Hi both xxx
Baz
I am sure you are exhausted after the op and trying to cope at home. Hope you are resting plenty though.

that's a shame they only do the prescription for a month and you need to pick it up. I know someone else are allowed to pick up for people, so what a good idea to get the taxi to collect. Did you just ring any taxi and ask them to do it? Did you have to tell the chemist you were doing this? As I would like to do this if possible.
I too am enrolled for Sainsburys delivery, but just can't seem to get an available slot.
Aaaww how sweet of your neighbour to offer to get you things.
Yes indeed you need full equipment to really protect yourself when you go in a shop/chemist now. I saw on tv, as well as gloves/mask, the best you can do is to remove outer clothing and straight in the wash when you get home, and leave shoes somewhere else for a few days. And of course wash hands before touching anything at all when you get home.
Yes the hot water tank was a cylinder thing in a cupboard on the landing. I am glad to say the plumber has fixed it.
So we were lucky he could get a part.
Thanks for the veg hints. I read them to OH.
I got my dried milk off amazon as I am avoiding going to the supermarket and couldn't get a delivery till next month.
The Windsors is a comedy take off of the Royal family. The way they impersonate them is so funny.
Yes poor Chantelle never got over Preston. She is getting on age wise now, so makes you wonder if she will stay single forever now as no one else will measure up to him in her eyes?
We too have been lucky and got the summer weather. Enjoyed reading my book on the swingchair. The dog enjoyed a sunbathe too. OH was busy putting the soil stuff into bags, he was sieving it.
You have been busy today but it is not good to skip food all day, especially if you are doing physical work as it gives low blood sugar level, so take care.
What plant feeds do you use? Would they be of use to OH with his potatoes or carrots?
Yes its great that the forecast is showing a dry period but as you say , that means you need to sort out the watering system.
My birthday today and what a weird (but nice) one it was....as no cards in the post, despite the fact my elderly family always send one, but they couldn't this this year, as they can't get out. No meal out of course, and couldn't pop over to neighbour for coffee and a card. But it was great, as she put some "Happy Birthday" banners and my name in her window for me to see. Daughter made a cake using some left over pineapple we already had, and some home made bread for brekkie, as we are short of bread. So despite being different, it was good. OH bought me a polaroid camera, so that will be fun. (when we can go somewhere that is!). 
Just shared a glass of rose with OH, don't drink wine very often.
Goodnight both xxx
