Out and About

Well no need to self isolate now , changing my tablets has gone so well that my immune system has decided to launch another batch of shingles , i had an inkling yesterday when i had a swollen leg and felt like i was getting flu .  All i can do is wait for the blisters to hatch then lather them with coldsore cream , it does seem so much better as a method that the antivirals that appear to do nothing other than give me blinding headaches and really blurred vision . I will mention it to the doctor  but she may gather as im usually very hobbly by that stage ..ho hum
Two jumble sales yesterday a cat one that yielded a cat cushion 3 articles of clothing and a window thermometer which i may put on later , the other sale was a church one , i think the vicar has got the bug as he hosted one for another church in his parish a few weeks ago , i like these sales they are only small but they sell the strangest things , ive come home with a tatty stool that has drawers under it with casters , looks very made in china but im sure i can tart it up and i already have all the stuff i should need . The next few weeks are peak jumble sale season so im hoping theyre not all cancelled
I did witness the toilet roll wars in Poundstretcher , they were nearly scrapping over the last few expensive rolls , i just wanted weedkiller and a few cheesy pasta cup meals theyre always something i fancy when im a bit under the weather, that and soup. im supposed to be cooking for the hoards but after i took the big pork joint out everybody cancelled so its going to be pork everything this week i think ..ho hum at least we can still keep informing the relatives we are still ok

  1. No toilet roll wars here in Dover. Apart from no hand sanitiser and a bit of a shortage of antibac liquid soap there's still plenty of everything in the supermarkets. Also the cheap shops still have most things, B&M had the antibac soap and toilet rolls but papracetamol, ibuprofen etc. was scarce, and Poundstretcher still had loads of stock of cheap loo paper. I've not seen any evidence of stockpiling or panic buying except for a slight shortage of soap and in some places painkillers, otherwise everyone seems to be shopping as normal.

  2. This stock piling is crazy. How much food and toilet roll is anyone going to use in 2 weeks self isolation? I believe most (not all) households could live on what they have in there cupboards and freezer if forced to self isolate for 2 weeks, it might take a bit of imagination for some but doable.

    1. it doesnt appear to be the pensioners who are panicking its the younger able bodied folk who are fighting over stuff

  3. As someone said on Radio this morning. No good hoarding all the hand sanitizer to yourself if the person next to you did not get some you are doomed anyway. Far safer to be fair and share!
