The only change is with food shopping, we used to have it delivered but we are not considered priority customers so have to go out shopping now. They only let a few people in shops at a time, and you have to keep 2 metres apart (which leads to some interesting manoevres in supermarket aisles ). And it's hard to get hold of dog food. I've done the 2 metre aisle dance over here 😂 Had some trouble getting cat food this week, 3 stores later and they have a variety now. And they seem to want more feeds cos they know there are more feeds in the pantry. Denied. Having to go to other stores for the basics is pissing me off. I'm a self isolator at this time of year (and November) anyway, because Crohn's, but also humans are feral. 🤷 I got a cold last year when a friend invited me over to her place, and only when I noticed she sounded sick did she admit she had a cold. SNEAKY2 And that cold turned into an epic flu thang after U2 And I took a load of cold and flu tablets to Sydney in case Teegs or Zoe got it from me. "Who wants some Sudafed? Nurofen? Panadol?" So I'm really not trusting anyone atm. But I'm brushing up on my Spanish. [/Rant] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 It's silly really - we have to go out to the shops much more often now, whereas before it was once per month, simply because we can't buy anything in bulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, exactly, I am a massive bulk shopper usually! They have just re-opened delivery and click and collect shopping here, but luckily before then I qualified as "priority" for being pregnant/having a newborn, so we haven't been inside a shop in more than a month! And on that note - here is that newborn: Bryn (not putting the rest of his name because I'm not sure how open this forum is anymore) was born on Saturday 11th April at 9.25pm. He is already long like his mother, 55 cm and 3480 g at birth. The dogs have been very interested in him, especially Willow, but also suitably gentle. We've made exactly two excursions outside since coming home (to walk around the block with the doggos) and he has only met his extended family through the living room window at this stage. It's a weird time to be born in, but I'm reasonably happy to have an excuse to just hide away and wear pyjamas all day every day Edited April 26, 2020 by Oakie Doke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 He is gorgeous (and Mr OKD isn't too bad either ) Enjoy the peace and quiet while you can, life will get busier I hope you don't wear pyjamas while walking the dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just heard the news today... So I came almost quicker than I heard, then I got on MFC. Sorry it's taken so long to reply - not sure what news you were referring to Anyway, we are still under lockdown, though I have had my first dose of the Covid vaccine. Life is just going on, but getting very boring as you can't go anywhere or do anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 We heard yesterday that Mika's mother passed away in mid-January I don't know if any of you met Mama P, but she was a lovely lady and will be missed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelzy Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I didn't meet mama P but she was definitely legendary, and will be sadly missed. I'm glad you're getting the jab. Fingers crossed things improve over there soon. Have you hit the point where you're knitting jackets for the llamas yet?

silver Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 Bit of a long shot, I know, but is there anyone who went to any of last year's gigs who would be able to write a short report for the 2020 Yearbook?

Kelzy Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Good to hear! Happy new year! I'm still looking after my mob. Still managing not to get covid, (not that it's easy to be tested here atm.) We have summer here, kind of. Like vampires wandering out and staring at a cardboard cut out of the sun. Strange world these days. Strange days indeed... Sending smooshy hugs.
