oh dear, sorry you had a bad night with IBS. 
That's horrible. Glad it eased today and hope you have a better night tonight.
Gosh I had forgotten what you said about your forum friends being so ill. I too had had the flu jab, so knew what I had wasn't that. All very odd, but I too am suspicious there was some sort of early similiar virus going round before China named it. I read scientists believe there was an earlier type and now the newer type..S and L type I think it said, but too complicated other than that. Yes it is not worth the risk of you travelling into town (especially as you need a bus) unless you really need something. Hope you have some hand gel to take out with you if you need to go out.

Sorry to hear your eyes seem to be getting worse. Let's hope it is temporary and improves again.
Didn't realise the fire wood had to be dry for a whole 2 years.
You did well getting the seed spuds planted, and the summerhouse work too...good job we have had a bit of a day spell. Hope you get chance to finish off the summerhouse stuff soon.
I think you are right and to wear disposable gloves is a good option right now, we bought plenty from Costco. At the least it is a reminder to keep your hands off your face.
OH went to Asda last night, and he noticed they had gel, foam and kiddy gel at the entrance for shoppers to help themselves before entering the store.
We are avoiding busy places, so we went to the seafront with the dog again. Unfortunately it started to rain , so OH had to rush back to get the car to pick us and the dog in the doggie pram too, so we all didn't get soaked.
We collected our tea from the chippie tonight. Me and son had cheese rissole and chips. other son had fishcake, and daughter and OH had fish and chips. Delcious.
Watched "Vera" tonight. I thought of Emtybox as he always watched it.
Have a good evening both . xxx
