Sitting room day

I had a day off cleaning yesterday, so a quick flit round the sitting room and shove the GTec over the carpet today. I also need to clean DB's table at the site of his chair. Its glass so I use white vinegar, brings it up really nicely.

Last night a plea on our local facebook page for an old IPad for a lady with problems who is house bound. I still have our old one, It needs clearing but she can have it with pleasure. Waiting to hear back from her daughter.

DB has just made tea, he will be out to the garden when he has had his. Its a bright day, heating is off and windows open. Yesterday I helped another wasp out of the kitchen window. I am surprised at the number of wasps about just now.

Supper tonight will be one of the frozen dinners from Wiltshire FF. I need a break from cooking, tomorrows supper is fish and chips which is not a problem, fish and chips go in the combi micro on 200c for 30 minutes, instant supper.

Once I have done the cleaning I plan to cut out another shopping bag and sew it.

I was a bit taken back by the announcement from the head of Health England that he thought social distancing should carry on until after Christmas. That puts the kibosh on 3 events planned for the village pensioners. The young wives summer tea, the harvest supper and the Christmas lunch. Such a shame, especially for the elderly who do not have family in the village and are housebound, it is the only chance they have to see friends. All three events are always very well attended.

I have not heard from our pastor friends, can only assume they are ok, I would have heard by now if they were not.

Yesterday we had a call from our GP surgery to say that as we were not suffering from cancer we were not on the list as being vulnerable. This morning a phone call from the NHS to say that we were on the list as being vulnerable and offering us help if we needed help. Another case of the left hand not knowing what the right is doing, apparently we should have received a letter, it is now being sent to us.
