Re the advice to freeze milk . . . . .     
"DO NOT FREEZE GLASS!"

I forgot to say I get milk in one litre plastic containers,but thanks for the
reminder.
Just looking at my freezer book re the veges I will be doing today, blanching etc ,and think I might be short of freezer bags, you see no forward thinking!
I like to do individual portions ,but at a push could do them in bigger bags as you can buy them .
I can see wartime  Woolton pie on the menu !
I could get  my gas mask out, put tape on the windows, fish out the blackout curtains , dig for victory, be like dad - keep mum, etc etc etc
Why am I getting a strong sense of deja vu?
Keep smiling folk, and as has been said, how very grateful we are for the laughs, news, help, support and friendship of RootsChat.
Jokes always welcome .

Our schoolchildren have a half day on a Friday in Edinburgh but there were not so many going to school today. Some parents must have decided not to send them.

When folks are out of our usual routine at any age it can be confused.com - nothing to do with age.

That sounds like a good idea to plant your primroses later in the day when someone who is passing might have a wee chat with you.

Take care,

If you're desperate for milk but have some evap in the cupboard  - use 1 part evap to 1.5 parts water.

I don't like milk but I used to like evap on tinned fruit or apple crumble in the olden days

Viktoria you should give yourself a pat on the back for being so well organised and for your cheery posts. You make us all smile

Now that milk seems to be in short supply round here , I have realised how much milk we actually use. Presumably other half and I have good bones though.
I'm not sure why there's a lack of milk as the cows don't have covid19, though I recognise the farmers might, but the cows still need milking or they'll be poorly with mastitis or similar x

People have been bulk buying and freezing or even letting it go off.

Even in the late 60s / early 70s when I was a teenager, 25 years after the war ended, if ever I or my siblings were going out the door, my mother, a young teenager during the war, would enquire whether we had our gas mask and tin helmet. It used to drive me crazy.

I must admit apart from my happy shopping trip this morning I read in the media how selfish people are, there is no need to panic buy and make shortages, they keep telling us that, some are buying up freezers to accommodate their over buying, selfish selfish people when there is no need

Some Rootschatters might be interested

Justin Welby is broadcasting  a special service on Sunday at 8am if your churches aren't open for the normal church goers

My church is open but we are expected to sit part from everyone else, not difficult in my opinion but we have to be sensible
