Late in here today. Fbg 5.4
Having tried to offer my services to the local shop and surgery to help out vulnerable people who may be self isolating, and having been met with a very lacklustre response I’ve finally found a chink of light. First an online place called VolunteerCornwall which is taking names of people willing to help, like in the days of swine flu when we were encouraged to have a ‘flu buddy’. Then a call to local priest. I am not a member of his congregation, in fact I rarely go to church at all but I figured he’d know of people who might be affected. He was very pleased with the offer and said he’d mention it on his rounds and on Sunday ( not my name and number, just the fact that there was a willing volunteer) he is having trouble at the mo trying to make his churches safe - no sharing of the chalice, no hand sanitiser available for the congregation and no accessible sink, poor chap sounded a bit overwhelmed and is trying to get to see all his parishioners in care homes ASAP before they stop allowing visitors. I feel a lot less frustrated now having started the ball rolling though.
@PenguinMum re pheasantgate who would have thought there was a pheasant grapevine? He must have told a pheasant chum or 2.
&HarryBeau good news re Lola, not so good for your wallet. I too have several passwords full of expletives and very rude words where I’ve lost my cool in the same way!
@Muddy Cyclist I love the slate paintings - it’s a technique Ive never heard of.
@dunelm your last post made me laugh I’d love a signed photo of your favourite whippet!
) and @geefull do. Also what a dilemma for you, the organisers and those attending. Since social services have been left to wither on the vine what the hell happens to the needy isolated, or even not, in this Brave New World? Art teachers, new roads and HS2 don't address that issue.
