Pete and Kelli’s social distance day 2

I had plenty to get on with, it was business as normal, but Kelli is far more concerned about the virus than I am.

We had a weekly delivery of food due for Thursday, and we were using the Aldi home delivery for other stuff. There will be shortages, but she is pretty resourceful, and can create almost anything edible out of the fridge.

We had decided on a number of measures to help us through this difficult time.

First we had ordered a bidet attachment for the toilet to reduce the need for toilet paper. This will be interesting, as most times things should only come out of the arse not going into it. I can’t wait to hear the first shriek from Kelli on this one.

Next she wanted an elderberry immune support syrup kit, which was due on Wednesday, however this was not quick enough, so she found someone in Zeeland who also supplied them, and drove off to buy one.

When she got back, all excited, she waited no time in getting things going. The kitchen resembled Frankenstein’s laboratory with jars and pans bubbling on the cooker.

It made me think, where do you get elderberries in Holland? I don’t think I’ve seen any, unlike in the UK where every hedgerow has trees growing wild.

Ironically the kit I ordered, had been delivered early, and was waiting in the post box for her return, so our immunity will be so strong we will glow in the dark.
