Today started with a bang, literally, I took Beano out at sparrowfart o'clock as normal. He was just sniffing around, deciding which patch of grass to gift with his morning dump when someone fired a shotgun.
This happens a lot round here in posh Berkshire and Beano usually takes no notice. This time he took of towards home like a bat out of hell. Initially I thought he'd been hit as he was running on three legs, but on careful inspection I could find nothing and I think he just hurt his leg as he took off so fast. Beano was quite distressed, shaking and trembling, it was some time before he calmed down.
The day didn't get much better, Steve has a cold, lots of sneezing but no temperature, he is bad tempered and convinced he's at deaths door. Fortunately he spent the afternoon in bed which gave me a bit of a break. He wants me to buy a thermometer as he is convinced I'm lying about him not having a temperature.
This evening I was working on my tapestry when my phone rang. I put the tapestry needle down carefully on the table and answered my phone. Once I'd finished the call I looked for my needle, there was no sign of it. I do have others but needed to find it in case someone stood or sat on it.
Eventually I remembered that my phone case has a magnetic catch on it. Sure enough, there was the needle stuck to the case.
I'm not making scrubs because I'm generous, it's because I'm bored and desperately need things to fill my time.
Sewing Mamie, we could leave the marina but there are no mooring spaces available close enough. Usually all the boats move around but even the canal is now on lockdown
Scrimping and saving, ranting and raving. Past retirement age.

I realized all of my thermometers have been up a horse’s or dog’s butt and I couldn’t find any to buy..all sold out!
Hubby and I are not speaking because last night I told him that I was fed up of his continual monolog 're the virus , apparently I am in the wrong because I should want to listen to and discuss he situation continually . It is lovely and quiet today .
Lynda, that's exactly the sort of thermometer I need for Steve, one that's beef up a dogs arse!!
I too am a member of for the love of scrubs. I'm making the NHS kit bags, like you its keeping me busy. I'll move onto scrub caps after. There is a lady on there who is sending out pre cut scrubs ready to sew.
Sewing Mamie, mine keeps shaking his head and saying "it's going to get worse before it gets better" No shit Sherlock I'd worked that out for myself.
FIE, I'm hoping to get a couple of bags or hats out of the fabric as well.
Your comment about the sort of thermometer you need just had me crying with laughter. I hope things get better for you soon.
How about a meat thermometer. lol.
Tempting Shelly, very tempting!

Hang in there!
If your darling gets too difficult could you perhaps explain that you heard on the news that to build the immune system it may be advisable for him to self isolate in a tent in a field but not too far away as you would still then be able to take a meal for him once per day ? x
