Dunno whether this is feasible or relevant but could you try opening different windows? You seem to be on some kind of Bumblebee Flight Path.

I can only apologise for the sheer noive of my rellies, Carinthia.
Still awaiting a 'phone call so no walkies for me, today. Mr Bee is out, walking the fields. Oh - a massive dod of amalgam with a bit of tooth has fallen out of one of my molars. Sigh.

Proffers hugs right back. Still no 'phone call, despite two nudges from me.
Lovely to hear about the butterfly, Twellsy. I remember sitting in an Austrian meadow after a very long hike and, having removed my footwear, I had meadow browns landing on my toes. Clearly, we bees have nicely scented sweat.
Tonight Iāll cook a cheesey veg bake, to use stuff up, with roasted sweet potato wedges. The latter is necessary because Mr Bee bought them becauseā¦well, anyway.

Friendās fatherās funeral on Tuesday. Given that father was on IoM and friend is in Oxford, he couldnāt be there. They tried to livestream it. It didnāt go well.

So: all is not sad in our Cellar. Admittedly, the sweet potatoes were, as suggested by their moniker, sweet, but we donāt ever need to cook or eat them again. So, thatās Good. Iāve been emailing Auntie Joanās care home manager and she seems caring and helpful. A card has been sent and Iāll try to work out what else I can do.

I think we should follow the magnificent example set by our Antipodean mates:
Or, not. But they make me smile.

Well yes, Darling
But They Donāt Matchā¦
I even have blue Nitrile gloves & black ones, depending on the week, although I expect that they will be rarer than henās teeth very shortly

I bought, before all of this sh*t, nitrile gloves at best price. They are lilac and donāt match anything. Imagine my pain! But, Iāll wear them, as Iām better than I think.

I have a box and a half of surgical gloves and a box of food safe gloves
As I am a terror for bleeding with tiny cuts the food safe gloves are essential
I was going to make hot cross buns for the.neighbours but nobody wants them
I feel even more useless and with less control than ever today

I usually buy mine from the First Aid stall on the market, but even before this really developed, they had run out of Large. I can wear Medium, but the Large go better over the compression gloves.

I usually keep nitrile gloves in stock for cutting up chillies, but Iāve discovered other uses for them, during present madness, and Iām glad that I have a stock of them.
Anyhoo - best nights, Cellarites.

Gin, Darling
I wore them for dealing with pickling onions, years ago, so that the smell wouldnāt transfer to the sewing.
I do most food prep in them these days, as the allergies have developed.

Oh goodness. Hadnāt even thought about them until you mentioned it. Drat.
Sorry youāre feeling that way. But you ARE being useful by not going out and about and getting ill or passing illness on. And you could make hot cross buns for yon Bull and freeze some. Without crosses, so they are just Normal Issue Delicious Buns. I am short a couple of needfuls to make them, sadly.
