Well here we are in the beautiful quiet hear the birdsong fen edge . I think the one good point of the current work not work shambles is that both the builders who have driven us mad with the endless power tools and deliveries , scuttled out their doors at great speed on Monday morning . I think both their partners are glad to see the back of them .
Himself has announced that he and his brother are going fishing Friday , as he cant fish without a carer and his brother has severe asthma they make a fit and healthy pair . His brother coughs a lung up to order so that should frighten everybody away .
Yesterdays trip to Lidl was a giggle , there was a little tiny old lady out shopping she could barely see over the trolley . No mask or gloves but shed put her big coat on . The security guard chimed up , with .
Should you be out? Have you no one to shop for you ?
"Bollocks" came the reply as she sauntered in to continue her shopping , it gave the queue a good giggle and the security guard looked gobsmacked . Everybody in the shop was giving her a very wide berth . Is this the start of very old people never being seen? a tad worrying .
Just to put my life at risk i once again visited B&N lots of stock , no queue , the place was packed did my usual pop down the far end for the Heron section and headed out, only they had one till and the queue was the entire length of the shop , Miss 2 metres apart was going crazy , it seems they were supposed to have only 20 people in the shop and one in one out . I did point out their were no signs , only to get the death stare as she stomped outside . Yep you guessed it all the signs had blown down to the bottom of the car park , guess they should have kept the security guard in a job .
Had to deliver a load of shopping to daughters , shes not been to well the joys of auto immune illnesses and stress , her other half does the shopping but as she says , he cant go in a shop and not come out without spending £30 on nothing , or meal plan to a budget in his head . First time ive seen her and the munchkin since this started even if it was at a distance . He wanted to come to stop but it seems hes on the list to go back to school because hes year 6 in the next couple of weeks .
Now that the urgent gardening is up to date i have the time to do a bit more crafty stuff at last , tried doing tie dye the other day just for a giggle and it went suprisingly well . a jumble sale top and sundress are now very trendy..lol and the cat has blue whiskers
It sounds like you're keeping yourself busy. Someone wrote on facebook that the security guard at lidl had also been laid off and there was far too many people in the shop. The cashiers were apparently shouting for help. This is the new normal shops need to take it seriously.
ReplyDeleteprofit over everything is the rule
DeleteI'm in South Africa we have security guards, they now dispense the hand sanitiser. Shops have been well stocked from the beginning but some brands are missing. We are only alowed yo buy necessities so no booze or cigarettes, not even cloths electrical appliances or DIY stuff. We have been alowed out to exercise or walk the dog only for the past two weeks. Things are changing and people will be back at work and more shops are reopening and we might be able to buy wine and beer all from 1 June.
ReplyDeleteI think that our government realised that having decimated the police and army with cuts they havent got a chance unless the booze kept flowing
DeleteWe'll be getting word from the Provincial Govt. today as to the step-by-step plan - but we know it's going to be done slowly. They opened a very few things last weekend but they have also extended the lockdown to June 2 and we are expecting to hear today from the Feds that the border will remain closed with the US for at least another month. The only travellers allowed in at the land border and the airports from overseas are Canadians or Permanent Residents returning home. A 14 day quarantine is then mandatory and if you don't have a plan in place you are taken to a hotel being rented by the govt. This has been in place for weeks now so I was shocked to realize that the UK has only just put this in place. Not sure why they are bothering now - strikes me as a bit late. The only items crossing between us and the US are truckers going both ways with needed items.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the fishing trip will mean that you get a day of peace and quiet!
The UK government are a shower of money grabbing charlatans who are only concerned with profit . they have pursued the herd agenda theory and allowed the virus to run riot . Londons figures have dropped like a stone so now everybody is expected to go back to normal , despite rising death figures outside London
