Anti Dementors Party Planners Meet Here

[ThatLibraryMiss]

Wanted to make the new thread quickly to get the link onto the last page of the previous one!

I've seen friends (family all live far away). But yeah, been seeing friends pretty much the whole time, usually outside as the weather's been great.

I've stuck to the rules mostly. Except I've seen DP in my house a few times, but sitting at opposite ends of the sofa (apart from a brief hug hello and goodbye)

TBH, if ds1 hadn't kicked up such a stink about it, I'd probably have been having The Sex too As it is, I have to wait until BoJo explicitly says we're allowed to have people in the house before I'll get nookie again.

And I fear he'll never actually say that. So I have to wait until ds1 either goes on a potential 3 week training course in July, or until he moves out (he says) in August.

Funny- if it had been XH or any of the other men I've been with, it wouldn't have bothered me. But I finally found someone I really really fancied, we've been together four years but just not able to live together yet- and I am missing the sex hugely

Lilac, I reported the thread as goady shite, possibly dlciting being not in the spirit, though I'd had a few, too. It got deleted because it had no merit. No point in keeping any of it.

I pressed op for examples and got none.

I miss John Lewis. It:s so orderly.M&S has become my default shop and while useful, for food and clothing and kitchen essentials, is not orderly. Even now!

They never implemented an impossible one way system, though, and never stopped interdependent elderly couples from shopping together and, for that, I salute them.

Oh I want to go to John Lewis too!! Waaah!
I just cannot wait for things to start going back to normal and I'm hoping enough sane people start to cautiously go back to some semblance of normality, that it will show the dementors that they're utterly lacking in any perspective and predominantly, bonkers. Then we can look back on all their bollocks and laugh. EG a thread I'm on, last night one wrote 'it's simple, isolate and live, or socialise and die!'
Give me strength!

I was t able to have a go at the dementors on my local Fb page when we got back home last night as comments had been turned off.
That bloody annoys me.
This was all to do with people enjoying themselves at the beach and still the car parks are closed.
So pleased we took ourselves off to the lakes. It was so lovely. Roads were very quiet. I know everyone is hurting, hospitality business wise, but just very sad to see all these places shut.
We were over at beginning of feb and it was really busy compared to now.
Keswick had a few stragglers on the street. People looking lustfully in shop Windows . I just drove past on our way to the stone circle.
We didn’t go to windermere this time. I would have liked but didn’t have the time.
Our country is so beautiful and I’m very fortunate to have been round most of it . I do hope it recovers.

It will Dowser don't worry. It will.

Here's the bit about Weston hospital that isn't being mentioned in the weeping and wailing about plague ridden visitors

The problem with shopping (apart from the obvious, queues, distancing, hissing, masks etc) is I don't think we are allowed to try things on or use changing rooms, and returns need to be quarantined as well.

I guess this would go for shoes too. I may well end up doing it all online, measuring DCs feet etc as well. They have annoyingly side feet and fussy about shoes anyway.

I’m very hopeful Delta.
I love my country so much. Warts and all. It’s just so Beautiful. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.
We really have it all.
Just look at the beauty here from yesterday

I should’ve said castlerigg stone circle above keswick and two views of derwentwater taken from the path that leads from the very closed theatre on the lake.

Weeds so 40% of staff were testing positive and thought to be a risk to patients, yes I see makes sense. Not just patents coming in with it. Also it is very small.

Still very few cases in SW in general I think. very few in Bath- we never really had a peak at all

Orangeblossom I think 8 new cases in North Somerset yesterday. Cases, not admissions or deaths.
Yet the hospital mysteriously has doubled its number of cases? All due to people "flocking" to the beach from the Midlands last weekend?
I don't buy that.
There were 6 reported cases from 11th May up until the beginning of last week ( forget which day I checked). People are not catching it in the community and becoming hospitalised at that rate in a few days.

Look at this seems the Scots want to stay locked down and think Nippy has handled it well...totally missing that she chose when to lock down and they felt it was 'too late' and also the bad care homes situation up there.

Weeds before lockdown here in Bath we had crowds of tourists from all over as usual in busloads also commuters from London, the Bath half etc and we never had many cases...it all seems much more complex than just people visiting doesn't it.

@Dowser what beautiful photos, I would love to go to the Lakes right now. Have you been to the pencil museum, by the way?

@Dowser ah youve made me well up over me coffee!! One of the most (if not the most) beautiful spots in the world imho.
We will be fine. It's hard to imagine it now but this will pass. Sorry, maybe I should use Dementor language - this will PASS!!!

and I hope we do not have to have these...

Well if we do I'm not talking my 4 yr old out. They're bloody terrifying!!

I think those masks are actually useful in settings where masks need to be worn e. g. hospitals ( provides they are medical grade) not just for Coronavirus, but in general, as not being able to see the mouth is an issue for the deaf and hard of hearing.

For driving a car, or walking down the road?
Not so much!

I see the reason for them but find them terrifying and think children would too

also you can hardly see the mouths

As for breaking the rules - it's taken me a while to figure out who the anti-dementors are among my friends. Finally managed to find some and we all went and sat in the park on Sunday which was lovely.

Unfortunately the rest are still in full frothing mode saying things like "has everyone forgotten WE'RE IN A PANDEMIC!" and "why are they opening shops? The idea of going shopping makes me feel sick".

The fomo is going to come and bite them hard soon!

Apparently the level of infection in the UK is now below that required to meet the definition of an epidemic.

Some people are enjoying living in a (very boring version of) a disaster movie way too much.
