Meet the Neigh-bour

Lockdown Day 5

I had to go to the supermarket this morning and decided to drive to Sainsbury’s at Newhaven rather than Asda as they always seem to have empty shelves.  When I arrived and saw the queue of people with trolleys winding round the car park I wasn’t going to bother, but decided as I was there I may as well wait as it was likely to be like that everywhere.

I had to queue for about an hour but the staff were doing a great job organising everyone and were only letting people in as others came out.  We had to stand either side of the parking spaces so there was a safe distance between everyone and everybody was very patient.  Anyway it was a successful shop and I managed to get everything I needed - there were even toilet rolls!!

When Alan took his lunch break we went for a walk across the fields and on the way back I went in a different direction to extend my walk a bit, and came across a field of horses.  This beauty came to say hello :-)  Then tonight we spent a couple of hours in the Palace with a bottle of fizz and some nibbles, it’s a nice little bolt hole now we’re confined to our homes.

And the main news today is that Boris has tested positive to Covid-19 as well as Matt Hancock the Health Secretary and Chris Whitty, the Chief Medical Officer has symptoms.  It begs the question as to why they didn’t take preventative measures sooner!
