I'm living in an episode of Dad's Army!
Steve is alternating between barking orders at me like Captain Mainwaring, panicking like Corporal Jones or predicting doom like Private Frazer!
I'm trying to keep him calm and keep myself busy, I have the tapestry I showed you yesterday, I have a massive net petticoat that I shall turn into tutus, some towels and men's shirts to cut up and edge to make face wipes with and some small bags to embroider to make into spell bags.
I only wish I could find something that Steve would do apart from scrolling through Facebook and getting stressed.
I do periodically make him get offline but he has nothing else to take its place.
I would like to meditate more and study the cards but I cannot concentrate, I unjoined (yes I know there is no such word, but you know what I mean) a couple of Facebook boaters groups as I couldn't cope with the stupidity and hysteria. Unfortunately Steve is still a member and is constantly reading out all the posts I was trying to avoid!
Scrimping and saving, ranting and raving. Past retirement age.

Would he consider doing a jigsaw, maybe start one together if that would help? (Now I've got a vision of the jigsaw and board being flung overboard when Steve gets angry with it!!!)
Would he read magazines of his favourite interests? Paint a picture? (He may have a hidden talent . . . )
The weather seems to be brightening a bit - could he plant up some pots or troughs to adorn 'Chocolat'?
Next?
How about a craft using wood, either from a kit or something he creates himself by gathering sticks?
Can Steve perhaps grow a few vegetables in pots to help now we are having difficulty with supplies.Some men like to be hunter gatherer don't they? x
No suggestions, but sending good vibes.
i am wondering if there will be a special clause for murdering partner during confinement due to National Emergency ? im sure there will be a huge jump in divorces ..lol
Gosh. He needs to feel in control of something and the only thing he can think of to try to control is you! Praying for you both.
Would he perhaps listen to audio books?
