I find the hello fresh recipes, whilst very nice, are quite calorific. But my guts are much better now without the long work days and I find I can eat things I never used to be able to in small amounts. There was one brill recipe that tastes yum which is pasta in blue cheese sauce. May post the recipe.

Mi se pare că rețetele proaspete salut, deși sunt foarte drăguțe, sunt destul de calorice. Dar curajul meu este mult mai bun acum fără zilele lungi de muncă și consider că pot mânca lucruri pe care nu le-am putut obține niciodată în cantități mici. A existat o rețetă strălucitoare care gustă yum, care este pasta în sos de brânză albastră. Poate posta rețeta.

Obrigado por sua postagem no meu tópico. Sempre gosto de ouvir de você. Bem, eu fiz a linha do tempo também e é 973 gf dias, quase atingindo os 1000 dias. Estou no grupo de ex residentes de poulstone. fazemos Skype na quinta-feira à noite. Eu me pergunto se você pode participar? Gosto da sua ideia de planejamento para a semana. Funcionou para mim anteriormente E eu nunca esquecerei seu apoio quando as coisas estavam muito desesperadoras. Acho que mesmo quando não há motivação e nada é alcançado um dia, então pode ser no próximo. Progresso, não perfeição. Eu gosto dessa frase. Tive sorte nisso, antes de o corona começar, depois de machucar minhas costas no natal, me inscrevi para o hello fresh and Abel and Cole Organic. Se eu não tivesse, eu estaria em apuros agora, sem uma esperança no inferno de conseguir um slot de entrega no Ocado agora. Espero que das pequenas sementes as coisas se concretizem, literal e metaforicamente!

Thank you for your post on my thread. I always like hearing from you. Well I did the timeline too and it is 973 gf days, nearly hitting the 1000 days.
I am in the outreach poulstone ex residents group. we Skype on a Thursday evening. I wonder if you can join it?
I like your idea of planning for the week. It worked for me previously And I will never forget your support when things were quite desperate. I find even when there is zero motivation, and nothing is achieved one day, then it can be the next. Progress, not perfection. I like that phrase.
I was lucky in that before corona kicked off after I hurt my back at xmas I signed up for hello fresh and Abel and Cole organic. If I hadn’t I would have been in dire straits now as not a hope in hell of getting a delivery slot on Ocado now. I hope from little seeds things come into fruition, literally and metaphorically!

Vă mulțumesc pentru postarea dvs. pe firul meu. Îmi place întotdeauna să aud de la tine. Ei bine, am făcut și cronologia și sunt 973 gf zile, aproape atingând cele 1000 de zile. Sunt în grupul de foști rezidenți. noi Skype într-o joi seară. Mă întreb dacă vă puteți alătura? Îmi place ideea ta de a planifica săptămâna. A funcționat pentru mine anterior Și nu voi uita niciodată sprijinul tău când lucrurile erau destul de disperate. Găsesc chiar și atunci când există o motivație zero și nu se obține nimic într-o zi, atunci poate fi următoarea. Progresul, nu perfecțiunea. Îmi place acea frază. Am avut noroc că, înainte ca Corona să înceapă după ce m-am rănit la spate la Crăciun, m-am înscris la Bună ziua, iar Abel și Cole organic. Dacă nu aș fi fost, aș fi fost acum într-o situație dificilă, ca o speranță în iad să obțin un slot de livrare pe Ocado acum. Sper ca din semințe mici lucrurile să se fructifice, la propriu și metaforic!

Bedankt voor je bericht in mijn topic. Ik vind het altijd leuk om van je te horen. Nou, ik heb ook de tijdlijn gedaan en het is 973 gf-dagen, bijna de 1000 dagen. Ik zit in de outreach Poulstone ex-bewonersgroep. we Skypen op een donderdagavond. Ik vraag me af of je erbij kunt zijn? Ik hou van je idee van plannen voor de week. Het werkte eerder voor mij en ik zal je steun nooit vergeten toen de dingen behoorlijk wanhopig waren. Ik merk dat zelfs als er geen motivatie is en er de ene dag niets wordt bereikt, het de volgende dag wel kan zijn. Vooruitgang, geen perfectie. Ik hou van die zin. Ik had het geluk dat voordat corona begon nadat ik mijn rug bezeerde met Kerstmis, ik me aanmeldde voor hallo vers en Abel en Cole biologisch. Als ik dat niet had gedaan, zou ik nu in de problemen zijn gekomen, omdat ik geen hoop had om nu een bezorgslot op Ocado te krijgen. Ik hoop dat uit kleine zaadjes dingen tot bloei komen, letterlijk en figuurlijk!

Great to hear from you and I have missed your posts. I like reading them. Yes, I think you are fortunate to live where you do and have the resources that you do. I have a shared garden at least but I am the only one that sits in it 20 mins or so a day. I hope to move to Cornwall when my daughter moves there and we have discussed a vegetable and herb patch. Selling up in Kent means they can buy a property for them and for me.
In London, I would like to say they have overreacted but in truth they haven’t, infection has had reasonably high rates here and clearly the denser the population the worse it is. I have a lot of sympathy for families stuck in tower blocks. It is like being in prison. My sister called me today, she is fed up but has gone back to something she is very skilled at and had t done for 15 years which is tapestry work and embroidery. I think she must have had a past life as an Elizabethan lady of leisure doing embroidery as it comes so naturally to her. She has solved my stuckness in the knitting pattern. It was nice to hear from her. Unfortunately my mother went to Sainsbury’s this morning and had to queue. No one believed she was 86 And would not let her to the front. She shouldn’t even be doing that as she is vulnerable but did not receive a letter.
Pete also called to wish a happy Easter.

Ty for your post. Yes, you are right about blogs, thanks. Plus the work thing, I see it as just commenting on what was in the nationals. Don’t think it is in my contract of employment but it is in daily communiques. Regardless of outcome, I think I will quit at the end of this. I have seen a side of managing the message that I find going against my ethics and values which runs counter to the values I signed up to. Maybe that is an idealistic point of view but it is something I feel strongly about.
A few people are asking my view on questions now on quora, most of them political. Ooer…

[Monica1]

I am sure I am not alone in thinking good Friday was Saturday as above. Oops!

[Monica1]

Well the day started Ok with an early morning call from the gma women’s group members for a chat. I didn’t even know we could do this so that was good. I spent some time in the sunshine in the garden and attempted to put some structure in the day. I answered a few quora questions and realised two things which are the downside of starting a blog 1. Some people vehemently disagree with something you have said and can be quite rude about it 2. I have spoken about local hospital issues that have hit the nationals that are a cause for great concern when we have been told not to. I am really uncomfortable with the managing of the message which has downsides ie the message is managed and economical with the truth and the control that manifests in a command and control situation. Not comfortable with that at all and I find it distasteful. I felt that the daily briefings yesterday were just too politicised and untruthful,or in other words, lies to make messages more palatable. I feel uneasy now about doing a blog.
I also wonder about how long we can continue like this, we are low on food now until Sunday. We are all doing without hairdressers, massage, Self care type things, proper exercise, dentist, normal GP services, shopping. It is tiring, the energy of this crisis is draining.
My son went out yesterday afternoon and did not return till the small hours. I tried calling and texting but his phone was switched off. I found it made my chest tight, something I just didn’t need. We have only just talked and he apologised but I spent the entire night worrying and shanti was upset too. He said that he had told her that he was going to his dads. He said that his dad was even more paranoid than we r about social distancing and that he did not go into the house but was in the garden. For that amount of time.? I said that we r not even meant to be visiting anybody. He came back with a large box of 24 eggs. My chest was relieved immediately, it is worry, fear and anger mixed which has a physical affect. I realised that we are all becoming paranoid about social distancing and I wonder what the damage to us as humans will be from all of this. This situation cannot continue long term without inflicting huge social and economic damage.
I cooked on Friday, a beef honey stew, it was nice but a little too sweet. The reason I mention my cooking is because it is a reasonably newish thing for me to cook daily and constantly takes me by surprise. I simply have spent too much time at work to ever organise cooking properly.

My risotto was a disaster. It wouldn’t evaporate off and the pan ended up burnt. I still ate the burnt risotto, it was a bit yuck but I didn’t want to waste food, but didn’t expect anyone else to. I used a pan was that not non stick. Lesson learned.
Today I had a full on day working from home and it went quickly. Did an on line Skype gma Women’s Group and enjoyed that then did a 2 hour medical intuitive course on zoom. That was great. I am doing all the things I have really wanted to do but never had the time as I was always working. So on that level, I am very pleased I now have the time to fulfil some of things my soul wants to do. Spoke to Pete and he is ok still working but keeping a social distance.
My son has now shifted the front room to his bedroom next to mine and it is great. Windows wide open so I can get the air with my pc set up next to the window. My bedroom gets very little air and of course I am the original Fagash lil. . He has got me a humidifier. The dishwasher was delivered. His room looks like the white stuff, everything Including the floorboards is white. The place is really coming together.

[Monica1]

Fell asleep early last night so didn’t post.
Positives, my team can work from home, had long discussions yesterday as to reasons why and my boss supported my views. My wider team who have been in every day and upset to be, they are to be redeployed. I will try and work on that one. Ext.
Positives: I have started answering questions on Quora and was surprised to find I have three followers today and about ten upvotes. That is practice for my blog which I will try and start before the end of the month.
Funnies, shanti made a face mask, a chocolate colour, my son put it on and he looked well, you can guess. The front room is all white with white floorboards, looks like a white out. They have been working hard on making everything look nice when baby arrives
I also ordered a pulse oximeter weeks ago and received it today. It’s a bit patchy at the moment in its results. We worked out if we hold it flat is is normal for both my son and I.
I also received l theanine recommended by idi, for help with anxiety. It’s a natural essential amino acid, so I will try it tomorrow first thing.
The days go quickly much of a muchNess. I went out to the shop today with my son and in the local shops people are not keeping the right social distance which I find makes me a little nervous.
I also have had slight pains underneath my chest and left ribs and I realised today it is muscular strain because I am stooping on my bed to work on my work laptop. Luckily I have some Voltarol. Luckily, I have enough organic food, probably a little too much of it, and hello fresh meals, about to go and cook a pancetta and mushroom risotto for everyone.

[Monica1]

Well done on finding on line food, there is nothing available here. I am pleased that fortuitously before this thing kicked off I had registered with an organic food site, although they dont have a lot left I get a weekly veg and fruit box.
That was a lovely thing to do for your neighbour. These things ***** in the good deed box. And how lovely that you can have some sort of a celebration of Easter. I too am grateful for food, a roof, a job and being able to work from home. These are blessings that many people don’t have right now.

[Monica1]

Espero que suas cólicas estomacais tenham melhorado agora. Recebi a entrega de l theanine hoje, portanto, vou lhe dizer como estão, eu dei ao meu filho e ele está ficando ansioso. Agora com o marido, isso tem sido um problema para você desde que estou no site e agora estou há dois anos e 8 meses gf. Com Pete, nosso relacionamento já não existia há muitos anos, o que é apenas um dos motivos pelos quais apostei. Foi por meio do aconselhamento que explorei isso e reuni coragem para pedir-lhe que se mudasse. Agora eu sei que nossa história teve uma reviravolta surpreendente, pois voltamos a ficar juntos quase dois anos desde que ele se mudou, mas o relacionamento agora não é nada como antes. Portanto, às vezes vale a pena dar um chute no traseiro para mudar as coisas para melhor. Eu também dei um chute no traseiro e fiz algumas mudanças importantes também. Sei que provavelmente estamos em minoria. Você precisa falar com seu marido e dizer-lhe como se sente. Se você não puder fazer isso, eu perguntaria por quê? Durante este período de crise pode não ser o melhor momento, ou pode ser. Você é o melhor juiz disso.

[Monica1]

I hope your stomach cramps have eased now. I got l theanine delivered today so will let you know how these go, I have given them to my son as well as he finds himself getting anxious.
Now with the hubby, this has been an issue for you as long as I have been on the site and I am now two years 8 months gf. With Pete, our relationship had been non existent for many years which is just one of the reasons I gambled. It was through counselling that I explored this and gathered together the courage to ask him to move out. Now I know our story has had a surprise twist in that we have gotten back together some nearly two years since he moved out but the relationship now is nothing like it was at all. So sometimes a kick up the butt is worthwhile to change things for the better. I also had a kick up the butt and have made some big changes as well. I do realise that we are probably in a minority. You do need to talk to your husband though and tell him how you feel. If you r unable to do that, I would ask why?
During this time of crisis may not be the best time, or it may be. You are the best judge of that.
