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

You've got to be bats to want to live in a cave.
Now is time for my isolation but I do have large fields and big garden, now I know why I cannot move
Take care everyone
Riz - winter, summer, same temperature. Winter, summer, no windows
The above may have been influenced by the newly announced guidelines to Spanish doctors on who to treat when they have to make choices -
"‘best hope of quality of life’ – ‘regardless of age’
We are finally on a shut down of public meeting places. Better late than never I suppose. Cherie should have had a 3 day post op check but I've just given them telephone an update and she's doing ok so will wait for the 10 day one, and the vet might do a house call if necessary.
The holiday season has just started here so it will have a knock on effect for tourism. I'm afraid it has to be safety first though as we have an elderly population in this village . I feel for staff more than anyone as it's going to be extremely hard for them. We also rely on Eastern Europeans for marketing the fruit and veg in Lincolnshire ,a prolific area for arable farming.
The topmost priority has to be staying safe and limiting the spread. Take care
Have to agree with you frankly as they seem to be tiptoeing around the situation . We have a huge tourist influx here due to all the caravan parks along the coast yet they haven't closed them and people are pouring in as if it's business as usual. The theme park has been shut down but still they come . Such a selfish attitude under these circumstances
Boris needs to grow a pair and clamp down hard. I'm bored to death but at least have a private garden which I can if I choose sit out in. Can't do much gardening , no new plants, but all in good time . Cherie still progressing well though her right back leg looks like a giant plucked turkey leg. At least she's full of beans and happy.
Hope all well with you and the big lad.
Glad to hear she's doing well, Scooby is also fine but still sensing something is up.
I've been shopping at Tesco for over 10 years now using their delivery service and to my knowledge there are no price hikes. They are short on many goods due to ridiculous stock piling by ignorant people. I have seen videos of corner shops charging extra, but I must say I don't always believe what I see on social media.
Their Tesco Express stores are always a tad dearer for some reason, and now they are now doing a price promise with Aldi to keep prices reasonable so I find this statement about price hikes hard to believe.
Rumours are easily spread but they have to be factual.
So I'm to believe this is for the best...How can I believe it's for the best when Italy have been in lockdown for weeks yet the virus is still killing them at rapid speed?
I haven't stepped into a Tesco store since I was shopping in there Eastbourne store and noticed a freezer had packed up and the temp in it was reading +4c, I reported it to staff. The following week (7 days later) I went in for the weekly shop and the same freezer was still reading +4c and all the food was soft, a total disregard for safety and a disgrace that a company that makes billions a year would allow that. The exact same thing happened a few months later in Asda, I'd switched to them, I alerted staff and it was like WW111 had broken out, they'd put barriers on the isle before I got to the end, at the checkout the manager came over to explain that they have alarms in the office but the rise in temp hadn't yet reached the sensor, he apologised even though it wasn't their fault and the next week the whole freezer had been replaced with a new one.
I have in the course of my business life come across Tesco, people who did work for them under contract could wait 6 months to get paid, after the telephone company Telefonica, which I'm sure you had dealings with when you lived here, Tesco imo is the second worst company I've ever come across.
Big hugs to you in these trying times.
