Hi All. How is everyone doing? Anyone stuck indoors? Remember, this is a support group, and things don't always need to be medical. There is usually someone here if you just want a chat, a moan, or any stories. My wife has been stocking up on paint, so guess what I will be doing in the near future. Best wishes.
Speaking of tins, we did a victuals audit yesterday to check how long we can survive without going shopping, assuming the shelves have been filled. Someone has been buying tinned peaches regularly and not using them. If push comes to shove, I'll be making peach liqueur as a hand sanitizer.
I'm off into the shed to build my own pot still out of the rubbish in the corner that never gets looked at. If you hear a loud bang from the Wiltshire direction, it'll be me.

Our ducks have started laying, so we're OK for eggs. We usually have to give loads away - perhaps will have to creep out at night & leave boxes on a few doorsteps...
Ah CB you must've seen that on TV about the lady who made her husband a new leg as his assessment for a prosthetic limb was cancelled by the hospital. I was well impressed!
How kind Teasswill, I thought about doing it with baked beans but I only have 1 tin in stock now. I've been trying the cheap Lidl & Tesco ones for 22p, but I've been putting them into my mixes as I call them to make the food go further.
take care all xxx
Hi All. Well, I have given up on the beard and had a shave. Just made me look old and feel old. My wife said if I sat in the shopping centre, people would throw money at me. Stay safe everyone. Best wishes.
rily, me too! I saw something glistening in the sunlight as I peered through the mirror, just a few stray hairs in a straight line that I'd obviously missed over a number of weeks
.
Nipped out for bread, had to practically do the lumbago to keep away from the shop assistant, should that be the limbo? .
So the PM has the virus
Well, I have been waiting for weeks for my referral to urology about my ever growing hydrocele. It is not classed as urgent, so I won't be chasing them up at this time. Not urgent for them maybe, but for me, it feels like I am carrying a five pound bag of spuds in my undies. Still, if the worse comes to the worst, I can always get myself a wheelbarrow. . Stay safe everyone and keep smiling. Best wishes.
I almost feel your pain - a chum of mine had a vasectomy. I caught up with him a week later, he was walking like John Wayne, and asked how his 'comestibles' were faring. He said one was the size of an orange and the other was bloody enormous!
#He wheels his wheel barrow, through streets broad and narrow# but only once a day for exercise or going to the shops.
