Happy Easter all! Enjoy
Glad to see that everyone is still fine.
Lola is still self isolating and refusing to stay out in the garden even though we've had some lovely sunny days. He has been venturing a little further from his hide each day though so maybe by September he'll want to spend more time outdoors!
We could do with some rain now as its been dry for a few weeks and a forest fire was started by some kids last week. Thankfully there was no wind so it didn't spread too far, but what low life to do that and they should have been at home!
I have been having a good sort out and have a heap of rubbish to get rid of but nowhere to take it as the dumps are all shut.
I can't see an end to all this for along time and I don't think anyone has worked out how we can get back to normal. Two of my nieces are working on covid wards and its a worry. Very upsetting for them that they can't save everyone, so decisions are having to be made about who gets a ventilator and lives. I have asthma so it's unlikely they'll save me, so as bad as it is I'm staying home!!!
Stay safe everyone!!!

I agree, I hope not because this will lead to some job loss, and it will be the team members, who needs the job the worst, I don't know but I believe humen contact is so important, nothing wrong with taking extra care about personal space and being mindful when sick and cleaning our hand, etc, bit this scares me, because I don't want to live in a world where we are scared of our community, and don't go out, communication with others and face to face , is important for our soul, most of us or hard wired to be with others, in something way or another,
I hope the hospital that put that out meant it to be a suggestion and not a cure. Rose's friend is a nurse there. She works in the dialysis department so she isn't in the war zone.
She is back to normal. We will try getting my liner on my leg tonight so I can try some walking tomorrow with my walker. Video to follow!

If it's outdoors , then you will , a linner, of some kind, you can get a kiddy pool or a tarp, or a plastic premade pond, depends on the size you need, but no matter what size you go with make sure they can get in and out on there own, dig a hole, the size you need, and put the linner in, and double check before adding water that the torts and in fact get out, then add water, I would recommend gettttg a water fall that pumps water back though helps keep bugs down, , if you get freezing weather you need to be able to dumb the water before it freezes, and pulling the linner so it doesn't freeze and be damaged

Wow. That is quite the achievement.
Hi everyone
Sorry I have been absent for a while. No excuses apart from trying not to be on the internet too much.
We are all fit and well. Our pond has its first critters... two pond skaters (insects). It isn’t planted yet as advice is to do it in May for a better chance of the plants establishing properly.
Today’s fascinating chore has been sanding the outdoor furniture so it can be re-oiled.
Hope all is well in the CDR

Well, you need to shop online at chewy.com. Before the virus thing chewy does free two day delivery if you spend more than $49. And they have everything you need for your dogs and cats. They deliver right to your door. It's taking a little longer now, with the pandemic, but it's still better than going to the store for it.
I felt the same as you about wanting to pick out my own groceries, but I was completely satisfied with the way "Christopher" shopped for me. And the substitutions he made were the same as what I would have made.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNING!!! I left the house at 7a to go to the post office to pick up my mail. There was little to no traffic, and there was no one at the P.O. I got my mail, then stopped by the store for eggs and butter (I want to make some brownies). There were only about 5 people at the store, and all the clerks were wearing masks. They even had a clerk outside wiping down the shopping carts with germ killer.
When I got back home, and after I fed and watered the tortoises, I took my generic weedeater out to the horse paddocks and knocked down some weeds until the battery lost its power. Then I chopped them with the shovel until my back lost its power. I'm all out of generic Round-up, or I would be out there spraying weed killer on those pesky weeds!
(I wonder if my generic Round-up will give me generic cancer. . .)

Happy Easter All.
Given the COVID crackdown, our Easter Basket is less full than normal. We had more time to decorate the eggs this year to hop things up a wee bit...
Advisory - no N95 masks were ruined during this episode.

I cooked a slow roast lamb shoulder for dinner this evening. It was amazing! It was in the oven 5 hours, but it was worth it.
