Sorry your quest for supplies was unsucessful ... think local Farmshops and local shops seem to be better supplied ... do you have any near you?
I am a social worker so could possibly offer advice if need be.
There seems to be numerous pieces of ‘advice’ as to how long we should be in quarantine... from a week to 12 !!!
How are others in this group coping with being suddenly isolated?
I hope you enjoy being part of our community.

It’s great to see the true spirit and support for each other developing out of these difficult times. I feel that times such as this tends to reignite the real person inside us that tends to disappear with the stresses and pressures of our present way of living. It would be great if this could reunite our country in this turbulent political climate too.
Unfortunately one bad thing that has manifested itself is the selfish self centred individuals that wish to profit from our present crisis. The greedy shopkeepers and predators that are bulk buying to sell on at a profit. Just remember you people that when this is all over and life returns to normal we will remember you for what you are and what you have done.
Be safe all and hopefully healthy.
have had a wonderful life with no regrets. God bless us all.
Heaven help us all with this incredible lack of "expert" logical understanding and critical emphasis.
Keep on trucking silver folk as our help to our families and friends is golden.
Spock (scifi) would say "live long and prosper" but probably role his eyes at the crude state development we are in.
I hope you feel better soon and enjoy your gardening, I dont have the virus but do have a chest infection, i am just trying to enjoy things that i forgot gave me joy like reading and writing and it's lovely to have a community on line where we can connect and keep each others spirits up,
However Silvermite it would take me many weeks more than three days doing my CV as my memory is shot and can not remember my own history. So good luck and may the force be with you. 🙂
