Things can only get better

Morning folks  

Thank you greenbee I will look into that.  We used to have a greenhouse when Mr SA was well and we put it together ourselves, although it involved a lot of shouting and swearing.  It was only lightweight with plastic glass and as our garden is exposed it got battered by the wind and didn't last long. So I need a sturdy one properly constructed by someone who knows what they're doing. 

I've managed to get a Mr M delivery slot for 23 April.  Never thought it would be so exciting! Only looked on the off chance so glad I did.  If we can manage until then with the local shops that will be good.  I'm so nervous of going into the shops and picking the virus up and bringing it back to Mr SA, he picks up everything that's doing its rounds even without going anywhere. He was really poorly earlier this year with a cough, bad chest and temperature then he had the noro virus straight after.

I will need to pick up a few things for the weekend so probably best to do that today. Might try mid-afternoon. 

Managed to do the wake up yoga this morning, I'm not very flexible so it was in a fashion.  Will do Joe Wicks in a bit.  Not managed the early morning walk yet but will keep putting it on my to do list.

Have a good day everyone xx

I think it's about looking at the right time once the slots have been offered to extra vulnerable/elderly.  It's 3 weeks away though and I'll have to manage locally until then, unfortunately  we don't have a big supermarket just Iceland and Tesco Express. This is when I miss having transport.  To get everything locally would mean several trips a week, which I don't want.  DD could pick up odd things but not all of it. I've seen something where Ocado are opening up their delivery slots firstly to extra vulnerable, elderly and then to loyal delivery pass holders.  Mr M's orders are fulfilled by Ocado so hoping they'll do the same.  Who knew getting the shopping would become so complicated.

Just seen something on internet news - Mr T are releasing delivery slots as they've recruited some more drivers.  Could be worth a look for those of you struggling to find slots.  I don't usually shop online with Mr T so would feel guilty taking one when I'm not a regular customer, so I won't be looking. I'm ok for now anyway.  

Can't understand why local people are walking down the road on their own with a mask on.  I can understand them wearing them in the shops but when there's no one else about - why?????

That's work done for another day.  Not going to bother going to the shop, I don't need anything until the weekend and the less often I leave the house the better. I've only been outside today to peg the washing out, Mr SA took the dog on the park. 

WW order arrived today, only ordered at the weekend so faster delivery than when I had the broken leg - it took so long to arrive I was back at the workshop before it came.

I'm glad some delivery slots are opening up at last.

I agree with not wanting to go out. I need to post some birthday cards but I'm scared to go into the post office to buy stamps! I might even wear a mask. I've been wearing gloves but I've hardly seen anyone around my town wearing masks so I'll feel a bit silly. But it's worth it not to catch the virus I guess.
