I do enjoy my cooking. My sisters in the UK tell me that baked beans have disappeared from the supermarket shelves where they live so I sent them a link to the recipe I followed. Here it is https://www.healthylittlefoodies.com/healthy-baked-beans/ I am desperately short of fuel oil and emailed my supplier last Monday and I had a reply this morning -- they are coming between noon and 2 pm today which is good because it is so cold and wet here. Thankfull for small mercies.

Glad that they are on their way with some fuel.
How is the essay going
 
Had a bit of a time of it this week...mum taken to a&e with chest pains...she ok now. I found a lump in my breast at the weekend, had a scan and mammogram, fortunately it's just a cyst. Twisted my ankle today tripping over the cat! It's really sore.

Sorry to hear you have had one thing after another. Hope your ankle recovers quickly.

Sorry to hear you have had such a rough week.
Glad that you got your results so quickly and that your Mum is okay now.

I hope your ankle feels better soon.
 
Up early for a supermarket shop today. Lots of sensible measures in place and the shelves were well stocked. People keeping their distance too. Much better!
 
I ventured out to the local shops just now. I was the only customer in the butcher’s but in the deli there was an oldish man (probably 60-70) with a mask and an 'I’m all right Jack’ attitude, bumbling around the shop, he physically pushed past me at one point! He ignored the chorus of '6ft apart' from the staff member, me and the only other customer. As I left, he’d stepped outside to take a call on his mobile, and was standing talking on it in the shop doorway, blocking up both the butchers and deli doors! Unbelievable!

Eeek! Sorry to hear about your poorly ankle, and the scare you’ve had with your mum.

Glad it turned out to be a cyst for you - you’ve really been going through it haven’t you! And just at the point when really the last thing you want to have to do is have any requirement for medical/hospital help 😱
 
Had to manage do my front garden, around the recycling collections. When they were all done, I went did it that it is done for another day. I had to my back gardening, once the children next door had gone in from playing football.
 
Still very up and down, never thought I would be glad of work as a distraction. Had a nice chat with my colleague in Detroit who is having similar anxiety issues as me, we do the same job, I am the EU co-ordination and she is the US co-ordination, but it did help.

But on a positive note mum and dad got most of their home delivery today, just hand wash, long life milk and baked beans missing. So daughter and hubby going to try on their weekly shopping trips.

Glad you’ve managed to connect with your colleague.

You have my sympathies. But you still need treatment so ring 111, they understand that other illness haven't stopped because of the Covid virus.
 
just a quick update, after seeing advice on here i have contacted the 111 service, only took nearly 2 hours to get through but i am now on a call back list for a doctor to speak with me.

have been using catheters for many years and knew straight away this morning that i was having classic uti symptoms.

medication now issued by the 111 doctors.
 
Just been informed that, in my tiny village, a family of 10 people are in isolation because they have the virus. It is assumed that they are amongst the gypsy community because only gypsies here live in such large households. Sounds racist I know but with the scarcist information available people will presume.
