Good Morning + your weather report

It's been quite nice here. Quite sunny. It's about the only cheery think happening at the moment with all this Corona virus panic and gloom.

morning all
wonder what today will bring
got a phone call to say all care was being cut due to the virus 
because I look fit and well they thought I would be able to do all the care myself
after a long conversation I can have one hour in the mornings until the virus is over
them that get it for nothing for what ever reason ie they have no money can still get the help they are classed as vulnerable but like us who pay £400 pounds plus each month   have to have a cut in service
I feel; so angry sorry for ranting

Good morning - I'm sorry to read of your situation Jenkay. I don't know what else to say.

It's dry here and I'd normally have been going on a U3A walk. Not today though because the walks have cancelled until further notice. I'm going to ride my bike instead since that's something that can be done while keeping a good distance away from anyone else.

Hi jenkay - sorry to hear that - I once did use the british NHS but now use the ozzie NHS which seems slightly better than the british one?

excuse me for asking but is the £ 400 plus each month you pay, part of a private health fund?

A terrible situation to be in Jen, hopefully it will be over very soon and we can all get back to normal
At least the weather is showing some signs of improvement...no rain on the cards for a good few days and maybe some sunshine

Good morning -Grey skies but no rain

Good morning - Overcast and damp here and it has been raining.

We're expecting a shopping delivery from Sainsbury's soon. We had one from Asda yesterday but they were out of stock of a lot of items we ordered. I hope Sainsbury's has them.

By the way, should the name of Sainsbury's have an apostrophe or not?

Good morning -A nice sunny start to the day

morning all
i posted a reply yesterday but I think its gone into space  
i was replying todavo
its the way the care system works over here if you have no savings and very little pensions then the state pays for your care
but if you have savings and pensions you have to pay yourselves 
so you have to ask yourself is it worth saving up or spending the lot 
anyway i am not going to let it get me down
on a better note the suns out

thanks for the reply jenkay - I once had a private health fund for extras and faster service but the NHS over here would dip into that too if they could - thieving b.........

Good morning - It's sunny out there and I was nearly at the allotment when I realised I hadn't changed my shoes. I turned around immediately and rode home again because I know there's a lot of digging to do. It's not worth setting off again now. Oh well, I suppose I at least got a 2.7 mile bike ride for some exercise.

I've just been gardening wearing my wellies that were given to me when I worked as a building site labourer in 1969....I have worn them regularly ever since...... that's 50 years ago !!

That is one well-worn pair of wellies Malcolm! They must have sentimental value by now. :)

I most often wear a pair of old waterproof trainers for the allotment. I've got two pairs of these and what I ought to do is take a pair with me to keep in the allotment shed. It's not the first time I've forgotten to change my shoes before setting off.

Good morning -A nice sunny start to the day
Online shopping has gone belly-up......no delivery slots available at Morrisons and Tesco !
