Loganair, a Scottish airline, has come in to cover a lot of the routes previously flown by Flybe from the 16th March. So my difficult friend has rebooked her flights for May to Glasgow. Phew! She doesn't think she will be able to claim back any money on her defunct tickets, unless her debit card honours it. I'm glad the whole airport and the local economy will have some respite. Even though I don't live there anymore I still feel an affection for the place. It was my little local gateway to adventure! Does anyone remember when I flew off to La Rochelle when DH was spending too much time at the cricket? :laugh:

I dont think I have ever cooked real fish- not fish sticks....husband whining as I got out cookbook to figure out how to cook. So right now I have lightly breaded cod piece and salmon in the oven. Worse comes to worse I will microwave him a chicken patty to go with his sweet potato and green beans. Will let you know if betty crocker let's me down😉

So I googled pigs cheeks. I figured some exotic special name for something. Well to me it is still exotic. I didn't know people ate pigs cheeks. Dont know why that should surprise me...I know people who eat cow tongue....It looked good in the pictures.0

Machka, Oww! Maybe a “please open gently” sign at eye level on that lav door? PJ’s, Miss Marple and ginger tea, just what the doctor ordered. Send some of that rain over here, puhleeze!
There is a sign!!
But this particular work colleague does tend to burst into places ... some people just don't open doors slowly. And there are a few, I've noticed, who sit and wait and wait and wait until they are absolutely bursting to go to the toilet and then it's a mad dash. She's one of those too.Katla and Heather – the news here in FL is the same – the masks are useless unless you have the virus. They’re asking people not to buy them unless they absolutely need them because then the people who really need them (hosp. workers, etc) can’t get them.
Dentists!
I'm glad I got to my dentist when I did because they're talking about having to reduce hours in some practices or only do really emergency work because people have panicked and bought up all the masks.
Here's what WHO says about masks:

Heather: I am sorry your cruise was postponed. I hope you get a refund. Ordinarily, I would agree with your comments about flu. I am not particularly worried for myself but my DH has an array of autoimmune diseases. I do NOT want to bring the flu home to him. :noway:
Tere in RVA: I hope your biopsies come back with good treatment options and nothing scary.
Machka: The hand sanitizer I was able to find is alcohol based and will be as effective as anything provided we remember to use it. :flowerforyou:
I’m looking forward to yoga tomorrow. My fellow students are very nice people and we have good instructors. :bigsmile:

This is the first place to look for information about COVID-19. They post daily Situation Reports and News Articles. They've also got a Mythbuster section.

And regarding stocking up ... I simply placed a double order last week with my grocery store. It was delivered on Wednesday and is all tucked away in freezer and cupboards. I ordered stuff that will keep so that if we get sick and can't go out for 2-3 weeks while the flu runs its course, and then another 14 days after the symptoms have disappeared ... we're OK.

Success! Panko bread crumbs and butter. Oven baked cod for husband, salmon for me. Both were really good!
HeatherUK- sounds good actually...love that informational piece!
Hand washing lots! Lotion lots!

Meanwhile ...
It's my Birthday Long Weekend!! Australia is kind enough to have a long weekend for my birthday ... only they call it "Labour Day". Perhaps it was for my mother.
My birthday isn't until the end of the long weekend, but that's OK ... no reason why I can't celebrate all weekend long.
And I've also taken today (Friday) off work so I get a 4-day long weekend.
I figured out why I was feeling so horrible with the dizziness etc. last night. 1) I forgot to take one of my medications and that is a withdrawal effect and 2) I had a bit of an infection in my gums ... my dentist said I did/would and prescribed me antibiotics. I meant to fill the prescription earlier but had grabbed the wrong paper ... so finally, last night we went out and filled the prescription.
After taking my medication and getting a good night's sleep, I feel MUCH better.
Now ... I've got a cycling event to organise for this weekend, so I'd better get busy!

Pip- I have had squirrel, rabbit, frogs legs....I have even tried brains and eggs (once was enough). I like chicken livers fried. Not a fan of calves liver. I like calamari. I have to say I have never tried cow tongue. Y'all really are opening my eyes.1

Glad you are feeling better- Machka! I love birthday weekends!0

Made a cinnamon cake for hubby y us went for my brown sugar it’s hard as a brick 🧱 again! I like to add extra to the cinnamon store mix on top but couldn’t. What’s the trick? My Mom being special needs didn’t cook anything but 1 type of chocolate cake mix with chocolate frosting was all she knew.
(If you got Autism to Down Syndrome kids /adults in the family like I used to the life classes are SO Important!! Sign them up for all cooking to cleaning classes especially y job readiness ones). I started using brown sugar for the first time after 35yrs old so no clue the trick to save it from hardening. Anyone know?
Crackers in a salt 🧂 shaker what goes in my brown sugar?

Amber dry rice in a salt shaker, piece of white bread in the brown sugar..3

Poor parents are having schools closed in Washington now their jobs (minimum wage or less $3.25-$7.25 an hour) are saying come or your fired ,but a babysitter is more than their paycheck ($10 an hour) it’s illegal to leave them home alone even with an older sibling unless their above the age of 15 or 16yrs old an adult . Single Parents it’s even harder hands are tied what do you do situations if theirs no one who can help.
Hopefully this nonsense will end soon for the whole world 🌎 🌍 .1 -

I always thought that my sister using her mouth to clean her contacts was odd! I had eye surgery in 2007 for a pturigium. It was a glob that grew from tear duct on left eye to the color Iris part. The surgery sanded down the mass part, then cut a round circle from the back part of my eye and made a barrier with it so it wouldn't grow into the color part of my eye. Its still working. It is kind of like my alcohol indicator because if I drink something alcoholic that part get bright red.
