Use some roofing battens and set them just below the top edge to avoid collecting leaves. Nice work, can you come snd do mine please. Thanks, for the advice.

SwanR Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Lovely sunrise Chris. I keep thinking I must get up and out with my camera at the golden hour time of day.

JennyMorgan Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Had a letter from HMG this morning telling me that 'clinically I am a critically vulnerable person', made my day, not! Thank goodness I have space, both a shed and garage in which to play and potter. Thank goodness I have my music and my books in which to loose myself. I also have a near and handy great outdoors. How people living, often alone, in their little boxes, imprisoned in the cities, can cope I dread to think. I have my wife and friends at the end of a telephone line, I am lucky, extremely so, but being told, officially, that I am regarded as a critically vulnerable person, well past it, is a bit of a downer. Still, I had a case of wine delivered yesterday so life isn't all bad! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 A very well reasoned post JM. This can't be taken lightly and it's about doing one's best to be safe. But you're right about those struggling with life on their own, or stuck in small accommodation, not a patch of greenery in sight. Despite the grey skies I am determined to get out for even a short walk every day, especially weekends. And lockdown 2 also means stay home and bake a cake. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I had a case of wine delivered yesterday so life isn't all bad! I had one of those a couple of days ago but I really don’t know why! Although I have my problems, I do not have (as far as I know anyway) any diabetes, heart or lung problems. A call to my surgery didn’t help establish why either. Oh well, a positive of that may be that JM and I may be at the front of the queue for the vaccine when it arrives. 🥴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a list fairly recently of the order of play for the vaccine if/when it appears. Those in the frontline will get it first I believe, including care home workers and that has to be the way forward. Does age really come into it? The letter says you have ‘been identified’ as etc etc, that surely can’t be everyone above a certain age? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finny Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 It's not really having any adverse effects on the young many do not even show symptoms that's why many youngsters ain't that bothered about social distancing or wear a mask in public unfortunately it's age discrimination with this disease. The nurses in the family tell me they have been worded up and prepped for a massive go on this front - so watch this space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoryv Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I have been told that due to my health (or lack of it) that I will come fairly high in the list for the vaccine, just been for my government approved exercise in Chatsworth Park, it did cross my mind that the people also out walking in the fresh air with masks on, are probably more in need than I am, you have to worry about some peoples mental health. One of my work associates told me this week that he will not be having the vaccine, as it is the governments way of chipping us all, to late for him I think. I trust the science but not the scientists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
