Anti Dementors Party with Patronii

[LilacTree1]

Are you out there, my lovelies?

I'm despairing. I can't find anyone who is willing to meet up with DD until we're allowed and I'm just so sad for her. I've been completely tipped over the edge today. I have never felt like this before. I just hate this life.

@Dowser - very jealous that you got Blondie! I always aspired to be Debbie Harry.

I was born in the mid-sixties so I can remember the 3 day week during the miners' strike. Schools were supplied with portacabins, heated by portable gas fires (H&S be damned!) and kids were only able to go to school 3 days out of 5. In the absence of online anything, I remember being given paper workbooks with specific tasks to complete at home. I think it went on for a good two months.

I rang an elderly friend today (she'll be 90 at Christmas) and she said that her family had come over from the Lakes to see her - first time since lockdown. All she wanted was a cuddle. She then said that she would rather die than live like this for another 18 months.

Sorry, I’ve got to ask, can someone explain what a dementor is?

So mum is now very wobbly on her legs because she hasn't left the flat for a week other than short runs to the shops (about 150 yards away) and has lost a good deal of her confidence in walking. (She uses a 3-wheeled walker.)
GP has told her she will just have to sit it out with the sciatica.
She's very sad and very lonely. I'm her carer so I go to her flat every day. What say you, fellow murderers? Hit the fuck-it button and have her over for Sunday lunch? IN THE HOUSE??

I need 🍷

Update from ds2's school and it's looking unlikely that we'll get any respite, next term. They're only taking in a few extra pupils and not until the 8th, at the earliest.

DS's teacher rang him today. She told me the desks set up at school look so clinical and sad. And that children are starting to suffer emotionally at our school This whole thing makes me so angry for the children.

On a positive note, this weekend's murdering will encompass 2 takeaways, meeting a friend and her 6yo, a long bike ride including a takeaway coffee, kingfisher spotting and meeting up with DS's best friend.

I would, @Cattermole

Any other time, a gp would be considered negligent for allowing someone to lose their mobility.

Cattermole of course have her round

Can’t the GP give painkillers?,

I realise it’s not the fault of the GP if scans aren’t being done. Write to the hospital trust maybe?

Do it @Cattermole

NU “ All she wanted was a cuddle. She then said that she would rather die than live like this for another 18 months.”

Of course.

But I don't see how they are spreading it as in vans /tents...www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-52770695

She has yet to have an actual examination, PickAChew. She's been asking for one since March but apparently it's not a priority "till all this is over".
He's offering her strong opiate-based painkillers. FFS. She's a recovering alcoholic. She's been out of residential rehab for 12 months after 50 years of addiction. I actually could go round and kick him in the balls, honestly I could.

To answer your question...some who sucks the fun out of life and wants you to have as miserable existence as them....or the bad guys in the Harry Potter books (I think, I've never read them or watched the films to be fair so I could be wrong about that),. We tend to see them of with facts, statistics and a hefty does of sarcasm.

Do it cattermole

How come we are never in trending are we dodgy or something? Guess it is for the best though

Wales “ I'm despairing. I can't find anyone who is willing to meet up with DD until we're allowed and I'm just so sad for her. I've been completely tipped over the edge today. I have never felt like this before. I just hate this life.”

So sorry. In a similar position myself in that I can’t get anyone who matters to me to meet up. I think my bestie might do it next week though.

does? doses obviously.

I would have her round Cattermole. Also some pilates might help I have some for back pain very simple- called Pilates healing bible you could get it on Amazon perhaps. Has really simple exercises.

I've found the figures I wanted now!

In Essex the total number of cases is 3107 which is 210 per 100,000 so 0.21 % of people

Total deaths are 1169 which is 64 per 100,000 or 0.064%

To be fair NHS pain clinics can be a bit rubbish sometimes all about getting on with it and living with the pain...hmm

@LilacTree1 it’s a really lonely place to be. Hope that your best friend does. I feel so let down by mine.

Just went for a 2 hour drive, alone. I adore my kids but 10 weeks solid with 3 under 7... I needed some headspace. Waiting for DH to finish his last work call then just went. Music on full blast, windows open and drove.
Got home and still feel like shit. Didn’t help at all.

I feel compelled to tell you all that I had a TAKE AWAY coffee today, and A MUFFIN. Yes, both. A coffee made by someone ELSE for the first time in 10 weeks. Thanks to Muffin Break.

I can't decide whether I am more happy about that, or more pissed off that life is reduced to this.
