One can get a bit bored with all this staying home!
Plus I do speak to him regularly.
Though I doubt dreich is in common use in California, I think he has probably taught his colleagues what it means! Likewise wee, which incidentally he reckons even his English colleagues frequently use. There are of course a lot of originally Scottish people over in USA, and down in England.
I will need to ask DD what she thinks about conflate now!

Well thanks for all your comments on the plant ordering. I have considered them all and I have decided that IF and that's a big if, I can actually find any online tomorrow I will order them. When my grandchildren argue I always tell them it is wiser to consider their comments carefully and form a well considered argument, rather than an off the cuff reply. But, if anyone wants to have another go about me ordering plants, then in the words of my grandchildren. Whatever!

A&J, I pointed this out previously that supermarkets were selling soil and plants but as you say the garden centres have to close.
So far we have seen plants for sale in , Home Bargains, The Range, Lidl, Aldi, Asda, Tesco and Morrisons. It doesn't seem fair to the garden centres unless of course these shops are selling them on their behalf, chances of that I think are as rare as flying pigs

Sadly not open at the moment, but when we are all able to get out and about again, visitors to Cornwall might be interested in here.....

I've given up on the seeds I ordered from them. Suttons do a limited range of fast track items. Ordered last weekend, came yesterday, so at least we can get started. Although they did come a bit out of the blue, as my order still shows as being processed on their web site.

Great thread. We live in South West London or surrey, so not a rural area a suburb. Social distancing is definitely happening as is lots of local community help groups and churches shopping for the shielded or vulnerable groups. We walk locally we have a dog so walk every day anyway. I've seen less crowds and groups during the lockdown. More cyclists out as easy to isolate on a bike. before the lockdown places like Richmond park were so full of was like a heatwave BY weekend, so I knew they close that psrk, the crowds were unbelievable. Families out walking the dog or without a dog, normally now. On the shopping front, we have more super markets as urban location but a higher population so queues are longer. I shop for my vulnerable in laws and other locals and usually queue between 40mins to 1 hour and a half to get inside the shop. Most items you need are stocked but some have been missing for weeks or no stock. It's been lovely to see people helping each other. As I shop for others my local Waitrose have me a free bunch of flowers yesterday saying they valued my custom and my community sprit and happy Easter ... It was so unexpected and kind of brought a year to my eye.
