Out here on the island that isn't too hard or too different. Siri is stuck in France, too complicated to try and get back to the US. She and her boyfriend are fine, have a good place to stay on so I won't worry too much about her. Please take good care of yourself.

We are taking each day as it comes and being as careful as we can. I have been to the hairdresser this morning and am planning to go to the supermarket tomorrow, but I'll listen to the morning news to get the latest advice. I also like to have a daily walk and have a route worked out which avoids too many people.

I'm actually not a big fan of either, but he adores them. Did you know they make chocolate ovaltine?

I think it's because households with more than one person have now been told that they would all need to isolate themselves for 14 days, as opposed to the 7 they assumed previously, which still applies to single households. There will be a big challenge for many people in finding (and - for many, paying for) 14+ days worth of every single thing they will eat, particularly in a large family. <br />I'm glad you are already on the Tesco delivery system. I've read that some supermarkets are refusing to allow new customers to sign up to its delivery service.the veg artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029588460808570133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-36121966517966830062020-03-17T09:03:33.464-07:002020-03-17T09:03:33.464-07:00Thank goodness for Percy :-)
