Be Prepared.

The clocks go on an hour

We must remember that

And whilst we are at it

There is another fact.

The weather now is lovely

But soon it will be too hot.

So check what stuff you have around

And the cooling stuff you've got

Don't wait until it happens

And the hoarders get to work

They'll buy up all the fans and things

And store them with a smirk

They won't have any pity

When you sweat and gasp

As they take whatever it is

Even to the very last.

Thanks for the reminder 👍

That's just plain old selfish to do that!

Good advice though to be prepared!

Good thinking Batman.

We can order our fans now whilst the rotters are still busy stockpiling flour and paracetamol

You are pre - empting Don and as usual youve hit the nail on the head. As a former girl guide I say... Be prepared!

I have only just read your former post about your fall. I must have missed that one. How are you feeling now? I know you make light of things but it must have been a shock to your system. Did you have a bad dream or something, to make you jump out of your chair like that? I know when I have a nap sometimes I suddenly wake up and it takes time to come to and remember where I am

It's too cold to do anything in the garden today so I may transplant some little ones into bigger pots. I'll do it in the kitchen as the greenhouse is in a bit of a mess.

Do you grow anything Don? I remember you saying you had a long garden.

Glad you feel up to writing a few gems for us to enjoy. Take care.

I fell out of my recliner just before eight o'clock when I remembered about the clapping planned to go on in our front gardens in appreciation of NHS and other workers. I just finished up giving myself a round of applause. 🙄

I wish you could hear me laughing then coughing then laughing then coughing then laughing again. You are such a fun sounding man.

Glad you are OK though. Chrys xxx

Weather is lovely and getting better?what planet are you on?

Oh just for one wise Master Po i do think you are wrong

They say that for Easter we may be even be getting snow

With no places to escape to we have nowhere else to go

So keep that fire primed and don't put away that scarf

We'll soon be taking refuge in a nice warm bath. :) x

Lovely Don. Just read a reminder on facebook. Said "Don't forget to put your clocks on an hour. Don't want to be late getting up to sit in your lounge"

Apt but sad.

Keep safe.

I just worked out we have exactly 1,907hrs & 30mins of our 12week isolation left! Clocks springing forward gets rid of one of those hours so thanks for reminding us of that ;) xxx

Boy, that sounds like a long time even with one hour off. Have already had enough of being confined to barracks even though it is better safe than sorry.

in reply to CDPO16

Me too! It’s doing my head in already and I don’t live alone, and have a nice garden, so am luckier than many. Times like this I wish I was a drinker 😜

CDPO16 profile image
CDPO16 in reply to

I also don't live alone and have a garden. I really feel for everyone without a bit of personal outdoor space and those living alone.

I have already turned to the drink 😂

Already had my fan out this week in a room that was too hot with the very nice weather. It's back in the cupboard today - blooming cold again! Hope you haven't tempted fate for it to be a cool, wet summer.
