So we have found out that because he is a definite non covid fatality, there can be a quicky cremation for FIL only 3 people can attend . So now they are squabbling over that , not unexpected as the third brother is hard work at the best of times and loathes Mr BH with a vengeance. At least someone from his partners family has appeared and seems to be dealing with her , she cant survive without a full time carer , she had carers coming in a few times a week already but for obvious reasons there wont be any increase in care at the moment , FIL has been the only thing keeping her out of residential care for the last few years . It also seems that FIL has a stream of lock up garages containing god knows what, numerous vehicles etc , that its up to us to pay for and sort out ? But current circumstances once again prevent anybody doing anything about it at the moment . Normally i would suggest because theres no chance of any of them agreeing about anything , that it all should go to auction and the proceeds be split . Not that any of them would listen ..lol
On the lockdown front , I ventured to the local Coop yesterday to find it stripped by locusts , theres barely a thing on the shelves , tons of barbecue charcoal and a pallet of Carling were just being delivered . milk is practically being given away at the moment so i grabbed a couple of big cartons and popped them in the freezer . Son managed to grasp a delivery slot for Morrisons despite been 11003 in the queue this was at 3am in the morning , not that they had anything we needed in stock , but at least it gives a few more choices. Weve noticed that a lot of the second homers are quietly sneaking into their properties , lets hope they bring groceries with them or theyre in for a big shock
We watch the sw news and police in Devon and Cornwall have been visiting second homers and telling them in no uncertain terms to return to their primary residence .

DeleteHoliday and leisure boaters have been told the marina is closed but I'm expecting some of them to ignore it.
ReplyDeleteWell, when the Beckhams and the Ramseys do without any consequences I guess others seem to think the rules don't apply to them either. I hope that people remember all this in the future and shun them properly.
ReplyDeleteDairy farmers have been dumping milk as well over here - shortages seem to be settling down although flour and all the cleaning items are still in short supply. People were told to shop early for both Passover and Easter (even though there should be no outside family or friends in attendance) they assume people will want to stock up with a few extras - they don't want huge lineups at the last minute. I will not be going near a shop until the end of the month - if I don't have something I'll just do without - shouldn't be too much of an issue as its just me.
Hope things aren't too stressful over the funeral.
I'm not looking forward to shopping as I haven't been since before lockdown. I will make this last as long as possible.
