Patronii in person, anti Dementors visit the zoo

[ISaySteadyOn]

Never started a long running thread before but I figure even lurkers should take a turn. Hope the title ok.

By last winter I mean he hasn’t had a cold since around January.

I spoke to my friend yesterday whose husband is an NHS doctor and he thinks lockdown is utter bollocks and can't understand why we're doing it for an illness that the vast majority of people would survive. Interesting perspective.

Well, they let people out and about saying it was very low chance of catching it outside at all, very very rare so not sure why they keep going on about people outside still. It's a bit weird.

Interesting about the doctor, yes I guess they get it in perspective as seeing so many illnesses on varying scales of severity so get it more in perspective. If you spend most days with people diagnosing e.g. cancer or MS...

I've taken to going to Tesco's, picking up the un-wiped trollies and encouraging her to lick the handles.

🤣🤣

We came across 2 people wearing masks in the local (reasonably sized) shop last week and DS plastered himself against my legs as 'they must be sick'. He asked last night if he'd have to wear a mask. I said hopefully not. In all honestly I couldn't think of anything worse. He's 5 so his hands would be all over it fiddling all the time. I've never managed to achieve hat and gloves wearing in winter. They're on&off constantly. This whole thing is so depressing.

All flights ..near shaftesbury. How I miss it
Such a beautiful county. I have three friends in Dorset/ Wiltshire area
We love to spend a day at Glastonbury , I’m a proper hippie, have the hips to prove it and a day at Salisbury

Weeds, we flew to Tenerife in early December round about the time my dd took Ill
End of January We had three day at our caravan
Beginning of February we had three days at Windermere
Beginning of March flew back to Tenerife and were evacuated after two weeks..seems like a dream now
Just before total lockdown went back to caravan, N Yorks, for three days to check on it, and get heating repaired and had to come home on account of lockdown

So we’ve had a good old mooch around and been fine.

I’ve had lots of other things. Toothache and kidney infection for which I’m treating with natural remedies.
I’m now making And drinking my own Colloidal silver.

I do think our two sunshine holidays ( we were also there in October) have helped to boost our immune systems

I made my 4 year old a mask from some toy story fabric, just in case.

@NowImLivinInExeter My thoughts exactly. I just do not understand it, maybe I'm missing something.

Exeter, I wish your dr friend would speak to cousins husband.
I just ended up laughing it off
Best way
He can be a controlling arse at times

I’ve seen some Frozen masks on Etsy that I’m going to order for my DD’s, just in case they’re needed. They seem quite excited by the idea.

I dreamed I gave my mum a hug the other night. I’ve never had a dream like it. I miss her so much. FaceTime just isn’t the same at all.

I just want this to be over now.

Also, my grandad died last year after years of decline with dementia. It was horrific. He lived in a home for the last few years. It was a nice home, excellent staff but the condition of him by the end was incredibly distressing. I genuinely don't believe people should be kept alive like that. He would have been horrified if he'd been aware. He had a good job, continued to wear a suit every day even after he retired, had hobbies, a social life. By the end (which was dragged out for years) he had violent outbursts towards the staff, no ability to care for himself, didn't know who we were. It was truly awful. I've no intention of letting myself go the same way. Neither has my dad.

Nicola took to lecturing the young people who seem to be out having fun and mingling in Scotland

No one feels their pain more than Nicola but if the young people don’t stop having fun. That’s it. Back to strict lockdown

The young people apparently could take it back to their families and everyone will die

Dementor in chief she is

@bakingcupcakes It's cruelest disease isn't it. Completely changes personalities. My friends dad is in a home with late stage dementia, she said getting CV would be the kindest thing.

I wouldn’t worry about your babies not being ill.
They must have a good immune system.
Switching itself on and off as and when as they are meant to
My dr said their immune systems aren’t fully developed until they are two
I wish I’d asked her a bit more about the meaning of that. Until then they get their immune systems from their mothers.
Belle savage you must be somewhere nice
It’s cold and grumpy in the ne

I think today is the day I hit the wall!

So fed up with all of this, it's totally unnecessary. My kids are missing out on education, friends, their grandparents and generally being relaxed. I'm gonna loose my job and sometimes I feel like my mind.

I'm normally of the pull your boots up and put your lippie on mindset but today I don't think it's gonna cut it.

Cupcakes, dementia has taken my mum, two aunts and grandmother

It’s just the worst. All were late 80s and 90s

I'm upset about our flat too. It had just gone on the market before all this shit kicked off and now I dont think we will ever sell it. We can't have another baby if we have to stay here, it is too small. Feel like crying about it today.

It’s lovely going for walks, gardening , sitting in the garden when it’s warm and sunny
Today is not like this
😢

Exeter, cry..it’s what you need
I cried loads at the beginning
Probably will again, when the frustration builds up
We do have a lovely warm , clean shopping centre With unrestricted access, where we can go if we want a few bits and want to see people

The trouble is...we did that yesterday

I actually feel worse when it is sunny as the flat has no garden and it gets so hot. I'm very introverted so when it is rainy I really dont mind staying indoors. But I miss cafes and restaurants. I miss my family and friends. I miss getting the train into Central London (10 mins from our home) and walking along the river and browsing the shops.

In the beginning m we came back to the uk March 18, I was quite happy to drive to beach or harbour when the weather wasn’t so good to watch the sea or boats.
I don’t want to do it all again now the weather has changed
I want to go to my caravan, nip into york, have a mooch, have some food and go to the cinema or see if our favourite bands are playing that night.

I’ve so had enough of this

I read yesterday that all NHS staff will have to wear masks unless their workplace has been declared covid safe or whatever the term is. I really hope where I'll be working is mask free otherwise I'll be useless! I can't imagine I'll be productive whilst I feel like I'm suffocating all day!

Oh Exeter, that just sucks.
I never ever thought flat dwelling was good for people.
I was quite amazed when we went to France a lot, how many town dwellers lived in flats as at the time, there wasn’t That many blocks in my home town.
Since they built the new marina we have a lot more

I did think when this started, if the weather is awful, will just stay in and keep warm watch tv, but the opposite is true...I just want nice weather, to be out there and chat to people.
I say this as someone who has probably only stayed in about 7 days total.
Today is miserable.
I’m not out of bed yet.
Painter coming at 10 l that will be a little diversion.
I don’t want to do housework.
I want out!
I’m ranting like a three year old now.
