Corona Cavern

Just spoken to my accountant. There are times when it pays to have one. Just told me I'm entitled to Spanish government aid for the self-employed. I'm working but can't bill. No billing means the govt will help me out. I hadn't expected that.

Four more weeks of lockdown for us
Good job we're well stocked with supplies!

Funny how you miss certain things...I've not been out shopping for 3weeks now and the only thing I'm actually missing are fresh mushrooms!
Yeh-There are things I could go out and buy but we're just not risking it!

I've been enjoying watching QI -they're a bunch of nutters!

I was just wondering when life returns to "normal", what will change long term. Will there be things that we don't bother doing any more? For example my husband says he isn't missing watching sport on TV at all and doesn't think he will bother with it when it comes back. (Mmmmmm! Time will tell.) Weirdly however he is missing shopping. Will families still spend more time together and go for family walks? Will everybody want to go out to eat and drink and have coffee? Will people continue to work from home? The main thing I miss is face to face meetings with family and friends. I think a party will be in order.

The clippers have arrived!! I have a doctors appointment for my INR check Monday so I think I'll ask Mrs B to cut me Tuesday, watch this space for amusing pictures

Finally had my isolation haircut, Mrs B did a champion job.

Sorry no picture as I assume a lot have you still have an empty stomach

I am so tempted to attack my husbands mop - a cross between Einstein and Boris! At the moment I am restraining myself.

Been playing music quiz with mates on line - might work for other stuff too - watch youtube videos or whatnot and photo them with your phone - reduces the quality of the image making it a bit harder to work who or what is what. Gave us 30 minutes of fun

How does a physio phone appointment work CG, I assume they talk you through the exercises, stretches, etc?

Yes . Feedback of last exercises and what to progress to next was emailed over. Worked fine, ringing again in 3weeks. She had no idea when il see an orthopaedic either, so we are just carrying on doing what we can .

Morning
Didnt do farm shop yesterday so planned for either today or tomorrow with supermarket /prescription and any shopping mum needs dropping off and anything mil needs dropped at her care home . It's good that OH can talk to her , my dad doesnt communicate anymore and its difficult. Neither of us able to get a delivery slot isnt helping.
If not shopping I will get OH helping me clean the greenhouse , get the pressure washer at it.

Have a good day whatever you do

Good luck, CG. Difficult times.

Mr Snoop has gone off to do the next two weeks' worth of shopping. I forgot to put lentils and rice on the list. Hope that wasn't a mistake. We're eating an awful lot of pulses these days. Meat from the freezer is becoming a rare treat. Probably the right kind of diet (if you ignore all the cakes and biscuits). Might crack open a can of confit de canard at the weekend and really live it up!

[Containergardener]

Snoop . I end up sending OH messages when I forget to add things to list
Hope your shopping went well.


A day gardening..weeding out thistles, nettles, docks, dog daisy and elder . Ready for compost area .
Planning a.raised bed for my cuttings/split plants area too and eventually a raised bed I planned to have 7yrs ago before life started to go a bit off the rails

Wondering also if I could utilise another flowerbeds this yr for growing. It's full sun from 12 all day though. I was just going to put annual flowers in for this yr..but ??.
Perhaps should put on another thread.

Sat outside listening to the birdsong and watching the sun go down. Lovely .
