I get cross my daughter is trying to shop for me and her family and selfish people not a thought for anyone else clearing the shelves. It has been hard work for her extra pressure and worry at this terrible time. I don't want her putting her self at risk of catching the virus. It is a lot calmer now I have enough to last me for few weeks. When I need my tablets I can ring the surgery and my daughter pick them up from the chemist. Not sure how it works with my B12 injection will find out when I need to book. I hope people will take the advice and how serious this is!!Keep safe everyone x
Thank you for that thought, Roukaya. I live on my own with no family support and not the greatest community (although I did get a phone call from a new neighbour offering any help, which cheered me up loads).
My young dog is the one suffering (judging by her expression) as we can't go a walk. So, we both get exercise by playing games (her games) in the garden for two hours! Two hours, I say. I'm not moaning - I'm lucky I have the facilities to be able to do that.
My next door neighbours, one of whom is almost certainly a high risker, I'd have thought, as he has a bad heart and in his 70s, has had builders in for the past three days creating a 'gathering' of at least five people in his smallish garden. There is a large hedge between our gardens but you can get paranoid about the whole thing, can't you? Can these germs negotiate a tall hedge d'you reckon?
On the local news there was a woman in her 80s announcing she didn't give a toss, she'd had her life and if she gets it she gets it. Another one, in her 70s, screaming at a store cashier about the two metre ruling (she didn't agree with it, apparently).
Some of the oldies are giving the rest of we responsible oldies a very bad rep.
A great site and much appreciated - thanks to everyone for it.
Always a letdown when folk behave in such a selfish way, isn't it? I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt and assume they are/will be polite, decent, helpful and so on.
So disappointing when they turn out to be the opposite.
I wish you well, Roukaya, and keep posting on here.
Hope you doing as well as you can, I love the sound of a curry, love to see a picture of it next time, whoever is volunteering for it. All I did today was to make wild rice and have it with tuna xx what is killing me is not Corona but exhaustion despite doing little.
I understand; I'm a technophobe as well, (or just challenged by technology moving too fast for me!)
I used to be quite near the cutting edge, but since retiring I have failed to keep up. I distrust Smart technology, it gives others far too much access to your information and the inside of your home, in my opinion.
Cheers, Midori
It also makes you realise how most matters are petty when you put them into context as well!
