Originally from the UK I retired & moved to Spain 20 years ago, whilst it's not paradise it's probably as close as I'll ever come to it, living on a mountain with the sea in front & mountains behind & 320 days of sunshine a year. Still reasonably fit

For days now the press in the UK has been talking about the NHS running out of protection equipment, the health minister has told nurses to use other things to protect themselves
Now we hear UK firms making this equipment is having to send it to other European countries as the government has ignored them
IMO it won't be the government that's ignoring them but the civil service, they've always been useless again imo, but one has to ask is it incompetence on their part or a plot to make the government appear useless having lost their precious EU membership
Anecdotal evidence has been extremely positive thus far. Initial trialing was mostly very positive too. Now one report comes out, thin on detail, with a negative spin. I want to see more detail. Perhaps it's the natural cynic in me, but a cheap effective solution is a NIGHTMARE for the BIG WIGS in the pharmaceutical industry who live to develop and patent new and extremely expensive drugs/treatment to profit off of. It's their business model. But they also spend a tonne on lobbying and even are deeply involved in 'trials'. So it's absolutely right to be cynical. Money is the root of so much evil.
I'm over the moon on your results thus far, along with India, Japan etc , whether that's down to weather, TB inoculation, management of the situation or some unknown factor remains to be seen, but you can tell some here aren't happy with the way it's been handled as property prices in neighboring Portugal have just jumped up by 12%, mainly due to demand from people living in Spain.
In the meantime, it is easy to make your own homemade one. It works just as well and it's easy to make.
You are doing very well with the kids. It isn't easy, but you're doing well
I feel sorry for smokers trying to give up as there are fewer nicotine patches available than toilet rolls and look what happened to them
Of course soap works better than sanitisers, but when we are out and about, there is no access to soap and water. That's when hand sanitisers are used.
I never go anywhere without mine.
As for that shooting, guns and idiots don't mix.
Load up on soap...lol...
I hate hand sanitizers...years later...we will find out if they are worth while...your skin is the largest organ...wondering how toxic it is...just a thought...
This virus is potentially deadlier...so I would be willing to agree to the inoculation...working in a hospital...I want to.protect patients too...
Sometimes simple things are just more logical...vigorous hand washing is king...thinking back to the days of old...Ms. Nightingale stuff...wearing a mask is a good barrier to decrease droplet risk...that and a healthy lifestyle...
No brainers...it works...
Time to find more toilet paper
One - foot - in - front - of - the - other? Well, I'm sure it's like riding a bike, it will come back to me.
Masks must be worn. I hope banana masks will be accepted here too, they look fun and far more sensibly disposable than most.
I love it love it love it
Now yours -
Don't delete it Viv..I wanna watch it a few times
