State of Emergency, Coronavirus (part 2)

[nanny jan]

Pubs and cafes in my area of Dorset are advertising take away services on local Facebook pages, one way to add variety to 'store cupboard meals'.

Colleague of my daughter’s in London is working from home in a flatting situation where the flat mates are also working from home. They can hear each other’s conversations. So are playing this bingo which I don’t think is their invention, but you can see how it might help with tensions.

You are understandably worried about your son Carol especially as he is so far away from you.

Take care,

Dorrie

Thanks Dorrie, Yes it is a worry that he may not get home, he has a scheduled flight home in just over two weeks time but if the USA close internal flights, he may not get his connecting flight from Chicago to Heathrow. The RAF is insisting that he continues the training of the recruits for as long as possible, they are young lads whose parents will obviously be worried too and want their sons home asap.
Worrying times for us all.
Stay Safe.
Carol

Shower gel... body wash.....

Nick, "following a French model" sounds like an excellent idea.

Be careful, her boyfriend might be a young policeman.

Mart - Viktoria won't be too pleased with you if you do that. Although only yesterday she was hoping to nab a young policeman to escort her home --- so yes - get your own back!

The UK police don't (yet) have the powers to fine people on the spot, so being escorted home might still be an option. But Viktoria needs to get a move on as I think the emergency legislation coming later this week will give the Police peacetime powers none of us have ever seen the like of in the UK.

Hang on, you forget I am a pre war model!
Would the measures be even more draconian?
Things are really getting serious, I am running out of essentials like hand cream, !

Appointment with Consultant  at Eye Clinic on Thursday.
Phoned today to ask if I should  cancel ,but told to attend  in case all is not as good as it should be.
Feel so concerned for those of our RootsChatters who have miles to travel for very serious conditions to be treated.
Got a PM from one and  was appalled at the length and complexity of their journey for treatment.


I live very near a cemetery as I mentioned, never anyone in early morning so I wonder if it will be alright to take a stroll ,just to keep up with walking about .
When I had the dog we would go there for her short morning walk,almost never met anyone .
I am stir crazy, running up the walls, been in more or less since 10 th January.-
Was looking forward to running amok and shouting in at the undertakers ‘ -“Have you got any empty boxes?”.( favourite past time of naughty boys in Manchester.)
Will have to behave myself  for a while longer.Boring!
Hope every one is well and stays well.

Following a French model ——hmmm !
Better to have a French widow in every bedroom ( Gerard Hoffnung’s  letter from a French hotelier,whose English was not too good)
Well we do not lack for laughs on RootsChat, keep it up !
Cheerio, Viktoria.

By the way!I am mortally insulted that no one twigged  my post re Robin Hood and the Little John!
You know , the car rental - WILL’S  CAR LET- Will Scarlet!!!
Oh I give up ,( many wish I would!)

[Pennines]

Never give up Viktora - it wouldn't be the same without you.

And remember -- you will have to keep your distance from the policeman -- and Mart will have to keep his distance from any French model he hopes to follow.

Hope all goes well with your eye appointment.

[dowdstree]

I get the joke now Viktoria - getting a bit slow these days.

It should be fine for you to have a wee stroll through the graveyard as long as you keep your distance from people ha ha ha

You have a great fighting spirit and will never give up so carry on posting 

At least the hospital will be an outing for you.
