How are you all?
I’m having a cup of tea while listening to magic radio having finished my (late as I couldn’t face eating because of the pain in my legs) lunch. What about you?

About to have coffee on the swingseat in garden sunshine with my lovely husband, having just finished (early) the main writing project for the day.

About to do my daily YouTube exercise after technical difficulties. My last internet search - Bloody Chromecast not working - bears witness to lockdown rage setting in.

Just come back from walking my dogs in the Park. The dogs are both sound asleep, I'm sitting quietly with a cup of tea deciding if I'll bake, cook or knit . Knit it is I think.

Usually I spend most of my day doing absolutely nothing! I have it down to a fine art - but yesterday I surprised myself and made several meals for the freezer - spaghetti bolognaise, vegetable curries and also some turkey curry, as couldn’t get chicken breasts! The washing up took for ever, but I did polish off a bottle of Rose which helped! Then I sat in the garden for half an hour before messing about with my hanging baskets. Today I will probably sit out with my partner and get “Merry” on chilled white or pink wine! Got to make the most of the nice weather!

I was up and ready to make two phone calls at 9am. Last night I messed up my password when on line banking and got locked out. So got that sorted with very patient customer service at Danske Bank.

Also this last month we have got our affairs in order. New Wills, Powers of Attorney, Funeral Plans, and grave bought. But where are the house Deeds! So I'm chasing Bank and Solicitor ( who has furloughed most staff and only operating via email) trying to locate them. Won't settle until I get responses.

Henry Fraser is the mouth artist.

GabriellaG54 Thu 07-May-20 10:23:39

My favourite artist is Vermeer.
I also think the work done by mouth artist and ex rugby player ? is wonderful and I intend to buy one or two.
ATM my favourite painting is The Tempest.

My nephew introduced me to podcasts and I love them, especially those that interest me most i.e. art history. And I watch Youtube clips such as Philip Mould "Art in Isolation", very short and so interesting.

I’ve just finished the morning tidying and pottering essentials. Now I am going to get showered and dressed, and press on with scrubs bags I am making for the NHS!

GabriellaG54 Wed 06-May-20 23:16:36

Do show us a pic of the finished product Missfoodlove

GabriellaG54 Wed 06-May-20 23:15:03

I wonder if or when this enthusiasm, excitement even, with baking, cooking, sourdough, slots, flour, plants and clearing out, will fade. ??

Missfoodlove Wed 06-May-20 23:08:41

In bed having 10 minutes screen time after a busy day.
I’m very excited to get up in the morning to see if my first ever sourdough has worked?
A week of feeding the starter and finally made my first dough.

GabriellaG54 Wed 06-May-20 22:15:33

No idea what wmwui k is all about. Gremlins ??

Dollymc1 Wed 06-May-20 21:51:22

I'm at last finishing crocheting a blanket for the foodbank, I started just before the lockdown, how slow is that?
I find that I have been distracted and unable to concentrate far more than usual
Not surprising I suppose

GabriellaG54 Wed 06-May-20 21:43:43

Right now? Sprawled on (not in) bed amending tomorrow's delivery and looking for free tomato plants on Nextdoor. I've 2 half frozen Activia rhubarb yogurts on a tray, waiting to be eaten. Then wmwui k shower and sleep ???
Can't get delivery of growbags for love nor money. Maybe Monday if Boris lets us out ?

Washed the cats nether regions. Put cream on it. Tried to pill her. Got bitten. Gave up on the pill. Put the cone of shame on her. 5 mins later, picked up the cone where she’d taken it off. 30 mins later, tried to pill her again. Bitten again. Gave up. Brian wave! Tuna. Hid pill in tuna. Gave tuna to cat. Cat ate tuna. Picked up pill. Repeated the process. This time... success!

Think I’m ready for bed now.

Floradora 'holiday' in your garden, order in nice meals and watch films in the evenings.

LadyGracie Wed 06-May-20 20:15:15

I’ve been sorting shrubs out that my neighbour put in a skip, I can’t bear to see live plants thrown away.
