eve Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Quiet in here today - hope everyone is enjoying their busy day. Got a bit of tidying up done in the garden, then my son came over for a couple of hours. He lives in one of the areas that's on partial lockdown - he can come and meet with us in a pub or restaurant but not in our house or garden. We decided that was just too ridiculous for words and so he came to the house and I let him in. What rebels we are lol. If the rescue have found homes for the pups are you still having one as a foster Jazz? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Good for you Eve.... surely if he can meet you in the pub, he can meet you in your garden...I swear these rules are bananas. I have been added to some special list for a blood test and have to go to a pop up clinic... that's all fine, however.... sending me an appointment without checking if I am available or even giving me details of who to contact to change the appointment....well, I am not going! Left a message with my consultants secretary telling her to send me normal blood test forms and I will go to my usual chemist, I don't need any special treatment thank you, I have looked after myself all through lockdown, I am happy to go to the pub with my mates, jump the bus etc...I am not worried about things, never have been. I didn't accept government help with parcels, I managed to get food delivered or went to the shop, I have had several blood tests during lockdown and I used my local chemist who are actually very very good, I have decided my new consultant and I won't be getting on...... Banbury, here I come!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Some of the rules are indeed illogical. I went to an event for the first time today, an outdoor one. We had tea and snacks at Muddy Fork project as the trustees wanted to thank those of us who have kept the gardens, tree nursery, beehives and polytunnels going through lockdown and drought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eve Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 How lovely Owl, hope you enjoyed it. I suppose the hospital are just following even more illogical guidelines Griff. Quite right to do what works for you. Prepare yourself for the wonderful madness that is life with a puppy Jazz. A bit jealous and a bit glad it's not me lol. Hope everyone is having a great evening xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Yes, it was indeed lovely to see them all, especially as I am usually there when no one else can go. I took my friend with me to meet them all and to see what was being done, and he was very interested. Then we took Wispa for a walk and did some bird watching. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmagic Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Ah, puppy snuggles, Jazz. The reason you cannot meet in a house but can in a pub is that you may not adhere to social distancing in the house but the staff a the pub will be implementing social distancing as they don't want to have to close. The outbreak in the west has ben traced to house gatherings, not to pubs. hence the restrictions on houses but not pubs. Met up with a friend for beach walk with the dogs yesterday, followed by coffee and a chat at her house. It was nice to get out and meet up with someone for a change. There is so little happening now- no clubs, meetings etc. Just seen a notice that Christmas will be delayed until Mid January as Santa will have to self isolate when he comes into the country. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Eve... likewise, no way would I do a puppy again! Deagan was an absolute breeze as a puppy but she's six now, I only just managed 6 years ago, I will have Steve's boy when he gets him but that will just be whilst he is at work and not whilst he has Molly as it's not fair on her..... plus it's only for about 8 hours a day Owl, sounds like you both had a lovely time...I am pleased xx Lol..... yeah poor santa.....can you imagine trying to explain why he can come to your house but your nan and grandad can't....oh the lies!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazz Posted September 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 Just had to find space for the dogs chews. My pans are now sharing their cupboard with animal parts, in sealed bags. Seems everywhere is having trouble getting merlins hooves. Ive found somewhere that has them. his normal ones come in bags of 10. Hope these do or the only space might be the bathroom lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
