Thank you for all the kind comments about my family stories. I shall share some more when I'm reminded. I try and pass them on to bear, as I remember them. It's good to keep the stories alive, even some of the less reputable ones.
Today has been a drab day. I dropped bear and pal off at school, then called in at Tesco. Some things are on ration, and the loo roll section had a trampled look. I bought some inexpensive bar soap and dropped it in the foodbank box, which felt incredibly inadequate. However I'm likely to call in there tomorrow and I may get some handwash if they have any and put it in. We are okay for handwash as there was an offer on a while ago and I stocked up. Actually, because of my little ways, I'm not scrambling around. I buy toilet paper in bulk from Amazon, and we have enough left for the month, and I have a gallon or so of white vinegar which is an excellent disinfectant, although I usually use it as a fabric softener. I have the end of last year's 'buy-a-year's-worth-of-gluten-free-pasta-on-the-one-week-of-the-year-it's-on-sale' event and we are okay. I hope the panic buying has died down a little by the time I need to restock. I had a look on Approved Food out of curiosity and, for the first time I can remember, they had no toilet roll on offer.
Bear is full of cold and fell asleep in the car. I'm fairly sure it's just a cold and nothing more, but if he's bad tomorrow, I'll check with the school about bringing him in.
Writing stuff - writing challenge for this week is here and a wonderful reply to it by Rebekah Jonesy (author of Clay and Moss and currently helping me with my next book) is here.
Hugs to all.
Sometimes, all that stocking up when things are on sale pays, doesn't it? Hope bear feels better, soon.
