Forgot to say my hairdresser rang me today to say they would ring before they reopen and I’m on the priority list for an appointment 🎉🥂💃Cheered me up because it sounds like they are preparing for some sort of return to normality which is what we all are praying for 🙏

Possibly but I know of someone who was refused in a shop as non essential purchase. I could try and order online but I’ve already got several items taking forever to get here. And then there’s the reality of letting me loose with an eyebrow tint 🤣😩🤣😱I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

Morning folks
Had to think what day it was when I first woke up this morning 🤣
Typical that the weather is miserable today after being lovely all week. Went out first thing to Mr T Express, it was quite busy and only one member of staff and he was struggling to cope with too many people in there. It was really hard to maintain a social distance as there were people all over. I was approached in the street by an elderly lady in a mask and gloves, she came right up to me to ask what time Savers opened. Coming out of my drive I was nearly knocked over by a cyclist whizzing past on the pavement. Dropped the shopping back home then took the dog on the park. So all outside activities now done thank goodness for that.
The Amazon order I placed 2 weeks ago is finally arriving today 🎉 Only batteries and Mr SA's beloved Lypsyls - I would normally pick these up from Savers but it's a nightmare trying to get in there at the moment. What's really annoying is that normally my local shops are really quiet even at the weekend. No doubt these extra people will disappear once this is all over. I really hope all these people who are now having milk, vegetable boxes etc delivered will still give them their custom afterwards but I doubt it.
My friend's relative was on dialysis and ventilator in hospital with the virus, he was very poorly but is now well enough for them to be considering discharge so that's good news.
Hope everyone is well and has a nice Saturday.

It's lovely to hear some good news about someone recovering from the Corona Virus.Your outside journeys sound terrifying!I also hope that people appreciate the deliverys they're depending on now and keep them on. We can but hope.I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy7 -
There are a lot of elderly people where I live Chrystal and they don't seem to get the social distancing thing.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

Good luck on Monday SA with your first call after training. You'll be fine. It's always a little nerve wracking doing sometime in work completely different from normal but everything soon slots into place. Im another who has admiration for the IT department at work. I was a little sceptical at first on whether the WFH for all our staff would be successful but apart from systems being a little slower it is working out very well.

Morning all 😎
Mr SA actually got up before me this morning! I had a couple of sleepless hours about 2am so was really tired. I'm getting really nervous about tomorrow but I know once I've taken a couple of calls it will start to flow.
Going to do a live Insanity class at 10.30 then it's my day to do C25K, already done my Spanish lesson.
I'm thinking about ordering a carpet cleaner from Amazon. I do need one because of Mr SA's accidents, we've only got 2 carpets in the house as everywhere else is hard flooring so I only need a small cleaner. I've seen a compact Vax one for £120 and it has good reviews, no point getting a huge one. I'm fed up of having to scrub the hall carpet on my hands and knees. Will think about it anyway...
Weather is good today so will be spending some time pottering in the garden.
