Thank for all your lovely comments I really do appreciate them all.
I received an email this morning to say that stroke club will be closed for the foreseeable future, four months at least. Fortunately the email arrived before I started to make the forty portions of syrup pudding.
I really worry about some of the carers who will now get no respite at all.
The jumble sale in April has also been cancelled.
I'm wondering if I need to start carrying my driving licence around with me if the over 70's are told to self isolate. That way I can prove I'm under 70.
Scrimping and saving, ranting and raving. Past retirement age.

Normal service is resumed
Life is proving erm complicated at the moment, I had a complete meltdown and almost tore someone's face off last week, some patronising twunt decided to lecture me, totally stupid to get upset by such idiocy but I have a short fuse. She was lecturing me about self care and whilst I know this is important it isn't always easy. She poo-pooed my explanation and informed me that the best thing I could do was have a nice long bubble bath, as we don't have a bath, just a shower, a bubble bath is impossible, so she told me I was just making excuses!
My DD2 who is bipolar is having a difficult time, she was trying so hard to have an amicable divorce but her ex has a new gf who is insisting on all out warfare, DD2 is, throughout this, trying to protect their children, the new gf wants to get married asap hence the warfare.
Steve needs constant encouragement otherwise he'll sit on his bum and do nothing, if I push he digs his heels in. He is desperate to stop going to stroke club.
It's beginning to look as though Beano cannot see well, this is making him scared and when scared he goes into attack mode, he doesn't bite but gets very growly and snarly. He is ok in daylight but when the light is fading he gets very scared of people he is usually pleased to see.
I went for a healing session last week, I'm trying to practice what I learnt.
I'm struggling to get out of bed, feel totally exhausted but I really need to get a grip.
I don't know if you remember my ex tenant, she is on a Facebook group I'm on, well karma is certainly biting her on the bum. So far she's had to move again and had to change letting agents, her car was written off by an uninsured driver, no injuries apart from the car. And now she's posting about being in serious debt. Even I'm now hoping karma gives her a break soon!

Howl
I'm having a bad couple of days, all I want to do is sit and howl.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Old school
Kate, your comment made me laugh as did Cols about floating off the marina when everywhere is flooded.
Today I found the Facebook page for my secondary school, it was great fun looking at the photo's.

Men versus women
Allegedly the post stroke personality change affects more men than women.
The gender split at stroke club is approximately 50/50.
There are at least four men at stroke club who can be unpleasant and difficult to deal with, Steve is never difficult at stroke club.
There is one woman at stroke club who is unpleasant and difficult.
As I didn't know any of these people pre-stroke I have no idea if their behaviour has been caused by their stroke.

Cuckoo
Some of my grand children call me cuckoo, probably because I'm a bit strange and batty.
Today we went to DD1's so Steve could work out what they need to repair their fence.
When my youngest grandson saw me he gave me a hug and said.
"Cuckoo, did you bring us anything with sugar in?"
I had a bag of jelly babies with me so each dgc had a few of them.
