[MENTION=22411]IamMary[/MENTION].........think she's back Thursday and I'd lay odds on she comes down with a chest infection.
And the gas man has arrived. The electric have to go off so I'll freeze.

JAcks - I hope you didn't shake hands, hug or share body fluids with these gas men & decorators:haha:

AND there is a case of COVID-19 in Cheltenham. The big boys with the big bucks must be lobbying hard.
MrS has been told in no uncertain terms - this is his last year. It's just too expensive for retirees like us.
Well - I'm still working for my sanity - but not to fund horse racing ..... :Grrrrrr

Just this MINUTE saw that! - and Jilly was telling me one of the other teachers in her school was on a course last week and shared a room with a woman who is right now being tested for the virus... if it's positive the school will be closed down apparently - it's getting closer!
I'd say the racing IS mad expensive - can't see the attraction (thankfully!) but yeah - you still earning -- you call the shots -- I know I do!!!

Evening everyone. Had a lovely weekend, the weather was terrible but they all did great in their races. Ate way too much so back to routine today. Need to have a read back to catch up. See the parade is cancelled. This Coronavirus is getting more serious.

Only fluids were paint samples

Listen the Queen and her hangers on were all at Westminster Abbey today. Commonwealth Day. Poor woman had to put up with someone screeching Ain't no Moutain High Enough.If she's willing to get out and about then so am I. Mind you she was wearing posh white gloves........perhaps we should get them instead of face masks. Just watched for about 10 minutes and all these little scouts and brownies yawning with boredom made me smile.

The government think tank has come out with
Stay at home if you feel even slightly poorly..............I've got slight ear-ache. I've looked at the symptoms and it doesn't mention that. A guide to getting your money back if a gig or something big is called off.

Re: FORWARD -- MARCH --- ARMY March 2020

Morning,
Library open
Still got earache despite the old olive oil cure.
Blowing a hooley outside.

With 300 euros you'll be able to buy mounds of toilet paper. Makes you wonder what the zero hour people are going to do when they have to self isolate.........mmmmmmmmm

Re: FORWARD -- MARCH --- ARMY March 2020

Re: FORWARD -- MARCH --- ARMY March 2020

I agree with you Molly on the Media hype about the Corona virus. It's sending folks into panic mode. I went grocery shopping yesterday and the shelves of cleaning products and hand sanitizer were absolutely bare! Plenty of toilet paper though! :egad:

The whole world seems to be going into freefall... I'm not underplaying the virus - I'm sure it's awful and yes it can be fatal - but so can lots of things without a world wide state of hysteria -- I probably should keep my mouth shut!!!!
What amuses me is that the HSE (health board) is advising anywhere that has a waiting room lawyers/doctors/dentists etc... to get rid of newspapers and magazines - we are literally a melting pot of all in the library -- SURROUNDED by books/magazines/newspapers - and being coughed and spluttered on 50 times a day - but no one seems to know -- or care!!

Re: FORWARD -- MARCH --- ARMY March 2020

Evening everyone. Totally agree with you Molly. Have not been in the shops but see all the pictures up on social media of empty shelves, madness. Feel sorry for the more vulnerable though. Going to keep doing what I normally do, eat as healthy as I can, exercise in the fresh air and hand wash. Taking a day off next week so won’t be back at work for two weeks. Looking forward to the break.

Re: FORWARD -- MARCH --- ARMY March 2020

Good evening all!

Now been to hospital as foot not getting better-- Got hairline fracture so NO running and now on crutches. However not got much pain and perhaps the London Marathon will be cancelled.

Being being injured has rallied (SP) the family-- as I am being treated like a Queen.

Good -- you deserve it - and I guess the marathon probably will be cancelled (should be imo) -- get the feet up and let everyone spoil you --

I gather we could be shut down any day now -- it's all beginning to sound fierce serious...

Bless your heart :hug: Good news about the family weighing in.

I'm just back from the walk-in clinic...........have absolutely mega earache and getting an appointment at my doctors is nigh on impossible............the pharmacist told me to go. PTL its not an infection but congestion. Got to be a Lydia Languish with a heat pad for a day or two with my head over washing up bowl full of steamy waterr and lie with a heat pad on my ear.

About the virus and the press...........Mr. JC piped up about what is happening with the people who have seasonal flu? Whatever else is going on in the world has been sidelined or ignored.

And would you believe it, but the nurse I saw also worked where I used to volunteer in the Alcohol & Drug place.

Re: FORWARD -- MARCH --- ARMY March 2020

Well I have been getting messages all day about schools closing down for a month, disaster! We've been told to take our laptops and chargers home every night.

Just back from the Helix, school choirs, lovely night.

Think I'll buy loads of paint, may as well do something proactive if we're all knocking around here for a month.

Good that you know whats wrong now Brit..

Hope the ear feels better [MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION]

Re: FORWARD -- MARCH --- ARMY March 2020

Hello Everyone!
Still no toilet paper in Australia! There are fights in supermarkets which just made my jaw drop. I have had the seasonal flu and last three days off work. Stupidly I worked from home instead of sit around eating chocolate in my undies. Dumb arse. There is also a big problem brewing at work and I am so tempted to pretend to be still sick.

A few weeks off Rustop woman? How freaking awesome. Timing's good too.

People keep talking about 'social distancing' as if it's a bad thing. I love it.

Ahh Brit, I've had a foot injury like that. It was incredibly painful and much more problematic than I ever imagined. Feet up girl.
