up? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rosiejaneymary Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Just for walks and sitting on the deck out back (weather permitting!!); and to the grocery store. Do you find most people in your area following the guidelines to stay as safe as possible? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eileen Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 From what I've seen here - yes. Are you just going for groceries once a week? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daisey Jeep Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 we will find out tomorrow (i mean latter today) but Gary actually has faith in our troublesome neighbours they are normally out and about like yo yos and have lots of visitors and family with kids visiting, but its been very quiet today (well aside from her yelling at her own kids but that's 'normal) but hardly a car up our usual busy street all day where do you plan to walk if you are still allowed to where you live ?

Eileen Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I used to until it broke for the umpteenth time - now I just put the clothes-horse outside when it's sunny. How are you feeling this morning/whatever time of day it is where you are? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whispered secret Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Ok. A bit scared, but trying to stay positive. Have you taken up a new hobby whilst this is going on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eileen Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Not as yet. Just being my lazy self just now … more so, if that's possible. Are you listening to the radio more than usual? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Daisey Jeep Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Id be too busy looking at her pearls How much soap do you have at home ? ( this is not intended as a judgemental post about hoarding) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eileen Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I use soap until it's too thin and wears away. I have a pack of 2 bars unopened … still got a bit of the old one left. Are you confused as to how many people are walking every day and not just when necessary for food? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

People can walk/run/cycle for exercise and they can also go out to buy food. I see what you mean though - combine the two things? Back to soap - do you not stick your thin bit of soap onto a new bar? (One of my mum's tricks passed down ). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eileen Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Hahaha, not usually. The walk thing - I'd not go for a walk as such, just a couple of times to the shop in the week. If necessary. I was told by the assistant that they had anti-bacterial handwash in but I declined as I've got one upstairs and one downstairs - some may not have any - the elderly bloke behind me got one. Am I crackers? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
