Corona Cavern

[Nicos]

Just heard that buying of fruit and veg plants/seedlings is -or has already- been ok'd here!!!
That might mean I can get hold of some potting compost!!

We're in for another Macron speech tomorrow evening, so that'll be interesting.

[Containergardener]

Really hope that happens here.

What do you think of Macon?

[Nicos]

He seems sincere and factual -I certainly feel safer in his hands than at least 2other 'leaders' I could mention.
But we need to stay politics free on here so I'll say no more

My strawberry tree still hasn't arrived. It was supposed to come late March. I just hope it wasn't dispatched and dying in some holding area.
Maybe now it can be delivered????

Himself and my neighbours have seen 3 deliveries by Trashco today, all to houses who have never had one and none of them vulnerable. Pah I've told my over 80 neighbours to extend their list from what they need to what they want.

^^^^ I cant even get a slot ..OH will have to go.to.supermarket tomorrow . Not so bad that I need prescription anyway , not ideal . Even ringing tesco about vulnerable slots it cut me off.
Because they are saying dont go out and one in / one out everyone has gone online. How do.ill and elderly stay up. I struggle.past 9.30 now. Will have to see if OH can have a go.

[Mamzie]

I actually had an email from Tesco's today to say they and added me to their vulnerable list which is a relief. When I go to book delivery the Flexi slots have turned into priority slots now. Still none available but I have mine booked for this week and next which is for us and my parents shopping.

It's a huge relief as in Wales and up til now they didn't have any information on the Wales list for supermarkets x

Shattered now. Dogs are asleep . One by the fire in her usual place (oldest dog), younger lay other side of the room.
Gave them both play time in the garden.. 2 different games for each. Throw balls further for youngest, oldest likes to catch them without youngest stealing it.

[Jay22]

To get these ‘vulnerable’ slots, do you have to be an existing customer?

[Containergardener]

I think you can still register now. I tried to sign mjm to sainsbury but arnt taking new customers yet. It's about getting the government letter you have to sign up on . Once signed.up you should be contacted . I havnt been as yet, others neither.
It's all a bit slow ..not just the shopping lark.

[Jay22]

Thanks CG, I got my letter the other day, didn’t expect to get one but hey ho!! Although my OH can get to supermarket, I worry about what he might bring back and I don’t mean groceries!!

[Containergardener]

^^^^I know what you mean. OH doing the supermarket today. Though i asked my brother who goes in and he said it's been very quiet when he has been , no queues. We shall see.

[Containergardener]

So its grey today. Food shopping is todays task for OH (also some for mum) . This afternoon perhaps some gardening.

Kettles on it anyone wants a brew ...
