Plague 7

Well lockdown doesnt seem to be making a lot of difference this morning , the road out of the village was much the same still lots of school buses with 3 kids on and everyone going to work . But a lot of folks in the village work in farming and food , plus theres an awful lot of RAF here and theyre business as usual , they have night flying so not a lot of sleep to be had .  Next door is already killing her kids because theyre stuck at home with her . On the kids front it does seem a tad daft to be busing kids all over the county to senior school when there could be school hubs at local primary level , theres about 10 kids at our little primary now .
Ive the van to pick up from MOT today , it passed with flying colours . The Angling Association is still trying to confirm if going fishing is allowed . If not i may have to sedate himself .
The problem im having is that stress and anxiety aggravate his ability to understand things , so im endlessly trying to explain over and over again because he forgets what ive told him , he woke me up at 5am to ask me what time we were going fishing .AARRRGGHH
That and the endless asking for stuff we dont have and trying to stop him eating everything in the house , ive a very well stocked pantry but im aware that if he eats everything he likes straight away , then he will make my life hell when he has little choice in what we eat .
Not sure how the grocery side of stuff will be organised out here in the countryside , most online deliveries for supermarkets are concentrating on towns and show no slots for our area on any dates , we have a Curtis butcher van  from time to time , veg is easy to come by and eggs are available so no big problems , daft time of year for a virus really the hunger gap before gardens kick in.

  1. Mine's the same, he's decided he needs egg and bacon every morning as cereal isn't appropriate when he's in lock down. He's also drinking more alcohol, it's all joy here.

    1. DPD are still delivering maybe we could wrap them and do an exchange that should baffle the pair of them

  2. We have very strict confinement measures here in France , we are allowed away from home maximum one person no more than a km once a day .only one person to go shopping ,which brings its own difficulties as I can't drive this car so it means I have to send hubby , I will give him a list but what he will come back with will be anybody's guess especially as he seems more concerned with having enough pet food . I wonder what cat food pie tastes like .

  3. A friend's husband has Alzheimers and she has found that the nonstop news coverage is making him much more anxious. I sent links to a couple of YouTube programs ha are very calming to see if that would help.
    Best of luck.
