What are you all up to

Bakers2 It is very yummy, worth making. Also very rich, really need the family here to share it, hopefully soon.

Better day here in MK today, makes a change from grey! We actually ventured out to a supermarket today for the first time since early December from memory. It was a Morrisons which has nice wide aisles and fortunately not too busy so less stressful than we imagined it would be. Neat Feet coming tomorrow, aka Vicky our chiropodist.

It's because of the noise that they make that I hope they don't make it up here, in our lovely quiet county.

Not the brightest of day here fine the quiet north west. Hope the dubious pleasure of another visit to the dentist at lunchtime, this time to have 3 fillings done. It took the dentist 3/4 be to complete the task....no wonder my jaw ached most of the afternoon. Hopefully that will be my last visit for at least 3 months before my next visit to see the hygienist. Went shopping this evening and it was even quieter than normal when we expected it to be busy with more people back at work and not able to get there during the day.

Has anyone noticed that cards are getting in short supply in some outlets? OH gave me an anniversary card last week but said the shop mentioned stocks were low. I sometimes order a card or two with our food delivery but today most were "out of stock." (I keep a supply in at home and order some from a card company.)

We’re making small steps to getting the caravan ready. We’ve ordered a thingymejig with a USB socket that hopefully we can connect to the two pin plug we found in the back of a cupboard when we bought the (second hand) caravan many many years ago. For a long time we had no idea what this plug was for, then noticed a matching socket. We’ve too many gadgets to rely on Power Banks.

And we’re about to order a freestanding folding solar panel - just so we can go on holiday down the fields in a month. 

All new technology for us. For a long time we’ve just plugged in to the electric supply. 

Could it be that it is only food shops that are open who tend not to have large card supplies ,all the  dedicated card shops are still closed?

 Had a bit of an earlier than normal start today ,misread the clock Rosa did not mind going out at 0630, but i did wonder  until i checked my phone why our local coop was not open

Margaret has been ordering packs of birthday cards online. Trouble is that it becomes a bit of " Hobsons Choice" as they are mixed packs. We have also used the likes of Funky Pigeon to order individual cards online where you can personalise them. Unfortunately they tend to lack the personal touch! But needs must!!! Did manage to find a couple of Easter cards in Morrisons yesterday in which we can add some Easter Egg money for a couple of youngsters

I was hoping not to send our daughter in Warwickshire another lockdown moonpig card, one that we'd actually written on ourselves.  It must be to do with closures and stock levels as Jvb suggested. 

We have been using Moonpig for a while now brue.  I personalise the front page with name and/or picture etc, then ask for it to be sent to me so I can write a personal message and sign, then I post on.
