I hope you told her you could not spy on the flat over the road tonight and could she take over?

Since I rearranged the living room, I can’t see the flat over the road any more (unless I twist my head about 110° to the left, which prevents me seeing the telly). I get to spot the planes heading for EMA instead, when there are any

I received some post yesterday.

The birthday card I sent on Monday hasn't arrived yet, as far as I know.

I don't receive post every day in normal times so I wouldn't notice if deliveries were more sporadic.

More annoyingly, Amazon have yet to confirm despatch of the whiteboard I ordered for my office. They've not yet charged me for it either so I have little grounds for complaint. They have, however, charged me for the fan heater but not despatched that.

Email from the lady who runs the Neighbourhood Watch, who I would guess is in her late sixties or early seventies. She wants to know if I’m OK and if I need any help

Way to make me feel utterly decrepit, neighbour

Reply to my reply to her. She informs me that Iceland has fairly decent stocks of everything, though fails to specify if this includes Greggs products. Might have to go and check

The Wife (tm) is still on calls.
Nightingale is for those who will no longer be treated.
Most local hospitals are getting wards set up similarly.
The nurses are being trained - not in how to keep patients alive or help them to get better, but in how to wear and remove PPE.

Military level triage.

Military level triage.

Hopefully sans the bullet holes & shrapnel injuries.

Sheets out of WM2 and out on the line, shirts out of the TD and ironed a bit where needed, towels on the end of the hot wash in WM1.

Smalls out of the TD still somewhat damp & airing in the front bedroom in the sun.

In other news, I’ve just made about 2kg of rhubarb & ginger jam. Very early for it, but the rhubarb was ready, and I was able to get jam sugar.
Almost burnt it, but it’s ok, although may be the most solid jam I’ve ever made.

"Jam sugar"?

Ain't that ordinary white granulated?

It’s sugar with added pectin, to help the jam set.

You can make jam without jam sugar, using ordinary sugar, if you use a fruit that is high in pectin (such as lemon, apples, blackberries). Or you can add powdered pectin to normal sugar.
