Anything goes for Uni

Marina, that is ridiculous. 
Looks like we are in this for the long run.  I’m going to use the time to cook things that would normally test my patience. Saw a lovely photo of an Isolation Cake.

Have fun with your cooking Chookie, it will keep you happy.  I’ve started living out of my freezer stocks but do have to cook the chicken tenderloins to go with the veggie bakes.

Marina, I’m glad you found more stock of masks - inflated prices seem to be very common now.

OMG, $9 for a Cauli.   What is going on.

Nothing new here. It is after all a winter vegetable. We have to be prepared for a lot of changes in our lives. Shit is gunna hit the fan and most of us are blessed.

OMG, $9 for a Cauli.   What is going on.

They were $10 at Vic Market yesterday.  The stall holder said the prices are because the big chains are buying everything up and the smaller buyers have to accept what they can get as they still have their customer base to serve - and I believe that after our debacle over face masks and discussions with other retailers in our street.

On another note, I managed to lop a bit off the tip of one of my fingers today - the very last cut of a cauliflower  for my final  a meal.  Needless to say it bled like a stuck pig (if you will excuse the expression) and I had to ring DH to come up to Guildford on his bike to pick me up and take me home as I couldn't drive.  It will be fine, just incredibly inconvenient with a huge bandage on one of my fingers - typing is interesting - it has taken me longer to correct all the errors in my typing than it took me to type this note in the first place.

Looks like we will have to shut down on Tuesday.  That will be drastic for all concerned.  Times will be tight for us, but so many traders / retailers, etc. are in a worse position than we are, it is going to be hard times ahead for some time to come.  I wonder if there is such a thing as a take away violin

 I can sympathise with your cut finger Marina, I had a bad cut some time back and it was so difficult to even bandage it myself let alone finish what I was doing which was making a lasagne. They bleed so profusely don’t they and it is so inconvenient.  Good luck with keeping your heads above water once the shop closes, DH could surely still work on repairs etc could he not?  You my dear can have a well earned rest. 
It looks like I will get one more gym session in before they have to close so I will have to walk a lot more when that happens.  We will cope.

Well the cauliflower we had for dinner was nice ,might be a treat if that for awhile . Cooling down at night , now I wished I had upgraded our Donna the other day .

Marina what a dreadful thing re the masks. 
I only buy cauli here when it is on special. The minimum price is usually $4-$6.

I hope your finger is ok Marina. Did you have stitches? A friend did his the other day, with an angle grinder.  It almost took the bone as well. They ended up operating on it to repair everything.

It’s Mother Day here today. DS turned up with Purple Sprouting Broccoli, Kale and Spinach, a  sour dough loaf and Chocolate Chip Scones. We sat outside having coffee. He won’t come into the van now and keeps his distance hence we sat outside for our coffee.

Marina, you poor thing.  This whole Coronavirus is an awful thing. It is affecting so many people in such a drastic way. 
CC, that was a very nice way to celebrate. 
Gert, keep safe.
Our DS and Melbourne family held a video face time thingy with us yesterday. It was so nice to see them all.  They had little butterflies floating around as we talked. Think they were checking to see we are behaving ourselves.
Cooler today. Will try and dig up a bit more of the veggie garden.

Sorry about your finger Marina, I hope it heals up quickly.
A visit to the doctor this afternoon.  Nothing major but we will sit well away from anyone else.
DS and DIL flying home from Queensland today, I hope they are allowed in.  DIL is a nurse in ED so I am sure they will allow her in , not sure about DS.

Kids studying! Friend called past we exchanged goods eggs for milk !

[Cuilidh]

That sort of exchange is good, K Atie.

Hope everyone travels well and are allowed in Margaret

It has finally happened, our nursing home has closed down for at least 2 weeks - not unexpected, it was just a matter of when.  I will have to send emails to my dear Mum via one of the nurses. My gym of course closed as well but I was able to get a final session in before the deadline.  Great timing really as I hopped on the scales and today I reached my goal of losing 10 kg .  So now I’ve got so much more time at home which is something I’ve not had for years.  I will put that time to good use and I started yesterday by clearing out a chest of drawers in the back bedroom.  I put a mobile phone and a camera up on a local giveaway site and they were snapped up in no time.  I’m sure to find a lot more things as I work my way through every cupboard and drawer in the house, this culling caper never seems to end!
