Thank you for the kind messages for me and others out working. I think we are all appreciating what others do, a lot more now. I particularly appreciate the bus drivers at the moment as without them I know I would not be able to do my job.
Roobarb - I am glad to hear things worked out re your shopping delivery and you are now well stocked up. I am also glad to read that despite scare, all is well with your kind friend.
Caroline - you sound like a one woman industry in all the good work you are occupying yourself with. I am not on FB but I have read that 4,000 people have volunteered to help out making scrub items. It is really uplifting to know that there are so many kind hearted people out there making such efforts on behalf of others.
CD - I am glad to read that things have much improved now in the way of PPE and testingfor your 'frontline' daughter. She and others in NHS are doing an amazing job and they should not have to risk their own lives to do it - as they have done.
Victoria - is that place anywhere near me? A 'Urinal Embassy' sounds like just the place I could do with during my commutes ..
Diary
Finished nightshift. Second bus ride home unfortunately turned out no better than the day before. I will have another attempt tomorrow in trying to keep conscious enough on way home to appreciate the 'charming' vista en route. Honestly, it is just like going to see a good film and then finding you have slept all the way through it! Really must try harder tomorrow!
Colleague had brought in some good books for me to borrow. So I put these away safely when I got in. I feel a sense of well being in knowing I am now very well stocked up on the book front.
Roobarb, sorry, I have just realised that I did not answer your question last week re books ... I tend to get the majority of my books from the library (goodness knows how long it will be before libraries can safely reopen though so that option is now out the window) and occasionally some are passed on from friends. I do sometimes buy an odd second hand or new book too. I felt compelled to buy books the other day as I don't like the prospect of being without a book. I like hard copies that I can carry around rather than online ones.
Woke up for tea time and had some of the quiche I made the other day and some beans and an orange. Read some articles after tea. I like some upbeat articles about how individuals are helping others. There is one lovely write up about a young boy with autism who is being an DJ to keep other children entertained.

I am now back on my commute to nightshift.
PS - I very nearly started a new post for Wednesday 6 April .. it is really getting much harder these days to keep on track with the days.
