I am...

ready!  
For some strange reason the husband who is the conventional one of us is kicking against the government ruling for us oldies to self isolate. I wouldn’t mind but he is the one with the flaming cough!  Yesterday bossy boots, me decided that he should stay home, the Sunday paper ritual we could do without.  We already have it on our iPads so what is the fuss about?  
Today, himself was saying I have only got until Wednesday until the seven days are up and I can get on with my normal life.  This afternoon that all changed when Boris announced we now have to stay home for fourteen days if one in the family has the symptoms.  The funny thing is, it is usually me kicking against any sort of rules and regulations.
I totally get it!  We must all do our bit in order to crack this thing.


My only worry now is, do you think I might be getting a tiny bit sensible?  I do hope not!

    1. I am honestly more worried by that than by this blooming ghastly pandemic!

  3. For some reason, of late I have read a good deal of new literature on Britain in the war. I am gobsmacked! All that got you through the battle of Britain, before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and kicked Roosevelt and this country into the war was everyone together.

    1. Not a chance of that happening now I think! Hold tight LL you are now being sensible... Of course we will all do as we are told!
      I have just this morning wandered around the garden, the only noise you can hear is nothing, even the weir has stopped burbling or should I say of late...ROARING! Life as we know it has ceased. Stay safe Joanne.

  4. Perhaps the way to look at it is that being sensible is a symptom of this andy pandy and it will all go back to normal in good time? It's quite amazing though, the world has become a much quieter place! Not as many cars or people around. When I walk the dog we meet no-one. I wonder when all the other dogs go out now! I hope hubby's cough gets better soon and your sensibility sorts itself out lol. xx

    1. That I must confess with a very energetic young collie was my biggest fear, not being able to take her for a walk. Yesterday on Clee Hiil we met a couple we got to know at the rescue centre we got Ellie from. What was the first thing we all did? Hug and kiss... Errr!?! We went up there mainly because we all love it so much, more importantly to get away from folk and what is the first flaming thing we do? I ask you? Is there any hope... Nay!
      The cough is still here, he I ought to say is morphing into me, meanwhile I am becoming by the second more measured, more sensible, dare I say more like him, MORE flipping boring!?! This virus is working in strange ways. Oooh err!

  5. It is interesting who is most resisting and who is not... I'm glad that The Man and I are on the same wave length about it, so no push back, since being the full time Caregiver I have to enforce and make the Rules of the household. Our Medically fragile Teen Grandchild we're raising is also being sensible and responsible about it, guess she doesn't want it to kill myself or Grandpa off and then what would become of her? I think you and I could still be Rebels and yet do the Right thing at this present unprecedented time... I'll always be a part of the Right Resistance! *Winks*

    1. Rebels without a cause... now maybe should read WITH, and rightly so! You do seem to have a lot of responsibilities, staying true to your rebel leanings if only in your mind is the way forward I feel. The main thing is ...BE SAFE!

A year has gone by...

and the sourdough saga continues, nothing much changes, apart maybe my level of frustration at my tarnished bread making skills of a ferment...
